What Is Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil?
Olea europaea (olive) fruit oil is an emollient plant oil with benefits similar to several other non-fragrant plant oils. It is beneficial for dry skin because of its fatty acid content, some of which comes from the emollient squalene. Olea europaea (olive) fruit oil contains essential fatty acids dry skin needs, including oleic, palmitic, and linoleic acids. It also contains phenolic compounds that provide antioxidant benefit. A small number of animal tests show that topically applied olive oil can protect against environmental damage.
