Olive fruit extract, added to condition skin.
What it does
It’s extracted from olives, the fruit of the olive tree.
The evidence, graded
expert consensusUS safety reviewers (2023) assessed 23 olive ingredients, most used to condition skin, and judged the 16 from the fruit, leaf, husk and seed safe as used; their list names olive fruit extract. A face cream with 0.0005% olive fruit extract didn’t irritate, and a product with 0.0025% caused no allergy in 100 people. Skin lightening, a listed use of the fruit extract, counts as a drug effect in the US; the reviewers didn’t assess it and said cosmetics shouldn’t lighten skin.Expert 2023 · Cosmetic Ingredient Review ↗
