Myrtle Leaf Extract

Myrtle’s leaves and fruits have been widely used as folk medicine for the treatment of digestive, pulmonary and skin problems in many parts of the world. Its medicinal functions have been noted as early as 600 B.C.

Highly concentrated in phenolic acids and flavonoids, of which ortho-diphenols are powerful antioxidants. Myrtle extract helps in scavenging the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which develop in cutaneous cells. It protects from photo-induced oxidative stress 10 times more efficiently than pure vitamin E.

 

In skincare, myrtle essential oil is valued for its astringent properties. It can help address oily skin, open pores, sagging skin, and acne.

 

Olive Leaf Extract

The leaf extract stimulates the synthesis of fibres – collagens, elastin and proteoglycans – in the extracellular matrix. It also helps to balance the regeneration of the epidermis.

One of the primary substances in olive leaf is a compound known as oleuropein, and it’s been attracting the attention of scientists for over 100 years – it offers antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial activities. Lab studies have discovered that the extract of the olive leaf is effective for battling microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, protozoa and viruses.

Wounds heal faster with olive leaf extract, according to a study published in a 2011 issue of “Journal of Medicinal Foods.”

Olive leaf extract protects against skin damage from sun exposure, say researchers of a study published in a 2010 “Phytotherapy Research” journal. Olive leaf extract and an active constituent of olive leaf, called oleuropein, given twice daily for 14 days inhibited skin-thickening reactions to ultraviolet radiation. The extract and oleuropein also slowed melanin production and inhibited an enzyme that breaks down skin tissue.
