Harvesting our own farm-grown olives is just the first step of our truly unique production process. Our small-batch production ensures that our skincare is always fresh and always effective, rather than producing a large supply that sits in a warehouse. Our skincare is meticulously formulated to provide just the right amount of potent, plant-based materials for our skin.
We never refine our extra virgin olive oil and we make it a point to use non-refined oils in our skincare. Because our extra virgin olive oil isn’t filtered, it’s richer in antioxidants like tocopherol (vitamin E) and polyphenols, as well as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and omega 6 & omega 9 fatty acids – as it should be!
We use every part of the olive in our skincare – not just the oil. From the leaves to the pits, our R&D team researched and developed our proprietary olive fruit extract from the olive “black water,” and olive leaf extract. These antioxidant-rich extracts aren’t only effective at reducing inflammation and preventing the signs of aging, they also sustainably utilize what is normally discarded in the olive industry.
We are proudly fully natural and we never use ingredients that are harmful for our skin or for the environment. We make it our priority to source our non-olive derived ingredients from farms around the world, in pursuit of unique botanicals that deliver unparalleled freshness and potency. Knowing the source of our key components means that we can vouch for the quality of our skincare and its contents. That means that our skincare is free of artificial scents and colors, SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, and mineral oils, among many other known irritants and problematic additives. As part of our holistic vision, we are cruelty-free and never test on our animal friends.
Developing fully natural olive oil skincare is not easy. There’s a reason why traditional cosmetics companies use harsh preservatives, synthetic scents, and other non-natural materials; they are cheaper and easier to produce, and they have a longer shelf life. But we know that these synthetics aren’t actually healthy for our skin or for the environment – and can even be cancerous. We choose to develop skincare the right way.
