What is Olive Oil?

Obtained from the fresh fruits of the ancient Mediterranean olive tree (Olea europaea) through cold pressing, olive oil has been an indispensable and precious part of cosmetic and beauty rituals for centuries. In Lacinia products, we combine this unique heritage of nature with modern cosmetic science to offer it to your skin. Thanks to the rich oleic acid, linoleic acid, natural squalene, and phenolic antioxidants it contains, it is a magnificent botanical ingredient that protects the skin against the wearing effects of external factors. Rightfully referred to as "liquid gold" in the beauty world, this precious oil provides long-lasting comfort by perfectly harmonizing with the skin's natural lipid barrier.

Benefits in Skincare

Thanks to its rich fatty acid profile, olive oil intensely nourishes the skin and greatly supports the maintenance of its elasticity. The high-quality and pure olive oil extracts we use in Lacinia formulas form a thin, breathable protective barrier on the upper layer of the skin, slowing down moisture loss. Furthermore, being rich in naturally occurring vitamins E and K, it creates a cosmetic shield against free radicals and supports the skin's smooth appearance.

Intensely Nourishes: With its essential fatty acids and vitamins, it provides the lipid support the skin needs, nourishing it deeply and lastingly.
Excellent Softening: It smooths out rough, dry skin texture prone to dryness, adding a velvety and exceptionally soft touch to the skin.
Adds Radiance and Revitalizes: It supports dull, lifeless, and tired-looking skin with its antioxidant richness, providing a natural, healthy glow and wonderful vitality.

How to Use?

Lacinia's skincare creams, body lotions, and relaxing massage oils, specially enriched with olive oil, are highly suitable for daily use. Applying it to cleansed skin with soft, circular massage movements allows the product to penetrate the skin better and enhances its relaxing effect. Especially when used after a shower while the skin is still slightly damp, it traps water in the skin, demonstrating a much more effective and long-lasting moisturizing performance. When used regularly in night care routines, it allows you to feel its nourishing properties to the maximum level while the skin rests.

Who Can Use It?

Olive oil formulations offer excellent, restorative-looking care, especially for normal, dry, and very dry skin types. Mature skin can safely benefit from the nourishing power of olive oil to reduce the appearance of age-related loss of elasticity and to make the skin look fuller. However, due to its intense and rich structure, it may be a more appropriate cosmetic choice for skin types that actively produce excessive sebum (oil) or are very prone to oiliness to use it for body care rather than the facial area.

Things to Consider

Because it is a very intense, deeply nourishing, and rich botanical oil, it may occasionally show a comedogenic effect (clogging pores) on oily skin or skin with enlarged pore problems. Therefore, it is important to evaluate its suitability for your skin type before applying it directly to the face. As with any new cosmetic product, testing it on a small area of the skin before applying it extensively to the entire body is always the safest approach from a cosmetic perspective.
