Olive Oil: Comparing Formats and Packaging

Article image for Olive Oil

Choosing an olive oil for personal care starts with its current formula and labeled applications. The Olive Oil Carrier Oil in this collection is a cosmetic format; its name does not establish an extra-virgin processing grade or make it interchangeable with a kitchen oil.

The formula and its format

Our Olive Oil Carrier Oil is cold-pressed and lists vitamins A and E and fatty acids among its composition details. The personal-care bottle is distinct from a culinary olive oil. Compare the labeled application, complete formula and dispensing method rather than relying on the familiar olive name.

Use and storage

Follow the finished product’s directions and permitted applications; a cosmetic product is not a food product. For skin use, observe patch-test guidance, avoid eyes and broken skin, and stop if irritation occurs. Keep the cap closed, use clean, dry tools and avoid adding water or other ingredients. Store as directed and retain expiry information. Keep different preparations labeled rather than transferring directions between formulas.
