Olivella: Bringing the benefits of the Mediterranean diet to your skin
Olivella is exclusively available at Chelleon in the UK
Is there anything that olive oil can’t do? With recent headlines focusing on its proven health benefits, the rewards you’ll reap from consuming just over one tablespoon per day, and the benefits of following a Mediterranean diet for longevity, it’s no wonder olive oil has gained a reputation as a nutritional powerhouse.
But have you heard of the (aptly dubbed) Mediterranean Diet For Your Skin? After all, the skin is the largest organ in the human body, so it’s high time that we took the health benefits of our skincare products as seriously as the nutrition on our plates.
Curious to see how you can apply some olive oil love to your skin? Meet – Olivella.
About Olivella
As the ‘pioneers of the Mediterranean diet for your skin’, Olivella focus their formulas around one-star ingredient: ultra-purified virgin olive oil.
Olive oil has been used topically for centuries, treasured for its moisturising, nourishing, and protecting properties – and now, thanks to modern science, we know why.
The composition of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids found in olive oil are very similar to the lipids of our cells. This allows Olivella’s innovative Ultra Purified Virgin Olive Oil base to adapt perfectly to the hydrolipidic layer of all skin types – making it suitable for even the most delicate areas.
Olive oil also boasts impressive age-defying properties, from providing antioxidant protection and nourishing vitamins to softening, moisturising, and soothing the skin.
Olivella’s Skincare Philosophy
Why should we pay attention to olive oil in skincare?
The short answer? Because it really works. The Mediterranean diet has been widely studied from a nutritional perspective, but (so far) the beauty industry hasn’t quite caught up.
Combining cutting-edge innovation with tradition, Olivella has put the benefits of olive oil and its precious compounds (phenolic compounds and triterpenes) firmly in the spotlight. Each and every product developed by Olivella is meticulously researched and supported by science while embracing the natural ingredients and sustainability that is a core focus of the brand.
Three key benefits of olive oil for skin:
- Helps to heal acne. Olive oil can aid in skin exfoliation and help to de-clog pores.
- Minimise stretch marks. The abundant vitamins A & E, along with phytosterols and polyphenols in olive oil, improve collagen production and boost elasticity.
- Anti-ageing properties. Polyphenols and oleic acid help to keep skin looking healthy and youthful.
Olive oil is vitamin-rich
As olive oil is packed full of essential vitamins such as E and A, you’re basically giving your skin a nutrient boost every time you apply it. And for that glow? The beta carotene in olive oil can help to stimulate new cell growth, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Anti-ageing effects, naturally
Olive oil contains oleic acid and polyphenols – components that work together synergistically to help refine skin texture and tone. As we age, our skin can also become dry. Olive oil’s nourishing and moisturising properties provide skin-smoothing, wrinkle-minimising benefits that can restore a healthy, glowing complexion.
Promotes skin health and radiance
The antioxidants in olive oil can help to protect skin from free radicals, which, if left unchecked, can cause damage to the skin.
Who is Olivella for?
All skin types can benefit from Olivella. Olive oil is a natural ingredient that is suitable for any skin type, from babies to older adults with even the most sensitive skin. Olive oil is also hypoallergenic, which means there’s no need to worry about skin reactions.
