Olive oil, one of Mother Nature’s most precious gifts, has a long history as a healthy remedy for skincare, in addition to its culinary benefits. The Olive Tree, a newly established natural skincare brand, is harnessing the full potential and goodness of olive oil, to create the most natural, authentic and affordable skincare products for the discerning consumer.

“Our products are free from harmful chemicals and preservatives such as Paraben, Phthalates, Sulfates (SLS, SLES, etc), petroleum, synthetic colours and fragrance. We do not use animal by-products and we are strictly against animal testing. Specifically made in Australia with only high quality plant-based ingredients, our products are suitable for all skin types, particularly dry and sensitive skin. Not only do our products cleanse and nourish, they also retain the essential natural oils of our skin, leaving it healthy, smooth and moisturized,” said Law Hong Mei, Founder of The Olive Tree PLT.

The natural goodness of olive oil extends beyond beauty. Rich with vitamins E and A, antioxidants that fight age-accelerating, disease-causing and cell-damaging free radicals, this miracle oil also contains Oleocanthal, a compound touted for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Inflammation in the body can compromise immune system and put one at risk for illness and disease, including chronic skin rashes, heart disease and digestive problems. Olive oil also emits a pleasant, fruity aroma rather than an overtly perfumed scent that can irritate sensitive noses. Soaps made with olive oil are hard and lather minimally so the bars tend to last longer, making it a worthy investment.

The Olive Tree offers a wide range of products from head-to-toe, with ingredients that contain therapeutic and aroma-therapeutic properties:

HANDCRAFTED SOAPS

These handmade soaps are made in small batches in Australia using the age-old method of cold process, which involves the saponification of olive oil and sodium hydroxide (Lye). Through this process, the highly moisturizing Glycerin (byproduct of saponification) is retained in the soap to ensure the skin feels supple, smooth and moisturized when used. Available in four natural scents – Pure Olive Soap, Tea Tree, Lavender and Lemon Myrtle, the soaps are priced at only RM24.90 with each bar weighing approximately 100g.

HAIR CARE

Using only the finest ingredients, the hair care products are perfect for all skin types. Although it may lack in lather as a result of not using harmful Sulfates (i.e. SLS, SLES, etc), be assured that they do not lack in cleansing power. Due to its natural ingredients, the products refresh the hair, leaving it manageable and healthy. Available in two combinations of ingredients - Rosemary & Mint as well as Tea Tree & Mint, both shampoo and hair conditioner are priced at RM79.90 for each bottle of 500ml.
