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.
