Did you know that a large majority of skincare products on the market are made up of mostly water? And this is what sets Olive Tree People’s Oliveda Skincare line apart from the rest of the beauty world. Oliveda is a trailblazer in Waterless Beauty. The term “waterless beauty” refers to formulating products without water as a primary ingredient, and it is projected to be the preferred beauty purchase of 86% of consumers over the next decade.
Traditional beauty and skincare products often have water as a base, which is then mixed with various active ingredients, preservatives, and other components. However, waterless beauty products eliminate or significantly reduce the amount of water in their formulations. In the case of Oliveda, Oliveda replaces the 70% of water found in other skincare lines with a unique molecule extracted from the olive leaf called hydroxytyrosol. This magic elixir is key to making Oliveda serums and skin care products some of the best on the market. And not only does this make Oliveda a pioneer in waterless beauty, but it is also what has made it the fastest-growing waterless beauty brand in the United States.
Why Would I Want Waterless Beauty?
99.7% of skincare lines on the market contain 70% water. And because water is unstable, and can attract the formation and growth of fungus and bacteria, preservatives must be added to the product as well. The preservatives end up making up about 25% of the product. So between the water, and the added preservatives, this only leaves 5% left for the active ingredients that are being promoted.
Thus, the active ingredients are diluted and watered down, therefore making them less effective. Not only that, but the preservatives being added to stabilize the water, can often cause redness, irritation, and inflammation – the very things you are trying to heal with the skincare in the first place.
While you may see water listed as an ingredient in Oliveda products, any water is plant-derived and comes directly from the natural extraction process of the olive leaf. It will never be the main ingredient or an added ingredient to make the product stretch further.
With Oliveda skincare products, the pressed olive leaf elixir will always be the main ingredient. And this replaces the 70% water that makes up traditional skincare lines. And then without the added water, Oliveda is also able to eliminate the need for preservatives. So unlike traditional skincare lines that only contain 5% active ingredients, Oliveda’s products contain 100% active ingredients. This means that Oliveda’s products are not only more effective, but the effects also take place even faster!
The Importance of Hydroxytyrosol in Waterless Beauty
Oliveda, a skincare line under Olive Tree People, has been around for over two decades as a luxury skincare line in Europe. It then made its way to the US as a direct-to-consumer brand in July of 2023.
Thomas Lommel, the founder of Olive Tree People and the creator of Oliveda, formulated this skincare as a way to heal the largest organ on the body — our skin. After an in-depth study, experimentation, and the input and assistance of professionals in the field, Thomas was able to curate the Oliveda skincare line based on the clean and holistic use of the pressed olive leaves. Hydroxytyrosol contained in the olive leaves, is known for being one of the most potent antioxidants found in nature. This means that it is incredibly healing and beneficial for the skin and overall health. Hydroxytyrosol is also anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective.
Hydroxytrosol’s long list of incredible health benefits cannot be emphasized enough. This single ingredient can be game-changing for your skin and overall health. You can read more about Hydroxytyrosol and its benefits in this blog post: Hydroxytyrosol: Oliveda’s Star Ingredient
Besides the Hydroxytyrosol, olive leaf extract is also a potent source of polyphenols and has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties capable of inhibiting microbial growth. Unlike other skincare products, there is no need to include any preservatives in the products. This means you’re getting 100% bioactive ingredients with this skincare line.

Where Do I Start with Oliveda’s Waterless Beauty Skincare?
Oliveda has been around for a long time. So there are a lot of incredible products for you to try. But while there is a huge benefit in having so many Oliveda products to choose from, it can also quickly become overwhelming. It might leave you wondering… where do I even start?!
The best way to get started with Oliveda’s skincare line is to take the Oliveda Skincare Quiz. With only 9 questions, it is quick and easy to take. And then your results will let you know which products to get started with, based on your skin’s needs.
Starting Your Journey with Oliveda Skincare
Oliveda has something for everyone. No matter what skin type you have, or skin issues you are dealing with, Oliveda will have a product that will work for you. Even someone like me, with decent skin to begin with, will be able to see significant changes to their skin after using the Oliveda Skincare Line.

And while I am someone who tends to go all in with things, just like I did with Oliveda, you can start slow and still see results. Because skincare is not an all-or-nothing approach. Adding one or two amazing products to your current skincare regimen can be extremely effective in helping transform your skin.
And while the best route is to take the Oliveda skincare quiz to determine the best products for your skin, without knowing you personally or anything about your skin, if I had to recommend two products to get started with, I would recommend the F06 Cell Active Serum and the F63 Cell Active Face Oil. This is because the F06 Cell Active Serum + the F63 Cell Active Face Oil are powerhouses when combined together to create an unmatched skincare synergy. They are referred to as the “Love Duo“.
Synergy in skincare is all about teamwork. When you use these two particular products together, the combination of the two can create even better results than if you used them separately. It’s like they become skincare buddies, working together to make your skin look and feel its absolute best!
How Oliveda Products Have Changed My Skincare Routine
I have tried a lot of different skincare products and serums. And while I have liked all of them okay, I was blown away by Oliveda and their waterless beauty skincare line. Without any major skin issues to combat, I didn’t think I would even see a skin transformation of my own. So when I saw my results after using Oliveda for such a brief time, I was speechless.
It reduced the bunny lines on my nose, softened the pigmentation from the melasma spots on my cheek, reduced the darkness under my eyes, minimized the appearance of my pores, softened and smoothed my complexion, evened out my skin tone, and even lifted my eyelids for a fuller eye look. And this is exactly what I was hoping to find in a skincare line. I love that it’s helping me age gracefully and making my skin look and feel its absolute best.
Oliveda’s waterless beauty products include everything you need for a full and effective skincare routine, including, but not limited to:
