5% pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Not an extract. The real thing.

Made in UK | Vegan | Cruelty Free

A nourishing daily moisturiser containing 5% pure I+O Extra Virgin Olive Oil - naturally rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, fatty acids and squalene.

We chose I+O Extra Virgin Olive Oil deliberately. Its naturally occurring polyphenols and squalene help support the skin against everyday oxidative stress, while its fatty acids help soften and condition. What is oxidative stress? Read more about it here.
About

5% of the formula is pure I+O Extra Virgin Olive Oil - not an olive-derived extract or fragrance, but the real thing.

The result is a hydrating lightweight moisturiser designed to nourish, soften and support the skin's natural barrier.

The science behind the ingredient is compelling - read more below, or on our Science pages. But we believe skincare should stay simple: one powerful natural ingredient, thoughtfully formulated.
Research

Extra virgin olive oil naturally contains polyphenols, including hydroxytyrosol, which have been widely studied for their antioxidant activity. It also contains squalene, a lipid found naturally on the skin's surface widely recognised for emollient properties.

Most formulas that list 'olive oil' on pack use it at fragrance-level concentrations - a fraction of a percent. At 5%, ours is one of the most concentrated pure-extra virgin olive oil facial moisturisers available, giving skin a meaningful dose of these naturally occurring compounds rather than a token amount.

FAQs
Will this feel greasy?

No. Despite the 5% concentration, the formula is designed to absorb fully into skin rather than sit on the surface. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is rich but not occlusive in the way some oils are, and it's been formulated to give a rich feel on application that settles into a comfortable, non-greasy finish. It layers well under SPF and makeup once absorbed
Does it smell like olive oil?

Because we use real, unrefined Extra Virgin Olive Oil rather than a fragrance or extract, the moisturiser has a natural, subtle olive note rather than a synthetic scent. It fades quickly after application and isn't perfumed.
Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, the 5% EVOO is the place to start. We suggest trying at night time first, to allow time for absorbtion.
Can I use this with other active ingredients, like retinol or vitamin C?

Yes. It works well layered after serums as the final, richer step in your routine, and can help support the skin barrier during use of stronger actives.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, this product is vegan and cruelty-free.
How long before I see results?

Many people notice softer, more comfortable skin after the first few uses. For visible improvements in texture and hydration, we'd suggest daily use for 4–6 weeks.
How much should I use?

A little goes a long way given the richness of the formula a pea sized amount is usually enough for the full face.
