FunctionEmollient

What it is — Olive Oil (INCI: Olea Europaea Fruit Oil) is a classic plant oil used as a moisturizing emollient.

What it does — It is commonly used to soften and condition, giving formulas a rich, cushioned feel and acting as a nourishing carrier for dry skin and hair.

Typical use — Found in facial oils, creams, balms, cleansing oils and hair treatments.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits normal to dry skin and hair wanting rich comfort; its heavier, occlusive feel means very oily or breakout-prone skin may prefer lighter oils.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review, reflecting a well-tolerated plant emollient. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if your skin reacts easily.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - plant emollient oil, well tolerated.
