Ingredient Spotlight: Nature’s Liquid Gold
Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
At True Naturals, we believe nature provides the best ingredients, and one of our favorites is Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. It has been a staple in Mediterranean diets for centuries and is now a rising star in the world of beauty and skincare. It’s said that Cleopatra even used it to keep her skin beautifully soft and radiant! Famously known as “liquid gold,” olive oil offers a myriad of benefits, making it an essential base for many of our products. Here’s a closer look at why we adore it so much!
Deep Moisturization
Olive oil is a powerful natural moisturizer. Rich in antioxidants, healthy lipids and vitamin E, it penetrates deeply into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and helping to maintain a youthful glow. Unlike many synthetic moisturizers, olive oil works to nourish the skin from within, leaving it soft, smooth, and radiant.
While we love any of our Body Butters for a boost of hydration, Nourished Earth is a great go-to with its delicate scent and soothing chamomile-infused olive oil base.
Easy On All Skin Types
Olive oil is both highly anti-inflammatory and non-comedogenic. This means it won’t clog pores, making it safe to use on oily and acne-prone skin. Thanks to anti-inflammatory compounds like oleocanthal, it is also ideal for soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. Whether you have sensitive skin, eczema, or oil-prone pores, olive oil will benefit all skin types.
Test out our Happy Face Toner followed by Soothing Face Salve and release your inner glow.
Gentle Cleanser
Producing a creamy lather rather than a bubbly one, olive oil soap is efficient at cleansing without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Olive oil is also an effective and gentle makeup remover, dissolving even the most stubborn waterproof mascara and long-lasting lipstick while leaving the skin feeling nourished and conditioned.
Try SUDSY EARTH Face and Body Wash and experience the difference.
Pro Tip: for even easier removal of strongly waterproof makeup, massage with Happy Face Soothing Face Salve, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and rinse in the shower!
Natural Exfoliant
When combined with ingredients like Epsom salt in our Body Scrub and Bath Soaks, olive oil acts as a natural exfoliant to slough away dead skin cells, leaving the skin smoother and more even-toned. The oil's moisturizing properties ensure that the skin remains hydrated even after exfoliation, for a smooth and silky finish.
Non-Toxic and Biodegradable Home Cleaning
Not only a star in our skincare products, Olive Oil is also a key ingredient in our COMPLETE All-Purpose Cleaner! It forms the base of our hand-mixed castile soap, and is powerful, biodegradable, and non-toxic. Olive oil easily removes stubborn sticky residues and wipes away streaks, leaving nothing but sparkling surfaces.
