Olive Natural Beauty is a company offers handmade that are produced in small batches. Making their products in small batches ensures that you are getting the highest quality ingredients with the best effects. The company was founded in 2009 by Jess Lauren, who has been so sweet to me. Jess recently gave me the privilege of trying out some of her fantastic products and I’m excited to share my opinions with you.
First, here is a little more info about Jess and Olive Natural Beauty from www.olivenaturalbeauty.com:
“After managing the leading apothecary in Boston Massachusetts and graduating summa cum laude from Emerson College with a degree in Marketing, Jess found a lack in the market for handmade organic skin care that focused on the benefits of extra virgin olive oil to the skin.
Having grown up in an Italian household, Jess learned from a young age how beneficial and important olive oil can be to the body’s health. Through using the oil as a cooking staple and seeing her grandparents use it as a regular skin moisturizer, Jess found her perfect skin care product.
Olive Natural Beauty uses recyclable packaging as well as ingredients that include Good Trade fairly traded organic cocoa butter, and fairly traded organic Shea butter through the African Fair Trade Council–profits of which empower women in Africa. Other ingredients are organically certified by the USDA, Oregon Tilth, and Earth Kosher, and our beeswax is harvested on the Washington Olympic Mountains using Old World methods where the higher altitude produces the most pure wax.
Olive Natural Beauty believes that great attitude and happiness starts with great skin, but only can great skin be achieved with a product made of the finest natural and organic, vegetarian ingredients- Olive Natural Beauty.”
“Each ingredient is carefully hand selected to guarantee highest quality, benefits, and results.
Olive Natural Beauty products are made to ensure that every product delivers benefits and results. We use organic, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil–what Olive Natural Beauty believes to be the fountain of youth–as the the main ingredient in and focus of our products.
Extra virgin olive oil is the purest form of olive oil and a unique ingredient that cannot be matched by any other because of its variety of powerful benefits. Olive oil is extremely moisturizing without leaving a thick, greasy, or heavy feel. Our certified organic olive oil also delivers a powerful boost of polyphenols, antioxidants, which bind to the skin and prevent further aging.
Olive Natural Beauty brings to you products that deliver results yet include only completely natural and certified organic ingredients. Together with the love and care that comes with hand making and packaging each product, your skin will love you and you will love Olive Natural Beauty.”
Why Olive?
“Olive Natural Beauty products focus on the amazing benefits organic extra virgin olive oil provides to the skin. Rich in Linoleic and Oleic acids, a deprivation of which is a main cause of dry skin, extra virgin olive oil is the least processed, purest form of the oil. High in vitamin A, B, C, D, E, K, and iron, the oil has been long known as the Mediterranean people’s secret of youth and beauty. These vitamins found in Olive Natural Beauty products help skin to look younger by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while deflecting and neutralizing free radicals that attack skin’s youthful appearance and cause up to 80% of aging. An oil discovered more than five thousand years ago by the Egyptians, olive oil helps promote a smooth, radiant completion, while conditioning and restoring elasticity in the skin by fighting off free radicals. Olive Natural Beauty extra virgin olive oil will protect your skin inside and out!
Olive is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. The oil itself is extracted from the almost ripe drupes through a method called pressing. The oil varies in color from a pale golden yellow to a dark green and has a heavy texture. Olive Natural Beauty uses 100% organic extra virgin in all of our products which is the purest, least processed, and most beneficial form of olive oil”
I was lucky enough to get to test out the amazing Goddess Glow Sweet Fennel Body Scrub. This scrub not only smells amazing, but it feels amazing! The olive oil leaves your skin feeling smooth, but not greasy. And the scent lasts for hours. The sweet fennel almost has a licorice-type of smell. I use it on my lips, legs, hands, feet and elbows!
I love it!!
I also got to try the Lemon and Lavender Savior Salve. First of all, lemon and lavender are two of my favorite scents. Secondly, this Savior Salve is sooooo nice! It’s amazing for treating dry feet, softening calluses on your fingers, moisturizing elbows and so much more. I personally prefer it on my cuticles. Before I knew about the Savior Salve I was using lotion on my cuticles. The Savior Salve keeps my cuticles soft and moisturized for hours.
A little trick I learned from the Olive Natural Beauty website is to apply a pea-sized amount of the Savior Salve on the ends of your hair for a “beach-kissed” look and stronger ends.
I am always struggling to find a lip balm that I can stick with. I’m seriously loving my Oat and Honey scented Lip Balm made from beeswax. Don’t you hate when you buy an expensive lip balm to find out that it’s horrible? ONB offers many different scents to please most. They use a special high altitude beeswax in their lip balm (which is animal-cruelty free) which provides moisture but still allows yours lips to breathe. I love how my lips aren’t greasy or sticky when using the ONB lip balm.
