Olive Oil

Olive oil is a traditional Mediterranean oil obtained by cold-pressing the fruit of Olea europaea trees, prized for its rich composition of oleic acid (55-83%), squalene, and polyphenolic antioxidants like hydroxytyrosol. Extra virgin grade, the highest quality designation, is mechanically extracted without chemical refinement, preserving its characteristic golden-green color, distinctive aroma, and maximum antioxidant content. Formulators value it not only for its excellent skin-penetrating emollient properties but also for its cultural authenticity and natural antioxidant protection, making it particularly suitable for premium natural formulations and products targeting mature or dry skin.
