Olive oil is rich in squalene (transparent, colorless and odorless oil) which naturally deeply moisturizes the skin and has antioxidant effects. It contains vitamins A and E, polyphenols, very effective antioxidants that protect the skin from aging by facilitating the elimination of toxins from the body. Olive oil is popular in the beauty industry where it is the base for many quality products. The properties of olive oil allow mixing with other oils (sesame, flaxseed, coconut). A combination of a good carrier oil is created in which various essential oils are then added according to the needs of the individual. This is important for people who want to feel the benefits of olive oil on the skin but are bothered by the specific smell of the oil (especially pronounced with the highest quality oil due to the cold pressing process).
