Olive Oil
Olea europaea
Ancient Nourishment for Skin, Hair & Holistic Wellness
Cold-pressed from ripe olives, this golden-green oil is a cornerstone of Mediterranean beauty rituals, rich in oleic acid, squalene, and polyphenols like hydroxytyrosol. Renowned for its deeply moisturizing and antioxidant properties, it strengthens the skin barrier, soothes irritation, and combats oxidative stress. Ideal for dry, mature, or sensitive skin, it also conditions hair, tames frizz, and adds shine. Versatile in both skincare and culinary creations, its gentle nature makes it a staple in cleansers, balms, and DIY remedies. Comedogenic rating 2/5—best for dry skin but patch-test if acne-prone. Shelf-stable for 12–18 months; store in a cool, dark place.
Lyddies Botanics’ Note: Ethically sourced from organic, family-run groves in Crete, Greece, where olives are hand-harvested and cold-pressed within hours to preserve nutrients. Unrefined and 100% extra virgin, honoring timeless traditions of purity. 🌿
