Olive oil and Science

Olive oil has been used in hair cosmetics and as a skin product since a long time in several cultures. It has many benefits.

Chemical composition: The oil contains arachin, linolein, and palmitin. However, the main component is olein. It also contains sterols, carotenoids, triterpenic oils, and phenolic compounds. The virgin olive oil is a rich source of antioxidants that contains flavonoids, lignans, and secoiridoids.

Olive oil benefits for hair and skin:

1. Emollient effect – Olive oil has an emollient function by sealing the cuticle and trapping the moisture inside

2. Photo protection – Olive oil is protective against UVB due to the presence of extra virgin olive oil.

3. Antifungal effect – Olive oil has a definite inhibitory influence on the ability of the fungus Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton vanbreuseghemii to penetrate the hair. The effect may be specific or purely a result of “mechanical barrier.

4. In psoriasis – Olive oil has shown promising results when used in combination with different ingredients. A mixture of honey, olive oil, and beeswax mixture has demonstrated significant improvement in the symptoms such as redness, scaling, thickening, and pruritis. This is due to its antioxidant action and hydroxytyrosol-induced apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation.

Olive oil has been used for centuries as Skin Elixir - as natural moisturizer and protectant against harsh environmental elements. Historical records show that olive oil was used as Anti-inflammatory Agent - it was applied to reduce inflammation and relive pain, a practice still relevant today.
