Description
Olive Pomace Oil is a refined olive oil extracted from the olive pulp, pit and skin left after the first pressing. Refining removes most of the natural colour and scent, leaving a thick, pale yellow to light green oil with a mild aroma. It is high in oleic acid, which makes it stable and rich on the skin.
It is a good-value everyday oil, popular for full-body massage where its rich glide goes a long way, and for moisturising dry skin on elbows, knees and feet. Many people mix it with a lighter oil such as sweet almond or grapeseed for a less heavy feel.
- Rich, cushioned glide for massage
- High in oleic acid for soft-feeling skin
- Mild scent and colour, easy to blend with essential oils
- Good value in sizes up to 4 litres
Pairs well with: Sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba, lavender, rosemary and orange
