THE STORY OF OLIVE OIL
Olive Oil: The Nourishing Botanical Emollient for Soft, Healthy & Radiant Skin
Olive Oil is a rich, nourishing natural emollient extracted from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea).
Packed with fatty acids, Vitamin E, squalene, and antioxidants, it deeply moisturizes, softens, and protects skin and hair.
Used widely in creams, lotions, hair oils, soaps, balms, and massage blends, Olive Oil is a staple of natural and clean-beauty formulations.
Cold-Pressed from Mediterranean Olives for Pure, Nutrient-Rich Quality
Cosmetic-grade Olive Oil is produced through:
• Washing & crushing fresh olives
• Cold-press extraction to protect nutrients

• Optional refining depending on grade
This method preserves beneficial compounds like oleic acid, phenols, and Vitamin E, ensuring high purity and skin-friendly performance.
