Most beauty brands start their formulas with water which dilutes active ingredients and often dries your skin over time. Not Olive Tree People.
No water. No fillers. No compromise.

Each product is waterless and packed with Hydroxytyrosol. That's a powerful antioxidant that supports your skin’s own collagen and elasticity.
It’s the reason your skin feels softer, calmer, and glowier!

Olive Tree People has a wide variety of products from skincare, tinted skincare, and to drinkable elixirs, and more!

Holistic, waterless skincare that creates real results, fast. Powered by hydroxytyrosol; it’s bioactive and clean.

It’s not makeup! It’s tinted skincare infused with the power of hydroxytyrosol.

Super high in polyphenols right from our family owned olive groves in Spain.

All cosmetic products sold in the European Union have to be produced according to the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). GMP requires that every bath of cosmetic products is tested for microbiological, physical, and chemical properties to ensure safety and quality of each batch. You can read more on that here:

Our products are manufactured in Germany every 4 months. They are produced this way to ensure that they are the most bioactive and fresh as possible. This is much different than other brands where products can sit in trucks, shipping units and shelves for months on end. This is why occasionally products do go out of a stock for a short period.

YES, BUT WE ONLY USE NATURAL PRESERVATIVES

OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT AS A NATURAL PRESERVATIVE:
Olive leaf extract is a potent source of polyphenols having antioxidant and antimicrobial properties capable of inhibiting microbial growth.

Sodium Benzonate (Preservative): Sodium benzoate prevents bacteria and fungi from growing in products. The mechanism starts with the absorption of benzoic acid into the cell of a microorganism. If the pH inside the cell falls to 5 or lower, the anaerobic fermentation of glucose through an enzyme called phosphofructokinase decreases sharply. This inhibits the growth and survival of microorganisms that can cause products to spoil.

The concern with sodium benzoate is when it is combined with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a chemical reaction occurs that forms benzene. Benzene has been identified as a carcinogen or cancer-causing ingredient. However, benzene does not form at all if you use products with a very high concentration of vitamin C and a low concentration of sodium benzoate. This is because higher amounts of vitamin C cause it to act as a free radical inhibitor instead of reacting with sodium benzoate. In addition, products formulated with a pH of 3 or above are safer than those with a pH of 2 or less. And above a pH of 7, no benzene forms at all. Lastly, protecting products from light or heat exposure can limit the chances of benzene formation. Manufacturers that follow safe practices can effectively prevent benzene in their products.
We do not use ascorbic acid, our ingestibles contain high concentrations of Camu Camu - ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a much different ingredient.

Potassium Sorbate (Preservative): A natural compound found in a multitude of fruits and vegetables, typical a natural derivative sourced from Mountain Ash Berries, and not synthetically derived. However, it is worth mentioning that even the synthetic version is GRAS (official classification of Generally Recognized As Safe) A food grade designation by every government in the world, and has been subjected to any number of double-blind studies. Today it is considered one of the safest food preservatives, and is found in almost every bit of commercially sold cheese, wine etc. Even the organic versions.

Olive Tree people does not use any synthetic fragrances. If fragrances are used, they are only a commission of essential oils. According to the EU Cosmetics Regulation, these are then summarized under the generic term parfum. Plant allergens such as linalool have to be shown separately according to the EU Cosmetics Regulation. In conclusion, Olive Tree People does not use any synthetic fragrances.

We do not have to be leaping bunny certified because unlike the U.S. who has no federal ban on animal testing, the sale of cosmetics tested on animals has been banned in the European Union for roughly 20 years already.
Bioactive (ADJ): Having an effect on a living organism.
Every single product is 100% bioactive, meaning every product is going to be able to deliver its nutrients without sitting on top of the skin. It means having or producing an effect on living tissue. A bioactive compound is simply a substance that has biological activity to modulate one or more metabolic processes which results in the promotion of better health conditions. You want your products to be bioactive - and it is what sets us apart - and how we are doing it, it's the quality.
Every living bioactive plant substance carries its uniqueness in the form of, for example, color, smell/scent, taste or effectiveness. If only one of these components is changed, for example by industrial processing - and thus in its individuality - it is robbed of its magic and effective power, its soul. In nature, there are no bioactive and thus soulful plant substances that do not have a smell/scent.
Thus, cold-pressed bioactive oils can smell of freshly cut grass or of apples, almonds and orange blossoms. Herbs carry not only the smell/scent of rosemary, lavender or sage, but also the smells/scents of their environment and the aromas and energy of the earth. The infinite diversity of nature.
These ingredients can provide a wide range of benefits, such as promoting cell growth, reducing inflammation, improving hydration, and supporting the skin's natural barrier function.
