Introduction to Olive Oil as a Base Oil

Ingredients: Monounsaturated fatty acids—oleic acid, along with vitamins A, B, D, E, K, and antioxidants.

Olive oil, derived from the fresh fruit of the olive tree, is cold-pressed without heat or chemical processing, preserving its natural nutrients. It is regarded as one of the most nutritious oils available, celebrated in the West as "liquid gold," the "queen of vegetable oils," and "the nectar of the Mediterranean." Beauty and nutrition experts often refer to olive oil as "edible cosmetics" or "the oil of beauty."

Benefits:

1. Promotes Blood Circulation
2. Protects the Skin
   Rich in squalene and essential fatty acids, olive oil absorbs quickly and helps maintain skin elasticity and moisture. Its high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamins E, K, A, and D, along with polyphenol antioxidants, can reduce facial wrinkles, prevent skin aging, and protect against cracked hands and feet. Additionally, olive oil can be applied to the skin to combat UV rays and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
3. Anti-Radiation
   Olive oil contains polyphenols and polysaccharides, providing protective effects against radiation.
4. Skin Care Uses

• Exfoliation: Gently massage olive oil onto your face regularly, then use a facial steamer or warm towel to cleanse. This helps remove unseen dirt and dead skin cells, nourishing the skin and enhancing its glow and elasticity. Regular use can alleviate dryness and reduce wrinkles.
• Dark Circle Treatment: Massaging the eye area with olive oil for 10 minutes each morning and evening can reduce dark circles and puffiness, making your eyes look brighter. Applying olive oil after cleansing at night can leave your skin smooth by morning, diminishing fine lines and crow’s feet.

Home Spa:
Mix olive oil with essential oils for a rejuvenating home spa treatment to combat aging.

Important Notes:
When choosing olive oil for beauty, it’s essential to select genuine extra virgin olive oil. This oil is unrefined and cold-pressed, which preserves its nutrients. Unfortunately, there are currently no specific standards for olive oil in the domestic market, making it challenging to identify true extra virgin olive oil.
