I’m sharing all about Oliveda Beauty Elixirs and why you may want to incorporate them into your beauty and wellness routine.

If you’ve been reading this blog for, oh, say 17 years (!), then you know that real food provides so many of the nutrients you need for glowing skin. I’ve written blog posts about real food for your skin and 10 foods that hydrate skin. But what if you could take it to the next level, maybe when you felt your skin was starting to really show some signs of aging? That’s where I am now. I love what I’m putting on my skin, but I’m also ready to see if drinkable skincare actually works. 

Today, I’m excited to talk all about Oliveda’s Beauty Elixirs. These are drinkable / ingestible supplements created specifically to support skin health using the antioxidant hydroxytyrosol.

What are Oliveda Elixirs?

Think of them as a nutritional supplement – specifically for your skin! Just like the Oliveda topical skincare products, the elixirs are also formulated with hydroxytyrosol – an incredibly potent antioxidant derived from the olive tree; it can help protect your skin from oxidative stress and promote youthful, radiant complexion.

Each elixir combines hydroxytyrosol with other natural ingredients like camu camu (rich in vitamin C), bioactive collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid to enhance skin hydration, elasticity, boost collagen and overall health.

Think of these elixirs as internal skincare. The “I” in the product name stands for internal.

They are designed to nourish your skin and body from the inside out, supporting your natural beauty and vitality.

Whether you are looking to enhance your skin’s hydration, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or simply achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion, Oliveda elixirs are the perfect companion to your topical skincare regimen.

I01 HYDROXYTYROSOL + CAMU CAMU OLIVE LEAF CONCENTRATE

This is an immune system booster packed full of up to 3000-fold higher concentration of antioxidants than is found in olive oil. It’s ideal for both skin health and boosting the immune system. You only need a small dropper per day to add to your routine. And it tastes so good – like a tart juice. 

Benefits of Hydroxytyrosol + Camu Camu:

  • Enhanced Antioxidant Protection: Combining hydroxytyrosol with camu camu provides a powerful antioxidant synergy, offering superior protection against oxidative stress and free radicals.
  • Boosted Immune Support: The high vitamin C content in camu camu, combined with the anti-inflammatory properties of hydroxytyrosol, can significantly enhance immune function.
  • Improved Skin Health: Together, these compounds promote better skin health by supporting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and protecting against environmental damage.
  • Cardiovascular and Neuroprotective Benefits: The combination supports heart health and offers neuroprotective effects, potentially lowering the risk of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Anti-inflammatory Synergy: Both compounds possess strong anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce chronic inflammation and support overall well-being.

What’s It Like?

I think it tastes like wine! It’s a little bit bitter; a little bit sweet. I squirt it right in my mouth after lunch for a palette cleanser. Birch likes it, too! We’ll see how well we fare this cold and flu season. 

I56 EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

This is a superior quality 100% organic olive oil inspired by notes of ripe apples, green olives, wild meadow herbs, and sweet almonds. Bottled and shipped fresh from the olive groves in Spain. This is the real good stuff!

Olive oil is loaded with polyphenols, making it a powerhouse for health benefits. It supports heart health by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, reduces inflammation, and is rich in antioxidants that protect against chronic diseases. Olive oil can aid in weight management, support brain function, and potentially lower cancer risk. It also benefits skin by moisturizing and protecting it, aids digestion, strengthens bones, fights harmful bacteria, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Incorporating olive oil into your diet can have far-reaching positive effects on overall health. I would not buy this to pour into recipes – use it to drizzle fresh on salads or other pure olive oil concoctions. 

I66 BEAUTY FOUNTAIN

This is a beauty potion that combines hydroxytyrosol with bioactive collagen peptides to create a one-of-a-kind active ingredient complex touted to smooth wrinkles. Unfortunately, we all start to lose collagen after the age of 30. The best way to replace it is to supplement with a liquid bioactive collagen peptides, making it easier for the body to absorb. I have yet to taste this one because I’ve been taking the slightly more potent I70 below!

Benefits of Bioactive Collagen Peptides:

  • Improves Skin Elasticity and Hydration: helps to restore skin’s elasticity and moisture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful look.
  • Promotes Healthy Hair and Nails: strengthen hair and nails, reducing brittleness and promoting growth.
  • Supports Joint Health: maintains and repairs cartilage, alleviating joint pain and improving mobility.
  • Enhances Muscle Mass: aids in muscle regeneration and growth.
  • Boosts Bone Density: Collagen is a major component of bones, and its peptides can help in maintaining bone density, reducing the risk of fractures.
  • Aids Digestion: supports gut health by strengthening the lining of the digestive tract, which can help prevent leaky gut syndrome.
  • Supports Weight Management: increases satiety, helping to control appetite and support weight loss efforts.

I70 BEAUTY MOLECULE

This drinkable supplement is a vegan beauty superbooster, combining hydroxytyrosol with hyaluronic acid, lavender, camu camu and turmeric. It has many of the same ingredients as the I66 but with added hyaluronic acid. It’s the one I’d recommend for us mature skin gals. 

Benefits of Liquid Hyaluronic Acid:

  • Intensely Hydrates Skin: known for its ability to retain water, keeping the skin hydrated and plump. This helps to reduce dryness and flakiness, making the skin appear more youthful and radiant.
  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Its hydrating properties make the skin appear fuller and more elastic.
  • Promotes Wound Healing: accelerates wound healing by regulating inflammation levels and signaling the body to build more blood vessels in the damaged area.
  • Improves Skin Elasticity: making it firmer and more resilient.
  • Boosts Skin Barrier Function: strengthens the skin’s natural barriers, helping to protect against environmental damage and pollutants. A stronger skin barrier also helps to prevent moisture loss and keeps the skin hydrated.
  • Soothes and Calms the Skin: calming properties that can help reduce redness and inflammation, making it beneficial for sensitive skin types. It can soothe irritated skin and provide relief from conditions like rosacea and eczema.
  • Supports Joint Health: hyaluronic acid is also found in the joints, where it helps to keep them lubricated. This can reduce joint pain and improve mobility, particularly in individuals with osteoarthritis.

What’s It Like?

Remember the POM Wonderful pomegranate juice? This one is like a thicker version of that! It tastes good – like berries. I do think the texture is a bit thicker than I’d prefer, but it doesn’t taste bad so I’m fine with it! Take a shot a day.

OLIVE MUSH

This is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% olive leaf/hydroxytyrosol, organic cacao, mediterranean herbs and functional mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga, Lion‘s Mane, Cordyceps).

An alternative to your morning coffee ritual, this natural product is a refreshing and invigorating way to start your day. Crafted from carefully selected ingredients, it provides a gentle boost of energy and a rich, satisfying flavor. With its smooth and aromatic profile, it‘s the perfect choice for those seeking a natural and wholesome morning beverage. Without caffeine found in coffee, you get energy, focus and immune support without the jitters, crash or poor sleep.

It has a mild chai-like flavor to it. Can be enjoyed warm or cold and is best when it’s made with a milk of choice and a touch of sweetener. Can also be added to your morning smoothie.

I also have not tried the mush – because I’m a coffee girl! But if you’re a decaf lover, give it a try!
