What Is Olea Europaea Oil Unsaponifiables?
Olea Europaea Oil Unsaponifiables is the concentrated non-fatty fraction of olive oil, rich in squalene, phytosterols, and vitamin E. This active portion provides enhanced skin benefits compared to whole olive oil.
The unsaponifiable fraction offers excellent moisturising, antioxidant, and skin-repairing properties, making it valuable in anti-ageing and barrier-repair formulations.
