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.

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.

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.
