For adults, hydroxytyrosol is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a gentle antioxidant derived from olives and safety checks show only very low concerns for cancer, allergy, and effects on reproduction or development.
Use products that contain hydroxytyrosol as directed on the label. Before using a new product on your face or large areas, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Follow the product concentration and frequency recommendations and avoid making or using homemade, concentrated extracts.
Stop use if you notice redness, itching, swelling, or other signs of irritation. Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin and keep products out of reach of children. Although the ingredient safety data reports only low concerns, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have known allergies to olive extracts or similar plant phenolics, talk with your healthcare provider before use. This advice is based on the provided ingredient safety data.
