Olive oil is a common ingredient in the kitchen, but it also serves as an excellent natural moisturizer for skin. It is packed with nourishing fatty acids, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid, along with antioxidant polyphenols, tocopherols, carotenoids, and Squalene, which is a skin-identical emollient. It is great for dry skin, but not as beneficial for those with acne-prone or damaged skin. It is derived from the ripe fruit of the Olea europaea tree.
