Cosmetics: care with the power of olive oil

For thousands of years, people have used olive oil to care for their skin and hair. In ancient Egypt, it was used to embalm mummies, and in ancient Greece, bathers would rub it in before scraping the dirt from their skin. The Romans later adopted this ritual in their thermal baths. Back then, they didn't know what we know now: that olive oil is packed with powerful antioxidants that protect, nourish, and soothe the skin.

Why olive oil is so good for your skin ?

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) contains a high concentration of polyphenols. These are antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, aggressive substances that damage skin cells and accelerate the aging process. EVOO is also rich in vitamin E, which protects the skin from sunlight and helps it recover from damage.

In addition, olive oil has natural antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it an excellent ingredient for natural care products such as soaps, creams and masks.


For body , face , hands and hair

Olive oil is versatile in its use in your daily care:

> Cleanse and moisturize.
Use a little olive oil as a gentle cleanser or as a natural body lotion. It helps soothe the skin and retain moisture. Do you have sensitive or dry skin? Then olive oil offers relief and nourishment in one.

> Facial Care:
Apply a small amount of olive oil to cleansed skin to hydrate it. This is especially effective around the eyes and on dry areas. For the entire face: use sparingly and always choose a high-quality EVOO.

> For your hair.
Do you have frizzy or damaged hair? Massage some olive oil into your ends or use it as a mask. The vitamin E in the oil nourishes your hair and helps prevent split ends.

> Nails and cuticles.
Dry cuticles? Massage them with a drop of olive oil. It softens the skin and supports nail growth.

> After showering or sunbathing,

Olive oil soothes and moisturizes red, dry, or sunburned skin. The oleocanthal helps calm the skin.
