Olive oil, certified organic
Organic, cold‑pressed olive oil is extracted from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea), a staple of Mediterranean agriculture for millennia. Renowned for its rich, fruity aroma and deep, nourishing properties, olive oil has been an essential component in both culinary and cosmetic traditions. Today, it is celebrated for its versatility and is a popular ingredient in natural skincare and haircare formulations.
Skincare Uses
Nourishing and moisturizing: Olive oil is often used in skincare products to help moisturise and nourish the skin, thanks to its high content of antioxidants, healthy fatty acids, and vitamins.
Emollient properties: Its naturally emollient texture is said to help soften and smooth the skin, contributing to a supple feel that is appreciated by various skin types, including sensitive skin.
Gentle and versatile: Valued for its mild nature, organic cold‑pressed olive oil is frequently incorporated into creams, lotions, and serums to support a balanced skincare routine.
Haircare Uses
Conditioning and shine: Olive oil is commonly included in haircare formulations to help condition hair and impart a natural shine, making it a favoured ingredient for enhancing overall hair manageability.
Scalp nourishment: Its nutrient‑rich profile may be beneficial for scalp care, and it is often used in products designed to promote a balanced scalp environment.
Additional Uses
Carrier oil: Due to its smooth, stable texture, olive oil is widely used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy and natural cosmetic formulations, helping to blend and deliver active ingredients effectively.
Versatile ingredient: With its long history of use and compatibility with a variety of other botanicals, organic cold‑pressed olive oil is a popular choice in formulations that aim to offer a naturally enriched sensory experience.
