Best face forward for awards

This June we’re thrilled to share that the Face Oils that we launched earlier this year have been announced as finalists within the skincare category for the Clean + Conscious Awards 2024. Now in their sixth year, the awards celebrate products that perfectly harmonise with our bodies, environment and society. They accept products into the awards that are clean, ethical, sustainable and responsible. We are honoured to have our Protect Face Oil as a finalist for the Best Face Oil and the Restore Face Oil as a finalist for the Best Night Serum. Having worked tirelessly to create our unique range of Face Oils, we couldn’t be prouder. As a small family-owned local business, we eagerly await the final decision later in the year by the expert panel of judges. Given the recent news and renewed attention on these bottles of liquid gold, we thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce these natural skincare solutions.

 

Protect Face Oil is a lightweight, luxurious formula that absorbs quickly to reveal a visibly healthy, even and glowing complexion. This lighter blend is recommended as a day-time face oil for all skin types, in particular oily skin and younger skin. It’s rich in hydration and antioxidant protection. This beauty helps to retain skin moisture, while also regulating the balance of oil production, preventing clogged pores which means it leaves your skin bouncy, bright and balanced. Vitamins and antioxidants nourish the skin while helping form a protective barrier under which skin can balance and normalize thanks to the plant oils that contain omega fatty acids. Barrier-protecting Prickly Pear, Chia and Camilla Seed Oils deeply nourish and lock moisture into the skin. The Australian Macadamia and Grapeseed oil will help to soothe, calm and restore the skin's natural balance. Grapeseed Oil contains linoleic acid and vitamin E, which help skin retain moisture while restoring elasticity and protecting it from environmental damage.

 

Our Restore Face Oil is combined with rich antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. This was specially formulated for mature skin, dry skin or to use as a nighttime face oil – however, it’s suitable for all skin types. This natural oil blend has been formulated to combat the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to help restore the skin’s foundation after sun damage or moisture loss. Restore can help boost collagen production, as well as brighten, lift and tighten the skin to naturally slow the signs of aging. It’s all thanks to superb natural ingredients. Bakuchiol is considered nature’s retinol that boosts collagen production which will in turn prevent the appearance of fine lines. Sea Buckthorn will promote overall skin health by boosting elasticity and soothing irritations and inflammation. It’s one of the richest natural sources of carotenoids and is known to support healthy-looking skin.  Rosehip Seed Oil is naturally rich in trans-retinoic and omega fatty acids and, therefore known to target the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin.

Here at Olieve & Olie we are excited to introduce our revolutionary ingredient Olive Squalane, which is derived from olives. Included in both of our Face Oils, Olive Squalane is known for its powerful anti-ageing properties and will help the skin age gracefully, as well as provide anti-inflammatory benefits, lock in moisture, and keep your skin looking fresh and healthy. Olive Squalane is suitable for sensitive skin, naturally anti-inflammatory, decreasing redness and irritation. It quickly absorbs into the skin and restores smoothness, suppleness and elasticity. This super ingredient delivers oxygen deep into the skin to promote cell rejuvenation and reduce inflammation, thus leaving you with a healthy-looking complexion. It also cancels out damaging free radicals and glycation that contribute to premature aging. While it acts as a barrier to environmental toxins, it protects the skin from moisture loss therefore boosting overall hydration. You can read more about Olive Squalane here.
