Key Benefits
Fights Acne:
Studies have shown that Tea Tree Oil is as effective for treating acne and breakouts as benzoyl peroxide, without all the nasty side effects.
Controls Oil:
The astringency of Tea Tree Oil paired with Green Tea which reduces sebum (the oil your body produces) makes this the ideal product for oily skin.
Anti-aging:
Green Tea is an antioxidant powerhouse. This means it protects against free radicals, which means anti-aging benefits!
Anti-Inflammatory:
Thanks to its high content of polyphenols, called catechins, Green Tea reduces redness and calms irritated skin.
Antibacterial:
The antibacterial and antimicrobial benefits from both Tea Tree Oil and Green Tea cleans skin, kills bacteria, and prevents breakouts.
Reduces Impacts of Sun Damage:
Green Tea can reduce the signs of sun damage and help prevent and correct hyperpigmentation.
Key Ingredients
Tea Tree Essential Oil:
Made from the leaves of a small tree native to Australia, Tea Tree Oil has antiseptic and disinfecting properties, promotes healing, and calms inflammation.
Matcha Green Tea Powder:
Matcha Green Tea is shade grown to promote a higher chlorophyl content, which gives this ingredient its bright green color and high nutrient content. Match powder contains the nutrients of the entire green tea leaf, which results in a higher antioxidant and caffeine content than regular green tea.
Green Tea Extract:
Contains a powerful antioxidant called EGCG which fights free radical damage and combats signs of premature aging. EGCG compounds can actually reactivate skin cells that are dying due to UV exposure and pollution.

What Is Emu Oil?
Emu oil adds an extra boost of moisturization to our products and is recommended for anyone with very dry skin, sensitive skin, or a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis.
Emu oil is incredibly moisturizing, but rapidly absorbs, leaving your skin super hydrated without any greasy feeling. Emu oil has a very similar chemical composition to the sebum (aka oil) naturally produced by our bodies so it is completely non-irritating. It has anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and healing properties making it an excellent choice for anyone suffering from a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, and also has purported benefits for burns and scarring. It does not change the scent of the products, so your Simple Sugars product will smell just as amazing with the emu oil added as it does without it.
Emu oil is an animal product, and is derived from the back fat of the emu bird. The birds are not killed for their oil - emus are raised for their meat, and the oil is a byproduct. We use only the finest, highest quality, refined emu oil, and it is produced in the US. Simple Sugars products with emu oil are not vegan, but the products with emu oil added are the ONLY products in the Simple Sugars line that contain any animal ingredients.
