5. Why We Chose Organic Spanish Olive Oil — And Not Just Any Kind

Not all olive oil is created equal—and we didn’t pick ours from a catalog.
When we chose an olive oil for our balm, we weren’t just looking for something natural. We were looking for something exceptional. Something with integrity, purity, and proven skin benefits. That’s why we landed on organic, cold-pressed olive oil from Spain.

Here’s why it matters.

First, Spain grows some of the highest-quality olives in the world. The combination of climate, soil, and traditional farming methods makes Spanish olive oil richer in antioxidants and more stable than many other varieties. The high sun exposure produces fruit with a higher concentration of polyphenols—the compounds that fight oxidative stress and help protect your skin from damage.

Second, we only use certified organic olive oil. That means no pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, and no cutting corners. The trees are grown the slow, clean way—without chemical shortcuts that compromise quality. Your skin doesn’t need pesticide residue. It needs nutrients that come from clean, healthy fruit.

Then there’s the cold-pressing process, done right after harvest. This keeps the oil raw, unrefined, and full of its natural vitamins and fatty acids. It hasn’t been stripped or deodorized. What you’re getting is as close to the olive as possible—pure, nutrient-rich, and ready to work with your skin.

And no—we didn’t go for the cheapest option.
We went for the one that performs, aligns with our values, and delivers results you can feel. It costs more. It’s harder to source. But we think it’s worth it. And once you feel it on your skin, we think you will too.
