The ancient Greeks were among the first to recognize the beauty benefits of pure extra-virgin olive oil. Originating from the Mediterranean basin, olive oil is produced by crushing and pressing olives. The precious oil that is exacted is comprised primarily of esters, which contain the powerful nutrients and vitamins that provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Olive esters can be used on all skin types – promoting healing and moisturization in dry, parched skin, normalizing oily and combination skin, and gently cleansing and removing impurities on even sensitive skin.  Since olive esters are safe for use around the eyes, they provide an ideal natural beauty boost to condition, treat and protect lashes.
