What is Q10 in moisturizing lotion?

I got a sample of an olive oil moisturizing lotion that seems good. What is the advantage of olive oil? The stuff says it has Q10 in it. What is that? What is it good for?

    Q10 is short for CoEnzymeQ1O. A CoEnzyme is an organic molecule which helps transport chemicals throughout enzymes. In this Case, CoEnzymeQ10 is essentially a vitamin. This molecule is found to be very valuable, as it is shown to help heart disease, breast cancer, and gum disease. It also is a very strong anti-oxidant, and is frequently used as a supplement in multi-vitamins, and in lotions, moisturizers, and other creams. CoEnzymeQ10 studies today show that it has many new health benefits. CoEnzymeQ10 is produced less in the body as you grow older, and therefore, it is a widely popular supplement today.

    Olive oil totally moisturizes your skin. I think the Q10 is some enzyme that gives anti-aging properties.
