Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil

Origin

A natural plant-derived oil obtained from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europaea, family Oleaceae).

Celebrated since antiquity as a symbol of purity and vitality, olive oil embodies the harmony between nature and skin through its gentle composition and exceptional stability.

Skincare Benefits

The primary constituent of olive oil is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid with low unsaturation that contributes to its oxidative stability and long-lasting freshness.

By forming an occlusive barrier, olive fruit oil effectively reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), helping the skin maintain deep hydration and suppleness.

Trace compounds such as vitamin E (tocopherol), β-carotene, and polyphenols enhance its antioxidant profile, protecting the skin from oxidative stress while imparting smoothness, elasticity, and a natural radiance.

When saponified with potassium hydroxide, olive oil produces potassium olivate (olive fatty acid K) — a cleansing ingredient with excellent foaming stability and selective cleansing properties.

Tests on sebum solubility confirm that it removes oxidized sebum and impurities while preserving the skin’s essential intercellular lipids, ensuring the skin remains clean yet comfortably moisturized.
