HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPOTLIGHT

THE OLIVE LEAF
A Powerhouse Skincare Ingredient

Megan Kitchen
Lead Aesthetician
Kanani Pearl Spa

Did you know that the leaf of an olive tree, when expertly extracted, can increase the effectiveness of vitamins C and E by 400%?

The olive leaf contains much more biologically active substances than does olive oil, but up to this point, has been very difficult to chemically stabilize. We feature several products with pharmaceutical grade olive leaf extract, scientifically proven to be an extremely potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient. This preparation fights skin damage from intrinsic aging and solar damage so it is very healing to damaged skin tissues. Olive leaf also possesses anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-histaminic (anti-itch) effects.

The benefits of olive leaf extract can be found in several products at Kanani Pearl Spa. One of my favorites is IS Clinical's SPF 25 Treatment Sunscreen. This is a moisturizer and sunblock in one, containing olive leaf extract, vitamin E, centella asiatica, and micro-encapsulated zinc oxide, the type of sunblock which is healthiest for your skin. The 3 ounce tube is just $36.
