olea botanical extract - olea hydroglycerin stock A Mediterranean powerhouse for skin defense.
The extract

The Mediterranean Secret to Resilient Skin

Botanical Identity: Olea Europaea Leaf Extract (commonly known as Olive Leaf or Olea Europaea) is derived from the leaves of the olive tree. At Formulate Labs, we ensure our offerings are specified by their INCI name for clarity and consistency, rather than proprietary supplier SKUs.

Dual mechanism: Olea Europaea Leaf Extract supports skin structure and defense through multiple pathways. Its polyphenols, notably oleuropein, act as potent free-radical scavengers, neutralizing reactive oxygen species from environmental stressors. Additionally, it helps preserve the dermal matrix by downregulating degrading enzymes while stimulating dermal fibroblasts, supporting the natural synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for skin firmness and resilience.

Use levels: — When dosing Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin stock of Olea Europaea Leaf Extract, a typical concentration in finished formulations ranges from 0.1% to 5.0%. For benefits related to daily skin defense and anti-aging, use levels between 1.0% and 3.0% of this stock are generally recommended.

Market context: — The market for Olive Leaf Extract is diverse, with competitors employing different strategies. Some position their extracts as premium, clinically substantiated actives for anti-aging and anti-pollution, often with COSMOS compliance. Others leverage the ingredient's Mediterranean heritage, focusing on conceptual benefits like 'purifying' or 'calming' for sensitive skin lines. A third approach emphasizes standardized percentages of key bioactives like oleuropein, highlighting technical consistency and functional utility across cosmetic and nutricosmetic applications.

Pricing context: — Public B2B pricing for bulk liquid glycerite extracts generally ranges from $33 to $42 per kilogram. However, highly standardized or clinically backed extracts can command significantly higher premiums. For Formulate Labs, a potential pricing ladder for our specific offering includes 500 g for $31.20, 1 kg for $48.00, and 17 kg pails at $612.00 (equivalent to $36.00/kg).
