Science
Mechanism of Action
The fermentation process concentrates and isolates key phenolic compounds such as oleuropein, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and tannins from olive fruit and leaves. These active compounds provide potent antioxidant effects, safeguarding skin from oxidative stress and supporting anti-aging pathways by improving cell viability. Specific derivatives like hydroxytyrosol offer anti-inflammatory and photoprotective benefits, can regulate tyrosinase for brighter skin, and promote keratinocyte proliferation for skin repair. It also exhibits antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, acts as an astringent to refine skin, and functions as a humectant to enhance moisture retention and barrier integrity.

Stability
For optimal stability, it is advised to incorporate this ingredient during the cool-down phase of formulation, typically below 40°C. Storage in a cool, dry place, protected from light, is recommended, as stability can vary with concentration and storage conditions.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed various Olea europaea (olive)-derived ingredients, including fruit and leaf extracts, safe for cosmetic use. Lactic Acid Bacteria, often used in fermentation, are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Sodium chloride is a widely accepted safe ingredient. While this specific ferment filtrate hasn't been individually reviewed by CIR, its constituent components are considered safe.
