nanimously acknowledged and appreciated for its exceptional taste in the preparation of foods, Olive Oil - this “liquid gold” as Homer said - also possesses numerous properties that belong in the field of body care and cosmetics.Its use in this latter field dates back to high antiquity, and its history is marked all along by a multitude of formulas and “recipes” which constitently praise its countless qualities in treatments both internal and external.

The most manifest example of this fact is without doubt evidenced by the enduring success of a household soap known as genuine “savon de Marseille” (soap from Marseille).

Thus used in conjunction with modern day cosmetic components, olive oil can now impart the benefit of all its “powers” in body care as well as bath products. In the hair care field, it makes the hair shiny and manageable. Its virtues also greatly help fighting dry skin.

Thus, the soothing, protective and hydrating properties of olive oil are called upon to play their part in serving beauty.
