Why Olive Oil?
Aside of our tradition and roots, Olive Oil is rich in phenolic compounds, tocopherols, fatty acids and many more, making it a treasure for tissue regeneration and general skin health.
It is clinically proven that the above compounds can stimulate cell growth and differentiation in the skin, as well as fibroblast proliferation and migration*. They help to increase the synthesis of collagen I, related to tissue repair. They also help to reduce bacterial load and the growth of multiple microorganisms.
