Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Anti-Inflammatory
Strengthens Barrier
Softens and smooths skin
Traditional Use
Used in Mediterranean folk medicine for centuries as a remedy for fever, inflammation, and hypertension. Olive leaf was traditionally brewed as tea for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and applied topically for skin wounds and infections.
