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. Our conservation of over 30,000 olive trees is organically eco-certified and located in a mountainous region of Spain.
Powerful Antioxidant Properties: It has significantly higher antioxidant activity compared to vitamin C and vitamin E, effectively neutralizing free radicals and reducing the risk of skin cell damage and aging.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Helps reduce inflammation, leading to clearer, calmer skin and addressing issues like acne and redness.
Anti-Aging Benefits: Promotes cell regeneration, enhances skin elasticity, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Hydration: Retains moisture in the skin, preventing dryness and maintaining a healthy, hydrated complexion.
Protection Against Environmental Damage: Shields the skin from UV rays, pollution, and toxins, preventing further damage and maintaining skin health.
Improved Skin Firmness: Promotes type I collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.
Skin Tone: Evens out and lightens skin tone, providing a brighter and more even complexion.
How is it used in our products?
Hydroxytyrosol is a bioactive beauty molecule that naturally occurs in all OLIVE TREE PEOPLE products that contain olive ingredients such as the leaves, oil, and fruit.
It will appear as a separate ingredient on the Corrective Line (copper labels) because this line has an additional quantity added.
Hydroxytyrosol protects the skin against free radicals and environmental and UV-induced damage while the anti-aging and moisturizing properties effectively reduce wrinkles, enhance firmness, and improve skin elasticity. The soothing properties reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation.
Hydroxytyrosol, like all of our olive-based products, is organically eco-certified.
