Olive Oil

Description

Harness the time-honored, conditioning power of Olive Oil, pressed from the fruit of Olea europaea — the Mediterranean’s founding beauty oil and the basis of the world’s oldest handmade soaps (Castile, Aleppo, Marseille) — for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® handmade soap, skincare, haircare, and cosmetics. Dominated by oleic acid, extra-virgin olive oil also carries squalene, vitamin E, and antioxidant polyphenols such as hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein. Because research shows neat oleic-rich oil can weaken a compromised barrier, ORY^® blends olive oil with lighter, linoleic-rich oils for leave-on skincare. In your handmade soap, it is the conditioning heart of ORY^®’s mildest bars — from 100% Castile to olive-coconut-shea blends. In your custom blended body oil, cleansing oil, balm, or cream, and as the base for rosemary, calendula, or chamomile infusions, it softens and nourishes dry and mature skin with antioxidant support. In your hair mask or pre-shampoo oil, it softens thick, coarse, and coily hair. In your cosmetics, it enriches lip and cleansing balms. Customize your cruelty-free formulation with Mediterranean heritage. Caution: Not for neat leave-on use on eczema-prone, damaged, or infant skin — ORY^® blends it with linoleic-rich oils. Heavy for oily faces and fine hair.
