Cosmetic properties
of olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil is an excellent ally of beauty, thanks to its remarkable moisturizing, protective and emollient properties. It keeps the skin supple thanks to natural antioxidants such as polyphenols and vitamin E, reducing many imperfections such as wrinkles and stretch marks.
It counteracts the aging of cells caused by free radicals, atmospheric agents and UV rays, to which our epidermis is often subjected.
Olive oil in history
Olive oil is the symbol of longevity and beauty in Mediterranean culture, and has always been considered a fundamental element in the cult of beauty and natural cosmetics.
Used as a cosmetic by the most ancient civilizations, the Egyptians used preparations made of olive oil and essences on the body, hair and face to enhance beauty, the Greek athletes sprinkled it on the body to prepare for sports, and the Romans used it to anoint their skin after thermal baths.
