Science
Mechanism of Action
Olea Europaea Leaf Oil is rich in antioxidants, specifically polyphenols and flavonoids such as oleuropein, which actively combat free radical damage to shield the skin from environmental stressors and premature aging. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties that help to soothe irritation and support the skin's natural healing processes, while also contributing to deep hydration and overall skin nourishment.
