Overview
Antioxidant Complex T-5 replaces four separate extracts with one water-phase liquid. It combines Ginkgo biloba leaf, olive leaf, rooibos leaf and green tea leaf in a glycerin-water base, so a formulator can add a broad polyphenol profile in a single weighing. The full INCI is Water, Glycerin, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract, Aspalathus Linearis Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. CAS is listed as Mixture.
Color
T-5 is an amber botanical liquid, so it can tint a white cream or a clear gel. Check the shade in your own base, and consider amber or opaque packaging.
Where T-5 fits
Daytime moisturizers, antioxidant serums, after-sun gels and light lotions are the natural homes. Claims stay cosmetic: helps protect the formula and the skin's look from everyday environmental stress, a fresher, brighter look.
Example: 100 g daytime antioxidant gel-serum
This is a starting point for lab trials, not a validated product. Water phase: 88.2 g deionized water, 3 g glycerin, 0.5 g xanthan gum dispersed in the glycerin. Check pH and adjust to the preservative's working range, then run stability and challenge testing before release. Replace part of the water with Hyaluronic Acid Liquid for more cushion.
Pairing ideas
T-5 pairs well with Tamarind for film-forming hydration in a day product. For an evening expression-line serum, keep T-5 out and use a peptide such as Acetyl Octapeptide-3 Solution peptide solution C. Niacinamide and panthenol are easy water-phase companions.
Why one blend instead of four extracts
Weighing one liquid instead of four cuts handling time and reduces lot-to-lot variables, since a single CoA covers the whole blend. It also keeps the ingredient list readable while still naming four recognizable botanicals.
Ordering
T-5 is a cosmetic raw material, not a finished serum. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $35 or more. Browse more botanical extracts.

Stability notes for polyphenol blends
Polyphenols can darken over time, especially with heat, light and trace metals. Run stability in the final packaging at room temperature and 40 °C, checking color and odor at each time point. A small amount of a chelating agent in the water phase and opaque packaging help keep the shade steady. Record pH before and after adding T-5, since botanical liquids can shift it slightly.
Storage
Keep the liquid tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. Refrigerate opened material where practical and respect the shelf life on the CoA.
