What Is Olive Leaf Extract？

Olive leaf extract is a dry leaf extract of olives, a plant of the genus Oleraceae. Its main components include flavonoids, terpenes and their derivatives, aromatic compounds, aliphatic compounds, phenolic acid compounds, etc., among which flavonoids, terpenes and their derivatives are the main active ingredients. It has multiple pharmacological effects such as lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, anti-oxidation, anti-thrombosis, antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-cancer, and is widely used in medicines, cosmetics and food supplements.

The main components of olive leaf extract are bitter substances of cyclopentane ether terpenes, of which oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are the most active. It is widely used in health products and cosmetics.

Hydroxytyrosol is naturally found in olives, olive oil (especially extra virgin), and olive leaves. It can also be found in some dietary supplements and skincare products.

What Is Oleuropein？

Oleuropein is a natural compound found primarily in olive leaves and olive oil. It belongs to the family of polyphenols, known for their antioxidant properties, and is recognized for its role in revitalizing cells and protecting them from external factors, especially in skincare.

Research has demonstrated that, beyond its strong antioxidant properties, oleuropein also exhibits anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial effects.

Oleuropein is derived from the olive tree (Olea europaea), most commonly extracted from the leaves and fruit of the tree. It has been used for centuries for its revitalizing benefits.

What Is Hydroxytyrosol？

Hydroxytyrosol is a natural polyphenolic compound with strong antioxidant activity. Found primarily as an ester in olive fruits and leaves, it is a key antioxidant in the Mediterranean diet.

Due to the potent antioxidant capacity of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in its molecular structure, hydroxytyrosol effectively scavenges free radicals and protects cells from oxidative stress. Hydroxytyrosol has attracted significant attention in the health food and nutritional supplement sectors for its diverse health benefits.
