Olive Oil is the oil obtained from the fruit of the Olive Tree (Olea Europaea). It is high in oleic acid and is a good skin cell regenerator. It is traditionally included in soap, cream, balm, body butter, herbal infusion and hair care formulations. Olive Oil attracts external moisture to the skin and still permits the skin to properly release sweat, shed dead skin and release sebum. It is a good oil for inclusion in massage oil formulations and it helps to soothe inflamed skin. Olive oil is a favourite all-purpose oil for dry and irritated skin, as well as in conditioning treatments for darker hair.
