Hydroxytyrosol

Hydroxytyrosol is a natural, potent, and protective polyphenol derived from olive juice and olive oil. It is an ingredient with improved clinical outcomes produced using a unique process from natural raw materials. It has a strong safety profile and is not associated with major adverse events.

However, olive juice has over 300 times the level of antioxidant polyphenols compared to olive oil. Hydroxytyrosol is scientifically recognized for its powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective health benefits. Independent laboratory analyses have demonstrated that hydroxytyrosol is one of the most potent natural antioxidants yet discovered with the highest level of free radical protection activity ever reported for any natural antioxidant compound.

Hydroxytyrosol’s therapeutic effects have been demonstrated in a large number of published scientific articles in internationally-recognized journals. In human and animal studies, hydroxytyrosol has been shown to induce significant therapeutic effects on the cardiovascular system, improve the quality of life of patients with osteoporosis, and reduce markers of inflammation. These findings have all been reported in peer-reviewed, internationally-recognized academic journals.

Hydroxytyrosol is a perfect ingredient for skin, hair, scalp, and body care applications. It exhibits a unique anti-inflammatory activity reducing induced erythema, discomfort, and skin trauma. In addition, it shows remarkable activity in water retention (TEWL) and epidermal regeneration for all skin types. Thanks to antiseptic properties, it fights against skin infections and acne while acting as a natural preservative, and improving the shelf-life of the preparation. It relieves pain in chronic skin disorders, prevents photoaging and oxidative stress, and increases glutathione quantities. In addition, Hydroxytyrosol strengthens the scalp, hair follicles, and nails.
