Oleic acid penetrates intercellular spaces, filling lipid gaps in dry, damaged skin and strengthening the cuticle’s protective layer in hair. This restores softness, reduces TEWL, and shields strands from mechanical stress.

Olive oil’s natural squalene mimics skin’s own sebum, merging seamlessly into the lipid barrier. It prevents oxidation of surface lipids, smooths fine lines, enhances suppleness, and restores a youthful sheen to both skin and hair.

A rare phenolic antioxidant in olive oil neutralizes deep oxidative radicals created by UV, pollution, and heat. This prevents collagen breakdown, slows scalp aging, and reduces hair fibre fragility.

Oleuropein and polyphenols reduces pro-inflammatory triggers, bringing comfort to sensitive, reactive, or redness-prone skin. On the scalp, it helps calm irritation, reduce flakiness, and restore balanced microbiome activity.

Olive oil’s rich emollient profile forms a flexible occlusive layer that minimises water loss and smoothens hair cuticles. Skin stays dewy and plump longer, while hair appears glossier, detangled, and shielded from frizz-causing humidity.
