Olive Oil - 100ml
Olive Oil — 100ml
Olea europaea — Cold-pressed from olives sourced in Spain.
A timeless skincare classic — Olive Oil is rich in antioxidants, oleic acid, and natural squalene, offering excellent moisturising, antibacterial, and skin-conditioning properties that have been valued for centuries. Used in skincare, massage, and natural medicine across the Mediterranean for millennia, it is one of the most studied and trusted plant oils in the world. Its rich, slightly heavy texture and characteristic scent make it best suited to body care and hair formulations, or blended with lighter oils for skin use.
Skin Profile
Medium to rich weight. Best suited to dry, mature, and normal skin. Absorbs moderately with a rich, slightly occlusive finish. Its characteristic olive scent will influence blends — best used in formulations where a neutral scent is not required.
Key Constituents
