An organic optoelectronic component is disclosed. In an embodiment, an organic optoelectronic component includes an organic layer sequence having an active layer for emitting or absorbing electromagnetic radiation, a thin-film encapsulation on the organic layer sequence, an absorption layer on the organic layer sequence, the absorption layer configured to absorb and store a substance which is harmful to the organic layer sequence and a transport layer directly adjacent to the absorption layer, the transport layer configured to transport the harmful substance, wherein the transport layer has a greater diffusion coefficient and/or a higher transmission rate for the harmful substance than the absorption layer, and wherein the absorption layer has a higher storage capacity for the harmful substance than the transport layer so that the harmful substance, upon contact with the transport layer, is distributed within the transport layer and is subsequently absorbed by the absorption layer.
