Benefits of olive oil for body and skin

Olive oil is obtained from the plant species Olea europaea L. (Oleaceae). When we talk about olive oil, the first thing that comes to mind is the consumption of this precious oil from the inside, through the diet, because it is easily digestible and has a beneficial effect on the bones, joints, circulatory system and skin.

However, its value is also recognized in medicine and pharmacy and is often used alone or in combination with other natural ingredients. Olive oil obtained from the fruit and leaf of the olive tree is used. In addition to vitamins A and E, minerals (iron, zinc, potassium, calcium and phosphorus) and acids (oleic, linoleic, etc.), it also contains the very important component biphenol, which prevents the onset of chronic inflammatory diseases.

Due to its composition, which has a beneficial effect on the skin and has the ability to slow down the aging process, olive oil is often used in natural cosmetics for skin care.
