Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is widely regarded for its beneficial properties in natural skincare routines. It functions as a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture from the environment, making it especially effective for hydrating and soothing dry skin. This particular Olive Oil is certified organic under USDA-NOP standards, ensuring it is free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. It is rich in Oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid known for its nourishing and anti-inflammatory properties. On the comedogenic scale, which measures the likelihood of clogging pores, this olive oil has a rating of 2 out of 5, indicating a moderately low risk of causing acne or breakouts. While olive oil is commonly consumed as a dietary fat, our product is specially packaged in amber glass bottles of up to 16 ounces for cosmetic applications and for individuals interested in creating their own herbal infusions or skincare formulations. This versatility makes it a popular choice among both skincare enthusiasts and herbalists seeking natural, nourishing oils for their preparations.
