Revered since antiquity. Nature’s most generous offering is embedded within olive oil. Anointing the skin of Ancient Greek athletes. Protecting the Romans against sun and sea. The touch of the olive tree in every culture represents health beauty and wellbeing. Not just taste.
Long understood by tradition, science today embodies this. Abundant in natural compounds, extra virgin olive oil is proven to nourish, protect and restore. Known once as instinct but now as fact, such unrefined oils support skin, strengthen hair and elevate daily rituals of self care.
Skin: Nature's Original Moisturiser
Pure and purposeful. Simplicity striped back to its limit. Olive oil is abundant in vitamins E and K delivering deep and enduring hydration for the skin without moisture loss. Restoration of the skin’s natural softness and resilience appears through the protective polyphenols within the oil. Quiet aggressors of ageing hidden within the everyday sun, wind and air are defended against by these nutrients'.
Absent from artificial formulation, olive oil mimics the skin’s own natural structure. Absorbed with ease, the oil nourishes from within rather than resting heavily on the skins surface. Emerging are results that leave the skin balanced, resilient and quietly luminous.
Dermatological studies continue to affirm its efficacy: it soothes dryness, calms irritation, and helps maintain the integrity of the skin barrier over time. The glow it imparts is not cosmetic, but cellular, a soft reflection of internal balance.
Hair: Nourishment in Every Strand
More than nature’s original moisturiser, olive oil has long been used to restore strength and shine to hair depleted by days in the sun, hours in saltwater and care to everyday styling. Emollient properties smooth the hair shaft, tame frizz and reduce breakage, returning softness and lustre without synthetics.
Applied to the scalp. Antioxidant protection is delivered where the impact is most profound, strengthening the foundations for healthier hair growth. Applied as a pre-wash treatment. Applied sparingly through length to ends. Olive oil revitalises what is often lost. Moisture, strength and shine. Making fatty acids and polyphenols work hard to improve texture and resilience over time.
Care that Transcends Time
In a world of complicated routines and fleeting trends, olive oil offers and return to simplicity in natures purest form. Persistent through time and cultures this oil has brought nourishment where it is most needed, to the skin, to the hair, and to daily life itself.
Olivetta craft extra virgin oils to preserve these life-giving qualities. Bottled with care, these oils serve as a quiet reminder: beauty, health and taste need not be separate pursuits. They are connected, as they always have been, through the rituals we choose to embrace.
