Olea Europaea Fruit Oil is the fixed oil obtained from the ripe fruit of the Olive. In other words - olive oil.

Olive oil also contains antioxidants such as Vitamin E. Antioxidants may help reduce signs of aging by fighting unstable free-radical molecules. It also contains Vitamins A (retinol), D, and K.

Product review:
In summer this works fine. it does soothe my skin and doesn't irritate my eczema. Oil cleansing relieves my eczema. But in winter it's irritating and also causing white bumps. So I guess it's a bit thick for my skin type. And it doesn't clean the skin.
My skin:
Eczmea on the forehead, fungal acne, milia, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and normal to combination skin.
I used to use more expensive oil cleaner, but decided to try this one. I really like it. Rinses off well and keeps my skin clean. Not drying at all. I have oily skin, but I like this product.
