Olea Europaea Leaf Extract description

_Olea europaea_ leaf extract is the extract of the leaves of the olive plant. Though the oil extracted from olive fruit is well known for its skin care uses (particularly in helping protect skin’s moisture barrier), emerging research shows that there are multiple benefits to topical application of olive leaf extract. Studies show olive leaf extract has a potent ability to fight free-radical damage, and phenolic compounds, including catechin and rutin. These qualities make it an excellent antioxidant to use in anti-aging skin care products. There is even some research demonstrating olive leaf extract may have some photoprotective ability and can help reduce UVA-induced skin damage, though more studies need to be done to see just how effective it is in this capacity. Usage of _Olea europaea_ leaf extract is also considered environmentally friendly, since it’s a byproduct of the olive oil industry. Usage levels of olive leaf extract in cosmetics range from 0.1–5%, depending on whether the extract is used on its own or is part of a blend with ingredients such as water, glycols or saccharides.
