Olive Oil

Herbology Olive Oil is 100% pure, extra virgin, cold-pressed Olea europaea oil — extracted from premium olives at first press, preserving the full spectrum of its natural oleic acid, polyphenols, squalene, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K that distinguish genuine extra virgin olive oil from refined alternatives. One of the oldest and most extensively used botanical oils in human history — with documented use in skin and hair care dating back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome — Olive Oil remains one of the most comprehensively nourishing and scientifically validated natural oils available for topical beauty and wellness use.

Its defining fatty acid is oleic acid (~70–80%) — a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid with exceptional skin-penetrating ability that delivers deep, lasting moisturization to dry, rough, and damaged skin. Its natural squalene content — a lipid that is also produced by human sebaceous glands — makes it particularly biocompatible with skin, supporting barrier repair and moisture retention. Its polyphenol antioxidants (including hydroxytyrosol, one of the most potent natural antioxidants known) protect skin from oxidative damage and support a healthier, more resilient complexion over time. On hair, its oleic acid content penetrates the hair shaft for deep conditioning, reduces protein loss, and adds a natural, healthy shine. A timeless, multi-purpose botanical oil with millennia of proven use and modern science behind it.

How to Use

• Body moisturizer: Apply to dry skin areas after bathing while skin is still slightly damp for maximum absorption. Ideal for very dry areas — elbows, knees, heels, and hands.
• Hair mask: Apply generously to hair and scalp, massage in, leave for 30–60 minutes or overnight, then wash out with shampoo. Use weekly for deep conditioning.
• Scalp massage: Warm a small amount between palms and massage into scalp for 5–10 minutes to nourish follicles and improve circulation.
• Skin repair: Apply to dry, cracked, or damaged skin areas and massage gently. Use consistently for best results.
• Massage: Use alone or blend with lighter carrier oils (sweet almond or grapeseed) to reduce viscosity for a more comfortable massage experience.
• Tip: Extra Virgin Olive Oil is richer and more viscous than refined olive oil — it is best suited for body, hair, and targeted skin treatments rather than daily facial use for most skin types. For facial use, blend with a lighter oil like jojoba or grapeseed for a more wearable texture.
