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 environmental factors, irritation, and the signs of maturing skin. Its powerful antioxidant properties are demonstrated by the ORAC value study (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity). Hydroxytyrosol has an ORAC value of 27,000 compared to Vitamin C with an ORAC value of 2,100.
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 environmental factors, irritation, and the signs of maturing skin. Its powerful antioxidant properties are demonstrated by the ORAC value study (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity). Hydroxytyrosol has an ORAC value of 27,000 compared to Vitamin C with an ORAC value of 2,100.
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, which can neutralize free radicals and minimize the signs of maturing skin.
Soothing: Can soothe skin, leading to clearer, calmer skin and a more vibrant complexion.
Rejuvenating: Promotes cell regeneration, contributes to skin elasticity, and minimizes the appearance of maturing skin.
Skin Hydration: Holds moisture in the skin and maintains a hydrated complexion.
Protection: Shields the skin from UV rays, pollution, and toxins, maintaining skin radiance.
Skin Tautness: Promotes type I collagen production, which contributes to skin tautness and elasticity.
Skin Tone: Evens out 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 from free radicals, environmental and UV-induced factors while the rejuvenating and moisturizing properties minimize the signs of maturing skin, contributing to tautness and skin elasticity. The soothing properties minimize irritation.
Hydroxytyrosol, like all of our olive-based products, is organically eco-certified.
