Olea Europaea Fruit Extract

The olive is a culture, it is nature, synonymous with health, and a symbol of purity. From a chemical point of view, it is an extraordinarily rich fruit. A natural anti-aging source, olive extract or Olea Europaea Fruit Extract is rich in antioxidants that prevent photodamage, essential nutrients, and vitamins.

Skin health is a balance between the mechanisms that generate free radicals and those that neutralize them. Oxidative stress brings wrinkles, loose firmness, spots, and aging. Skin cells need to be protected by natural antioxidants like olive extract.

Olea Europaea Fruit Extract contains lipids that have analog structures of the cellular membranes which prolongate the bioavailability of the active ingredients. It supports better absorption and distribution of the other ingredients in the formulation. In addition, it stabilizes the active ingredients in the formula.

Rich in polyphenolic compounds (hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, and other polyphenols), Olea Europaea Fruit Extract is a powerful natural antioxidant. Investigators from the Institute of Fats of the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) have isolated an antioxidant from the olive which is much stronger than those which are at present being used in nutrition (such as vitamin C): Hydroxytyrosol. The advantage offered by this new compound is that Hydroxytyrosol is extremely potent (great free antiradical activity).
