Olives have a long history of consumption in Europe and the United States, and have been favored by women, mainly because olives contain oleopicroside. In addition to fruits, olive leaves are also rich in oleopicroside. After more than 100 years of research, it has been found that oleopicroside has a variety of pharmacological and biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti microbial, anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, anti-cancer and hypoglycemic. Its antioxidant effect is twice that of green tea and grape seed extracts and five times that of vitamin C. In addition to fruits, olive leaves are also rich in oleopicroside, which is a powerful antioxidant to protect human body from free radicals and oxidative damage, and can delay aging and promote health.

    The protective, antioxidant and repairing effects of oleopicroside are as follows:

    1. Oleopicroside can maintain the viability of skin cells　

Ultraviolet light can cause the formation of free radicals, which can damage skin cells and even cause cell death in the morning. The use of cosmetics containing oleopicroside can effectively protect the skin.

    2. Protection antioxidant reaction　

Ultraviolet light can also cause lipid breakdown of cell membrane, that is, peroxidation. Oleopicroside can effectively prevent peroxidation and thus highly protect fibroblasts.　

    3. Repair and promote collagen synthesis　

In the process of skin aging, the ability of collagen synthesis gradually decreases, and fiber cells can only produce a small amount of collagen. Oleopicroside can significantly promote the production of collagen protein by fibroblasts.

    4. Anti glycan reaction

Oleopicroside can effectively resist glycan reaction and delay skin relaxation and aging. Glycan reaction is a reaction that occurs in the cell membrane. It will cause the network of collagen, so that the collagen protein loses its original elasticity, and the skin will be sunken, that is, wrinkles. This phenomenon increases with age.

    5. Resistance to collagenase

Collagenase is an enzyme produced by fiber cells under the influence of free radicals -- under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, keratinocytes will release some information, thus stimulating fiber cells to produce collagenase. Oleopicroside indirectly reduces the secretion of collagenase by inhibiting the production of "information" in keratinocytes induced by ultraviolet light.   It can reduce the production of skin horniness and make the skin smooth and clean.
