Organic Olive Oil

The olive tree is mainly cultivated in Mediterranean countries, especially in Spain, Italy and Greece. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is obtained from the pressed fruit of the olive tree without any further treatment other than mechanical filtration.

Down through the centuries, the Greeks have used olive oil for its therapeutic and cosmetics properties. It is rich in Vitamin F, which acts against the free radicals that are responsible for aging skin, and Pro-vitamin A Retinol, that tones, protects, and generally improves skin texture. Its high concentration of vitamins E and A helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and helps fight dryness and acne. It nourishes the skin and helps its regeneration.
