Olive oil has a long history of being used as a home remedy for skincare as it used to be applied directly onto the skin or the hair as a natural moisturizer. Nowadays, it has become the basic ingredient for many Greek cosmetic products that emphasize the importance of natural care and the use of traditional herbal remedies.

Soap

Pure olive oil soap has the ability to clean the skin without interfering with its natural PH thus rendering it suitable for people with very sensitive or dry skin. It allows the skin to breathe and does not clog the pores like many commercial soaps and cleansers tend to do.

Shower & Creams

Many Greek cosmetics companies use olive oil as a key ingredient in their products.

Bursting in nutrients – triglycerides with a high oleic acid content, vitamins & anti-oxidants – olive oil helps in the capturing of free radicals, delaying the skin cells ageing, and providing long lasting moisture.

Sponges

Sea sponges are a more natural and healthier alternative to all the synthetic sponges people nowadays are used to washing themselves with. They are softer, clean better and they wash out more quickly and easily than their artificial counterparts. Sea sponges are also highly absorbent, create a luxurious and rich lather and are suitable for the most sensitive of skins.
