The virgin olive oils applied to cosmetics, being natural, without chemical treatments or additives, provide more beneficial compounds for the body. They conserve the natural antioxidants, vitamins and other elements of minority presence, since practically all of the olive oils are formed by fatty acids among which the oleic acid predominates. This represents more than two thirds of the total content of olive oil; These fatty acids contribute to maintain the skin's hydration and favor the conservation of the cell membrane.
Triglycerides, fatty acids, and hydrocarbons such as squalene present in olive oil participate in the maintenance of cell cohesion of the outer layer of the skin, promote the preservation of the level of hydration of the skin, and favor its flexibility when palliating lipid deficiency.

The phenolic compounds of antioxidant action such as Hydroxytyrosol, Oleuropein and many others present in virgin olive oils, are currently under study to shed their function and mechanism of action in the human body.
