The olive oil is obtained from the fruit of the tree, native to the Mediterranean region. Throughout history, olive oil was the most important vegetable oil. Italy, Spain, Greece and France produce the finest quality olive oil. As a folk remedy, the leaves were often used to lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The first pressing of the finest selected olives is called extra virgin olive oil, which is considered top grade. Olive oil is calming and emollient and is effective for burns, sprains, bruises, insect bites, and itchy skin. The oil is mildly astringent and antiseptic. Our organic, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that are great for skin. It has nutrients like Vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as polyphenols and phytosterols that protect and repair skin cells. It also contains squalene, a natural moisturizer found in humans, animals, and plants, which keeps skin hydrated and helps control oil production. Olive Oil has chlorophyll too, which helps heal skin conditions and reduces signs of aging. It's a fantastic oil for keeping your skin healthy and youthful-looking. Olive trees begin to produce fruit after 15 years and after that continue producing for hundreds of years, contrary to popular belief black and green olives come from the same trees, the fruit turns from green to black as they ripen. Olive oil can be use alone or used at 10-25% of a blend along with sunflower oil. |
