- Product Background
- OLIVE cultivation played an integral role in the development of the local civilizations in the Mediterranean region, the home of the grayish-white olive trees bearing small green or black fruits. Olive has become a symbol: a sign of strength and longevity for some, and emblematic of victory and peace for others. Precious olive oil represents prestige and wealth. Each part of the olive tree (bark, leaves, fruits) is used for its specific properties : astringent, invigorating, cleansing, diuretic, feverreducing and antirheumatic.
- Benefits
- ANTIOXIDANT
- SOOTHING
- ASTRINGENT
- Olive leaves boast antioxidant benefits, brought by flavonoids and simple phenols (hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol), which are ideal for anti-aging skincare and sun protection products. One of these flavonoids, oleuropein, reduces inflammation and delivers a skinsoothing effect. Its activity is reinforced by phytosterols, which also maintain the skin’s moisture levels thanks to their filmogenic properties. Astringency in olives comes from tannins, which fulfill a sebum-regulating function.

- Olive botanical extract comes from leaves. It is manufactured through plant extraction at 40°C, a 2-hour process using only green solvents, under agitation. The low temperature and short kinetics help maintain the integrity of the active molecules, while extracting the maximum amount of target compounds. The extraction solvent is a mixture of glycerin and water (50:50). The depleted olive leaves and impurities are then eliminated through filtration. Environmentally sound as it reduces energy consumption, this process preserves the quality of olive botanical extract while keeping its denaturation to a minimum. Moreover, it is easy to formulate and compatible with water-based cosmetics formulas. Available in conventional form, olive botanical extract is also offered in organic version.
