Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Cold Pressed) | Carrier Oil for Skin, Hair and DIY Formulations

Description

Rich, golden olive oil for DIYers and formulators who want a classic base

If you’ve ever tried to make a body butter or hair oil and found the finished product feels thin and forgets to be nourishing, the base oil is usually where it starts. Extra virgin olive oil is one of the oldest and most trusted oils in traditional skin and hair care, and it’s still a go-to for makers who want a rich, dependable foundation.

Our extra virgin olive oil is cold-pressed and unrefined. It keeps the natural golden-green colour and gentle, fruity scent of the olive, with no blending and no additives. [Origin: e.g. imported from Spain/Italy/Turkey.]

Why formulators and DIY makers choose it

• A rich, conditioning feel. It’s heavier than light oils like grapeseed or sweet almond, so it suits dry-skin balms, body butters and overnight hair treatments.
• Naturally high in oleic acid. This is what gives olive oil its cushiony, slow-absorbing feel on the skin.
• A traditional favourite. It has long been used in soap making, hair oiling and body care across many cultures.
• Easy to blend. It mixes well with other carrier oils, butters and essential oils.

Ways to use olive oil

• Hair oiling and pre-poo treatments: warm gently and apply to the lengths and ends before washing.
• Body oils and massage blends: combine with lighter oils to balance the richness.
• Body butters and balms: pair with shea, cocoa or mango butter.
• Cold process soap: a classic base oil for gentle, conditioning bars.
• Herbal infusions: a good carrier for infusing botanical powders and herbs. You’ll find plenty in our [botanical powders] collection.

Product details

Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place with the lid tightly closed. Heat and sunlight shorten the life of the oil. Do a patch test before using it in any new product.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use extra virgin olive oil in cold process soap?
Yes. It’s one of the most traditional soap oils and gives a gentle, conditioning bar. Run your recipe through a soap calculator to get the right lye amount for your batch.

Is it okay for hair oiling?
Many people use it on the lengths and ends as a pre-wash treatment. It’s rich, so start with a small amount and warm it between your palms first.

What’s the difference between extra virgin and pomace olive oil?
Extra virgin comes from the first pressing and keeps more of the olive’s natural colour and scent. Pomace oil is extracted from the leftover pulp and is usually more refined.
