                  A green to yellowish green transparent oil with a typical, fruity olive oil aroma made by cold pressing the fruits of the olive tree. The oil can solidify at low temperatures and can be brought back to liquid state again just by gentle warming.

                  HOW TO USE IT

                  Skin Care
                  • Olive Oil is one of the first choices of oils to use on feet and hands, or anywhere where the skin may be rough or chapped like the knees and elbows. It gives excellent protection from harsh weather and water.
                  • It is an excellent emollient that nourishes and protects the skin. Olive Oil is extremely rich in Omega 9 and as it also contains naturally occurring Squalane, this makes the oil spread easier on the skin leaving it feeling soft and moisturised. Squalane has a very similar chemical makeup to sebum which is our skin’s own natural moisturiser and is a great alternative to synthetic silcons. It helps to reduce the appearance of aging, such as premature wrinkles and fine lines.
                  • Olive Oil has good anti inflammatory properties that help to reduce skin irritations and itchiness.
                  • In massage blends and body lotions, it gives excellent lubrication and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Combine with other oils to provide a wider range of essential fatty acids.
                  • A favourite oil for soap makers. As the sole oil used, it makes a very nourishing soap called Castile soap however it is also excellent when blended with other oils.

                  Hair Care

                  • Olive Oil is great for nourishing very dry and damaged hair as well as conditioning a dry or irritated scalp. This also reduces the incidence of dandruff. This all encourages the hair to grow stronger and be more flexible and less prone to breakage. Best combined with other less greasy oils such as White Poppy Seed Oil and Tomato Seed Oil.

                  Historical Information
                  Olive trees are native to the Mediterranean area and archaeological evidence shows that amphorae (jars for storing olive oil) have been dated at 3,500 BC.
                  Used extensively by the Ancient Greeks and Romans in cooking, it was also used in cleansing and bathing rituals. The body would be massaged with olive oil and then a blunt edged knife called a strigil would be used to scrape the skin. This removed the excess olive oil as well as dirt and grime from the body.
