UNLOCK RADIANT SKIN WITH
OLIVEDA SKINCARE

Kind to Skin, Kind to Earth — Everything You Want to Know About Oliveda’s Cruelty – Free Skincare. 

We’re only given one set of skin so it’s important that we take good care of it! As an aesthetician, I love educating women on how to take the best care of their skin so they love the skin they’re in through their different stages of life. Over the years, I have tried A LOT of skincare products. There are a lot of good ones out there. But there aren’t a lot of AMAZING ones! I prefer to use skincare products that are holistic and natural but it can be hard to find ones that are good for you and the earth that actually work at targeting your specific skincare needs.

I just turned 40 and for the past few years I’ve noticed the natural signs of aging creep up: fine lines & wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, age spots, redness, and dark circles. I’ve been on the hunt for a holistic skincare line that is good for my skin and that also helps me age gracefully. And I FINALLY found it! Here’s everything you need to know about Oliveda’s cruelty free skincare.

What is Olive Tree People?

The Olive Tree People brand was founded by Thomas Lommel. When Thomas was 33 years old, he became very ill. He relied heavily on medication to survive. This is what he says:

“After I had stopped my medication and completely changed my diet, I always started my day with a glass of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon and embalmed myself with olive oil, both outside and inside from morning to late at night. I felt the first small, positive change on the ninth day of my self-created therapy. I became more sensitive and could perceive myself better and better. With every little achievement, my confidence grew that no one else can know better than me what is good or not good for me. I discovered my inner physician – who is slumbering in all of us.”

“After another 176 days of “feeling into myself”, 176 days with not a single relapse, I was completely restored. I was able to sleep on the side of my heart again, had no more ulcers, my skin looked healthy like never before and I was full of vitality. I had accomplished all of this with the power of the olive tree, and, most importantly, without any side effects.”

Thomas healed through the power of the olive tree. He wanted others to feel the healing benefits of the olive tree too and set out to create a company that heals your skin from the inside out.

Read the rest of the Olive Tree People story and Thomas’ interview about why Oliveda is different.

The Olive Tree Company consists of several branches:

• Oliveda (Olive Tree Pharmacy)– Oliveda is a waterless beauty brand that contains Hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol is the powerful ingredient in Oliveda skincare. It is derived from olive tree leaves and is one of the most powerful antioxidant compounds. It helps reduce inflammation, acne, redness, dark circles, fine lines & wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
• LA Dope (CBD Beauty Therapy)– In the LA DOPE products, hyaluron and hemp are combined for the first time to create a unique beauty synergy.
• OliveMush (Morning Ritual)– Olivemush is an alternative to coffee. It consists of 100% olive leaf/hydroxytyrosol, organic cacao, mediterranean herbs and functional mushrooms. It does not contain caffeine.

Oliveda is different because:

What is Cruelty-Free Skincare?

Cruelty free skincare means that the products have not been tested on animals and animals have not been harmed in any way in the process. Oliveda skincare is cruelty free. Oliveda skincare products are:

• Waterless Did you know that most skincare products contain atleast 70% water? That means 3 things: You’re paying a lot for water! The ingredients in your skincare aren’t as effective because they’re watered down. Your skincare products have fillers and preservatives to maintain a longer shelf life.
• Made in Germany This skincare line has been sold in Germany for 20 years and came to the USA in 2023. It passes the high EU standards.
  Organic Each product is derived from the raw materials from their own organically certified mountain olive trees.
• Hand Crafted Each glass bottle is hand-crafted and has a short shelf life because of it’s fresh ingredients.
• Cruelty-Free these products have not been tested on animals were harmed in the process.
• Gluten-Free There are no ingredients that are derived from gluten or grains.
• Fragrance-Free If fragrances are also used, then only a composition of essential oils is used.
• They contain no fillers or silicons The ingredients are natural, bioactive, and fresh.

What is Waterless Beauty?

Did you know that most skincare products contain at least 70% water?

• You’re paying a lot for water! 
• The ingredients in your skincare aren’t as effective because they’re watered down. 
• Because the products contain mostly water, fillers and preservatives are added to maintain a longer shelf life.

When you add water to skincare, you need to add fillers and preservatives to maintain a longer shelf life. And those preservatives can cause inflammation. Having water in your skincare, waters it down! It makes the active ingredients in the products less effective and less potent.

Waterless beauty allows the ingredients to work their magic more efficiently and effectively! Oliveda replaces 70% water with 70% hydroxytyrosol. Any water in the product is naturally deri

Why Vegan Skincare Is Important

Vegan skincare are products that are created without the use of ingredients from animals or animal by-products. This is important to some people because they have a love and respect for animals or they could be allergic or have a restricted diet.

Most of Oliveda’s skincare products are vegan. You can confirm if a product is vegan by looking on the product’s page and scrolling to the image under the “Application” instructions.

These are the only Oliveda products that are not vegan:

• I66 – The Beauty Fountain (collagen from Pata Negras, an Iberico breed of pigs)
• F65 – Corrective Midnight Elixir (wild caught fish liver)
• 004 – Dope Your Wrinkles – La Dope Line (wild caught fish liver)
• F05 – Antioxidant Face Cream (goat milk)
• F76 – Honey Enzyme Face Mask (honey)
• F77 – Olive Matcha Face Mask (honey)
• F84 – Blemish Control Face Mask (honey)
