OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL

Olive oil

Olive oil is ‘liquid gold’ for skin and haircare. The oil is rich in oleic acid, which transforms dry skin, intensively restoring its natural lipid film.

It contains oleocanthal, a substance with an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. It is used in the treatment of skin injuries and diseases such as dermatitis, rosacea, seborrhea and thermal burns.

Olive oil’s composition is rich in polyphenols, which have a regenerative effect and slow down the ageing process of skin and hair.

Vitamins A, E, D, and K in the oil protect the skin against aggressive environmental factors, such as cold, wind, and dry air.

Despite the oil’s somewhat greasy texture, it is well absorbed, does not cause irritation, and does not block pores. Olive oil is not an allergen, so it is suitable for people with sensitive skin. However, it should be used carefully on oily skin.
