Olive Extract
The idea of looking for new actives in the olive tree comes from the observation that the olive tree is not only one of the world’s most ancient plants, but it is also very unlikely to be attacked by diseases: long living, to the point of being considered immortal by ancient people, it is protected by substances contained in many parts of the plant, but mostly in the leaves.
Clinical studies have demonstrated the excellent anti-oxidative action of olive leaf extract on skin cells of human volunteers.
Olive leaf extract eliminates the formation of free-radicals, which have the dangerous ability to alter DNA (causing cellular damage). Olive leaf extract is therefore able to strongly reduce the action of UV rays on the skin, which is the main cause of skin aging and wrinkles.
Further studies on human volunteers treated with a gel containing 0.5% olive leaf extract for 45 days showed a remarkable increase in skin hydration (10.5%) and in skin elasticity (11.9%) on the treated areas, cheek and forehead.
When used internally, it is effective against viruses, antibiotic resistant bacteria, yeast strains and parasites.

Shelf Life of Miessence products (Best Before Date)
International cosmetic regulations require a Best Before Date to be indicated on products with a shelf life of 30 months or less. The Best Before Date is the date the product can continue to fulfil it's function, and be safe for the consumer, if stored under the recommended conditions.
Please be assured we take product stability and shelf life claims very seriously. To that end, we make substantial investments in assessing product stability using industry standard protocols such as microbiological challenge testing and accelerated stability testing.
It is so important to us that you use our products at their most potent and fresh, we take extra measures that are above industry standard to ensure product safety and quality. These include assessment of the potential for microbial contamination, extensive quality control testing of raw materials and finished products, rigorous examination of packaging integrity, constant review of analytical data from suppliers, and ensuring our manufacturing facilities minimise exposure to contaminants. We combine these investigations with an understanding consumer habits and practices, and, importantly, our experience with such unique formulations.
Based on our analyses, we are pleased to announce that unless otherwise specified, Miessence products now have a 30 month shelf life. One exception, for example, is the Pure Black Mascara, which has a 12 month shelf life.
We recommend most Miessence products be used within 6 months of opening, which will ensure you are using products at their most potent and beneficial to your skin, hair and body.
