Olive oil is rich nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins that are great for the body, whether you choose to eat it, or use it on your skin. Vitamins A and E, as well as some polyphenols, are among the natural antioxidants found in olive oil and are known for their ability to combat free radicals, contributing to cell repair. Olive oil also contains a natural moisturizer, called squalene, that has the ability to regulate skin oil secretion to help normalize problem skin. Chlorophyll, the nutrient responsible for olive oil’s green tone, helps heal wounds and fade scars.
