Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
One of the most ancient cosmetic ingredients, used for at least 6,000 years in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern skincare. Cleopatra, the ancient Greeks, and Romans all used olive oil as a primary moisturizer and beauty treatment.
