What is Olive Tree People?
INTRODUCING OLIVEDA
I’ve been using products from Oliveda by Olive Tree People, a premium skincare brand that adheres to stringent EU standards. A LOT of people ask me what Olive Tree People is and what sets them apart is their commitment to waterless formulations—meaning water isn’t the primary ingredient, allowing for highly concentrated, potent olive leaf essences. Everything is single-sourced from their own sustainable olive groves in Spain and meticulously crafted in Germany. It’s this pure, high-quality approach that’s made such a noticeable difference in my skin’s radiance and hydration. If you look on the back of your current skincare bottle and you see the first ingredient is water, more than likely that bottle is holding around 70% of water as its main ingredient. Oliveda skincare’s goal is to remove that water and replace it with … olea europaea (olive leaf cell extract)
A key secret to my results is their innovative use of the Olive Leaf Elixir—a powerful, bioactive cell elixir extracted from the fresh, green leaves of their ancient mountain olive trees. This concentrated elixir is exceptionally rich in hydroxytyrosol, one of nature’s most potent antioxidants (up to 3,000 times more concentrated than in olive oil itself). Hydroxytyrosol acts as the olive tree’s own protective ‘shield,’ enabling these trees to thrive for thousands of years with remarkable vitality.
What makes it so vital is its ability to neutralize free radicals, combat oxidative stress, and support cellular regeneration—helping to minimize signs of aging, protect against environmental damage, and promote a natural, glowing complexion.
WHY WATERLESS?
The secret is in the leaves!
When Oliveda (aka Olive Tree People) refers to their products as “waterless,” they mean water isn’t used as the primary base in many of the product formulations. Instead, olive leaves are pressed to create a nutrient-rich elixir that serves as the foundation for many of their products. This extract contains Hydroxytyrosol, a naturally occurring compound found in olives and olive oil.
Hydroxytyrosol (HTyr) is a plant phenol that has been widely studied for its antioxidant properties. In skincare, antioxidants are valued for helping support the skin’s natural defenses against environmental stressors.
Because Oliveda products use olive leaf extract as a base rather than water, the formulas are designed to deliver concentrated botanical ingredients that help support healthy-looking, radiant skin. With consistent use, many people report that their skin feels more hydrated, balanced, and refreshed.
Olive Tree People harnesses this elixir in two transformative ways:
• On the outside (topically in their waterless creams, elixirs, and serums), it directly rejuvenates the skin, tightens and firms, reduces inflammation, boosts hydration and elasticity, and shields against UV and pollution-induced stress for visibly smoother, more radiant skin.
• On the inside (through their drinkable beauty and health elixirs like the ORAC & Camu Camu Olive Leaf Concentrate), it provides systemic support—delivering powerful antioxidants internally to fight free radicals throughout the body, enhance overall vitality, support longevity, and contribute to beauty from within by protecting cells and reducing oxidative damage that shows up on the skin.

WHERE TO START
Interested in getting started with Olive Tree People Skincare but not sure where to begin? I got you covered. This is the perfect skincare line for those looking to take a more holistic route, or wanting skincare products that aren’t as expensive as medical grade but still high quality and using more natural ingredients, Oliveda is perfect for ALL skin types.
ORAC & Camu Camu
Olive Leaf Concentrate
I01 ORAC & Camu Camu Olive Leaf Concentrate holds a special place for me—it’s the foundational product that started it all for Olive Tree People (Oliveda), the very first creation by founder Thomas Lommel back in 2001. Born from his own journey in an olive tree house in Spain, this waterless, drinkable elixir was designed to care for both skin and body from the inside out, long before the brand expanded into their beloved topical line.
It blends ultra-potent hydroxytyrosol from fresh olive leaf cell extracts (up to 3,000 times more concentrated than in typical olive oil) with camu camu, one of nature’s highest natural vitamin C sources (up to 30 times more than oranges) plus iron.
Discovering Oliveda truly shifted my perspective—I used to think great skin came mostly from what I put on topically, but this company opened my eyes to the bigger picture: true radiance and vitality have to start within. If the inside isn’t happy and supported—think gut health, quality sleep, balanced hormones, a calm nervous system—it will show on the outside through fatigue, dullness, or other signs.
Using I01 ORAC & Camu Camu Leaf Concentrate to hone in on internal health made such a profound impact for me, helping defend against everyday oxidative stress, supporting cellular vitality and immune function via vitamin C, and giving that energized, glowing feel that radiates outward.
Simply take 1 teaspoon (or 2-3 pipettes) daily straight, in water, juice, or a smoothie as part of your routine. As with any supplement, it’s meant to complement a balanced lifestyle—always check with your healthcare provider.
I56 Extra Virgin Olive Oil: A Difference You Can Taste
This inside-out approach is complemented by Olive Tree People’s I56 Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the same certified pesticide-free groves, naturally watered without irrigation for exceptional purity. The oil is so clean with a crisp, fresh taste that reflects its high quality. As part of a balanced diet where it replaces fats higher in saturated fat and without increasing overall calories, limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that consuming about 2 tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fats in olive oil.
This holistic, nature-intelligent regimen is why my skin looks and feels so healthy and youthful—it’s nourished at every level with pure ingredients straight from their own groves.
FOCUS ON HYDRATION
When it comes to tying internal and external care together, let’s START with F06 CELL ACTIVE SERUM by Olive Tree People. It is the perfect bridge to adding it initially into your current regimen. It remains a standout because it hydrates on a level I have never seen before from any other company I have tried. For a simple routine, apply F06 Cell Active Serum and just a moisturizer – or take it next level by adding it with a more full skincare cycling routine using retinols and exfoliants. It is known for its versatility and simplicity.
Why F06 fits both worlds:
- One product, multiple uses
- Lightweight and beginner-friendly
- Easy to stay consistent with
- Hydration and Soothing benefits
If someone were only going to choose one external skincare product while exploring internal options, F06 from Oliveda would be my recommendation hands down. Start with hydration products like this THEN move into others and you’ll see that difference in my opinion.
*Always start slow – one day one 2 days off to start for a week or two, then increase to more.
It can be a product you slowly add into your routine morning and night but just start with night initially.
These three products are where I recommend starting. When we see skin concerns on the outside, there’s often something going on inside the body as well, which is why I like pairing internal support like I01 and I56 (as a morning shot) with topical care. Then FO6 on the skin helps provide deep hydration and creates a beautiful glow—unlike any serum I’ve personally tried.
Sometimes skin needs additional support, but this trio is a great foundation. Olive Tree People offers many more products, but I believe order of operation matters. Supporting the body first and focusing on hydration helps create a healthier base before adding more steps.
FO6 Cell Active Serum works well for many different skin types, but it’s best introduced slowly—following my method of one day on, two days off for about three weeks, then gradually increasing use. As a serum, it should be applied early in your routine since skincare generally goes from thinnest to thickest formulas.
Of course, always do your own research when it comes to internal products, and consult a professional if needed. I’m not a healthcare provider and don’t make medical claims—my goal is simply to share what has worked in my experience.
If you want personalized guidance so you’re not guessing with your skincare and can properly protect your skin barrier, I love working with people one-on-one.

FAQS & ANSWERS
Hydroxytyrosol is a powerful polyphenol which occurs naturally in Sho olive fruit, pulp, leaves and mill waste wators. Hydroxytyrosol is a well-known component found in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is derived from hydrolysis of the polyphenol olouropein during olive maturation and olive oil storage. It is also a vital component which largely adds to the stability of olive oil. Uniquely, hydroxytyrosol is the only polyphenol which is able to cross the blood brain barrier, which allows it to have a significant action to scavenge free radicals in the nervous system.
Each product is different so ingredients may vary, but all of their products contain hydroxytyrosol.
Oliveda has a return policy of 365 days; they’re confident in their product and the quality provided for you and your skin.
Yes! I highly recommend getting the products suggested to you via email after completing the Oliveda skincare quiz. However, if you’d like to start small I always recommend the Love Duo to begin with as this pair of serum and oil help to rejuvenate and regenerate your skin cells, encouraging healthy, hydrated skin.
