Exploring what’s Inside Olive Oil

Olive oil or ‘liquid gold’, as coined by the ancients, is used since centuries by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans because of its skin moisturizing and anti-ageing properties.

A fundamental ingredient in most organic skin care and beauty products, olive oil is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E and various other antioxidants that make it a perfect moisturizer, cleanser and all in one skin nourishment therapy for daily use on all types of skin.

The purest form of olive oil is extra virgin olive oil and is brimming with natural goodness and it is in this form that it is added to a number of skin and beauty products.

Another main advantage of using olive oil is that it penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin without clogging the pores to prevent excessive oiliness and breakouts. Its molecular structure is closest to skin’s natural oil than any other oil, which means it can keep skin toned and firmed and even encourage healthy regeneration of skin tissue.

Providing deep nourishment and thorough hydration, olive oil is highly beneficial for dry skin or baby skin and is also readily used in therapy for stretch marks and blemishes.

Antioxidants, anti inflammatory agents and essential fats in olive oil heal damaged skin and make it more smooth and replenished from the inside. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles and maintains skin elasticity and glow.

Olive oil also contains Squalene which is a natural emollient. Squalene protects the skin against harsh weather, UV radiation and sun damage and also makes sin more supple and smooth without any unpleasant oiliness.
