If there is one hot topic in the skin care industry this year, it is undoubtedly repairing. Whether it is skin damage caused by exogenous stimuli such as changing seasons and wearing masks for a long time, or "sensitive muscles"/"fragile muscles" caused by staying up late and stress for a long time, people's demand for anti-allergic repair is increasing.
If it is said which ingredient is the most popular in the repairing world, then olive leaf extract is undoubtedly the "king of volume" among them.
There are many repairing products on the market, and olive leaf extract can be seen in many essences that claim to be soothing, redness repairing, stabilizing, and barrier repairing:
Five functions of olive leaf extract
The reason why olive leaf extract can become the "roll king" in the repair industry and is favored by many brands is due to its comprehensive and powerful effects: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-oxidation, promoting wound healing, and whitening.
Among the olive leaf extracts, oleuropein has the highest content.
The powerful benefits of olive leaf extract come from the active ingredient oleuropein.
Oleuropein is a polyphenolic substance that widely exists in various parts of the olive tree, and the content in the leaves is higher than that in the fruits and stems.
1. Oleuropein has anti-inflammatory effect
(1) Olive leaf extract has a significant inhibitory effect on the inflammatory factor TNF-α
(2) The anti-inflammatory effect is concentration-dependent
(3) Among the single components in olive leaf extract, oleuropein has the strongest anti-inflammatory activity, and only oleuropein has a significant inhibitory effect on TNF-α at low concentrations
2. Oleuropein has antibacterial effect
Studies have found that oleuropein has antibacterial effects on both Gram-negative and positive bacteria and has growth inhibitory activity on some common pathogenic bacteria on the skin, such as Staphylococcus aureus.
Oleuropein can destroy the structure of bacteria so that they no longer have biological functions and cannot continue to reproduce, thus achieving antibacterial effects.
3. Eleuroside has antioxidant effect
We have proved through experiments that the diluted Draco olive leaf extract concentrate can efficiently scavenge DPPH free radicals, proving its powerful antioxidant capacity.
4. Oleuropein: Promotes wound healing
Re-epithelialization is an extremely important step in skin wound healing. In the experiment, the mouse skin group treated with oleuropein showed less cell infiltration and better re-epithelialization process; and denser collagen arrangement.
5. Oleuropein has whitening effect
Studies have found that oleuropein can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and prevent the production of melanin to achieve the effect of whitening and brightening the skin.
In the experiment, the concentration of oleuropein was 200 μmol/L, and the inhibition rate of tyrosinase activity in B16 cells was 33.41%; while kojic acid was used as a positive control, the concentration was 600 μmol/L, and the inhibition rate was 13.77%.
The inhibitory effect of oleuropein on B16 cell tyrosinase activity is better than that of kojic acid.
