PALMITOYL OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT.

Leveraging the rich polyphenols, flavonoids, and oleuropein inherent to olive leaf, Palmitoyl Olive Leaf Extract acts as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals to mitigate premature aging. Its anti-inflammatory action is demonstrated by the suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and reactive oxygen species, alongside promoting the shift of M1 to less inflammatory M2 macrophages. The ingredient enhances skin hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and boosting moisture levels. It also supports collagen production, thereby minimizing fine lines and improving overall skin texture. Additional benefits include photoprotection against UVB-induced damage through melanin regulation and enzyme inhibition, antimicrobial effects for acne management, and potential support for wound healing and hyperpigmentation reduction.
