Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Anti-Aging
Addresses signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness
Moisturizing
Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day
Fights Acne
Traditional Use
Used for over 5,000 years in Mediterranean cultures as a cosmetic and medicinal oil. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans applied olive oil directly to skin and used it as a base for perfumed preparations.
