Escentia Olive Oil - Extra Virgin Cold Pressed is a cold pressed plant oil from Olea europaea , recommended for cosmetic use only. It has a rich, emollient skin feel and is useful in body oils, massage blends, cleansing oils, nail and cuticle oils, balms and richer DIY skincare products. This is a raw cosmetic oil rather than a finished skincare product or food-use oil.

♡ Why we love it: Olive oil is a classic plant oil in natural body care. It is simple, versatile and easy to work with, bringing a richer traditional oil feel to deeply emollient routines and DIY formulations.

OLIVE OIL

Oh! this olive oil is good for my natural hair. it makes it shiny and soft and easily manageable to comb.
I also added some to my body lotion which makes it rich and creamy. I also mix it with lemon juice to clean my nails and also makes them strong.

Thank you

Hello Margi! While it's only certified for cosmetic use, this is a food-safe, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. We do have food-grade organic olive oils as well: https://essentiallynatural.co.za/products/crede-extra-virgin-olive-oil

I tried using olive oil for the first time to moisturise my skin and love it. I spray it onto my skin using a spray bottle and then, rub it in. The oil absorbs quickly and my skin feels soft.

Quality packaging and oil

Loved this Olive Oil. I use it for my hair and it leaves my hair soft and not too oily.

And you get a mini bath salt pack as a surprise gift. Loved the small extra touch.
