Clearly we are fans of the almighty Olive!
We use Olive Oil in all of the formulas at Olive + M because we know this tiny fruit is a powerhouse of skin-loving properties! Olives contain hydroxytyrosol one of the most potent antioxidants on the planet. They also contain squalene that deeply soothes and moisturizes without leaving an oily finish. It helps slow down transepidermal water loss and boosts skin moisture, making the complexion look more radiant and nourished, yes, please!
The Tunisian olive oil is most definitely the nectar of the Gods Our trees are dry-farmed, which is to say that there is no irrigation system. The only water these trees receive is a gift from Mother Nature herself; rainwater that falls from the sky. Each tree has a 50 foot cleared radius so the root system of the olive tree can accept all the nourishing rain that falls upon its territory. This olive oil is organic before organic even had to be a concern! In the thousands of years that our trees have been flourishing in the Tunisian soil they have never be treated with any kind of pesticide, period! The farmers have kept it old school. They didn’t mess with Mother Nature’s formula. At Olive + M we are incredibly thankful, grateful, supportive, and respectful of these farmers and their gift to us!
