Premium Therapeutic Collection

Extra Virgin Olive Oil Soap

Benefits & Usage

  • Skin barrier and collagen production: Polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil (hydroxytyrosol, oleocanthal) stimulate fibroblast proliferation, migration and fibronectin/α-actin production, contributing to tissue regeneration.
  • Anti-inflammatory & wound healing: Topical application reduces inflammation and accelerates wound closure, with particularly positive effects observed in radiodermatitis and chronic wounds.
  • Moisturizing and anti-aging effects: Antioxidants improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Usage recommendation: Patch test recommended for atopic or acne-prone skin.
