Olea Europaea Bud Extract, derived from the nascent buds of the olive tree, is recognized for its rich profile of phenolic compounds. These bioactive molecules, including secoiridoids and flavonoids, are primarily associated with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits for the skin, while also contributing emollient properties.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract exerts its proposed effects through its inherent phenolic compounds, specifically secoiridoids, flavonoids, simple phenols, cinnamic acid derivatives, and lignans. These constituents are believed to function as antioxidants, helping to neutralize free radicals, and may also contribute to soothing skin irritation via anti-inflammatory pathways.
