From this sacred tree, we use the highest quality of its fruit juice, which is the Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is obtained exclusively by cold extraction of selected olives from organic farming olive groves.
The women in Minoan Crete were the first to use olive oil in beauty products and the ancient Greek poet Homer called it “liquid gold’’. Since Roman times and more recently in the 13th Century, it has been coveted for its moisturising properties and therapeutic benefits.
Due to its unique composition, this specialty quality of olive oil, provides luxurious sensory characteristics with a superb skin feel. It is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, known for their antiinflammatory function and skin protection. It also contains squalene and a large amount of vitamins, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Vitamin K. They are very well known for their prominent antioxidant potential against free radicals and regenerate skin slowing down the ageing process.
Hydroxytyrosol is another important compound of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a powerful antioxidant, which is not found in other oils, making it a unique and precious plant oil.
