Information

Hydroxytyrosol is a potent antioxidant found in olive oil and olive leaves, known for its remarkable benefits in our products. It is a phenolic compound that plays a significant role in protecting the skin from damage, aging, and inflammation. Its powerful antioxidant properties are demonstrated by the ORAC value study (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity).

Where does it come from?

Hydroxytyrosol is derived from the olive tree, specifically from its fruit and leaves. It is naturally generated during the hydrolysis of oleuropein. This converts oleuropein, the main phenolic component of olives, into hydroxytyrosol, a much more active molecule. The highest concentration of hydroxytyrosol is found in olive leaves.
