We live in a region where olive trees and olive oil are simply part of our lives. An olive culture that dates back thousands of years and idolizes the tree for food, medicine and well-being. Present ‘rediscovered’ properties make it a sought after ingredient for skin care products.

Olive oil contains superior cosmetology qualities. It’s close to the skin’s natural oil in chemical structure therefore ideal as a moisturiser. It’s rich in vitamin E, A, K, polyphenols, squalene phytosterols and other valuable nutrients.

Polyphenols and phytosterols function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. Hydroxytyrosol, a rare and significant polyphenol actually helps skin cells regenerate and protects against free radical damage. As we age, inflammatory processes increase in the body which cause deterioration, tissue damage and wrinkling.

Vitamin E and vitamin A act as anti-aging compounds by reducing wrinkles and maintaining skin elasticity through collagen production. These antioxidants also protect against ultraviolet light and free radicals.

Olive based squalene guards the skin from external elements by forming a very thin layer on the skin. It’s a vital anti-ageing and rejuvenating compound with emollient and anti-inflammatory properties. It preserves cell moisture and shields from environmental toxins, free radicals and UV
