Olive Oil Pomace (TX 8024) is the unsung workhorse of the olive oil family — extracted from the remaining pulp, skin, and seeds after the first cold press, it carries much of the same nourishing character as extra virgin olive oil but with a slightly heavier body and a significantly more accessible price point. For formulators working at scale, it’s the smart choice that doesn’t compromise on performance.
Rich in oleic acid, essential fatty acids, and natural antioxidants, it sinks into skin with a satisfying warmth, softening and conditioning as it goes. In haircare, it coats each strand with a protective layer that adds shine, reduces breakage, and leaves hair feeling genuinely nourished. And in the soap pot, it contributes a conditioning lather that makes bars feel luxurious long after the last rinse.
