OLIVE OIL BEAUTY BENEFITS
Raphael Natural Beauty With Estate Produced Organic Olive Oil.
Raphael Natural Beauty is an eco-luxe beauty collection that sources early-harvest, certified-organic,extra virgin olive oil from our coastal olive orchards in Antalya. Each of our products boasts the benefits of early harvest olive oil and other botanical extracts that benefit the skin.
For centuries, olive oil has been ascribed with healing abilities and used in medicinal ointments. In addition, the lore of olive oil as a beauty aid has also endured the test of time. Cleopatra’s iconic beauty and “glow” has been attributed to her use of olive oil on her hair, face, and body. Olive oil is naturally hydrating and can both cleanse and protect skin and hair.
At Antalya Olive Ranch, we grow and mill our olives in the Mediterranean tradition, which calls for an early harvest. The autumn frosts in Mediterranean prompt farmers to harvest their fruit earlier than other regions. Early harvest olive oil abounds with polyphenols, a type of antioxidant. These polyphenols are good for the body inside and out: they reduce inflammation, fight free radicals that damage the skin, and provide anti-aging benefits.
Our olive oil also contains naturally occurring vitamin E and squalane - a known ingredient that assists with the hydration of the skin by mimicking the skin's natural sebum. The cosmetic industry has long relied on the benefits of squalane but has unsustainably harvested deep-sea sharks to procure it. Olive oil is a sustainable source of squalane, an essential qualification for all our ingredient choices for Raphael Natural Beauty.
Taking inspiration from the Ranch, the Raphael Natural Beauty collection pays homage to Antalya’s diverse botanical landscape. We are proud to be part of a green beauty movement and develop natural formulations that are healthy, hydrating, and beautifully packaged. Our beauty products can be used as part of your daily beauty ritual to hydrate your skin and hair.
