Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract is believed to exert its effects primarily through antioxidant activity, attributed to radical-scavenging compounds present in olive wood. Broader research on olive extracts suggests roles in reducing inflammation, providing hydration, soothing the skin, and offering anti-aging benefits through its rich polyphenol and flavonoid content. It also functions as a skin conditioning agent, enhancing the skin's overall feel and appearance.
