Olive oil is a natural oil that's extracted from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. It has been used for centuries in various cultures for both culinary and medicinal purposes. In skincare, olive oil is commonly used in creams and lotions and as well as natural and organic formulas. It's valued for its ability to hydrate and soothe irritated skin and improve overall skin texture. Olive oil is used in facial cleansers and makeup removers because of its ability to dissolve makeup and impurities without stripping skin of its natural oils.
