INCI Name

Cold Pressed, Extra Virgin Oil, which is certified Organic. A fatty to half-fatty oil. Keeps for 3-4 years.

Skin Care

Good for mature or dry skin. Blend it with thistle or sunflower if it feels too fatty. An important constituent of olive oil is Squalane, which is absorbed quickly by the skin. It is well proven that squalane increases the spreadability of vegetable oils and fats on the skin. The substance squalene is also found in the livers of sharks that are found in deep ocean waters and studies have shown that it keeps the oils in the liver in a liquid state down to a temperature of -38°C. Olive-oil derived squalane helps to regulate sebum and very closely resembles human sebum. For use as an emollient, squalane is a traditional, natural alternative to using silicone emollients, which is an often-used chemical in products for its non-fatty skin-softening properties.

It is a classic oil for dry, chapped skin on elbows, knees, hands and feet. Used in hand creams, olive oil offers nourishing, softening and excellent protection from weather and water.

It offers excellent lubrication and a soft, smooth feeling on the skin.

Olive oil’s nourishing, softening and protecting properties are well-known but it is also an anti-inflammatory and so very valuable to use in oil blends that treat skin irritations, insect bites, sun-damaged skin, eczema, psoriasis and itchiness.

Hair Care

Olive oil is excellent for hair products treating dry hair and dry, damaged scalp or an irritated and sensitive scalp but for this purpose blend it with drier oils.

Cooking

It’s the classic cooking oil because you don’t get free fatty acids when using it. High smoke point (over 210°C/410°F), makes it good for sautιeing, pan frying, stir frying and grilling. Also excellent for baking and for salad dressings.
