Olive oil is familiar in many settings, but the intended use on the bottle matters. Herby Factor's Olea europaea product is a cosmetic oil labelled for external use only. Do not assume that a topical oil is suitable for cooking or drinking because it shares a name with a food oil.
Why do people consider it for hair?
An oil can coat hair and change how the lengths feel during a grooming routine. Some people prefer that feel; others find an oil too heavy or difficult to wash out. Choose according to the product directions and your own hair, and avoid promises that a simple oil will mend split ends permanently or reverse hair loss.
Natural does not mean suitable for every skin
Research on topical olive oil has produced findings that depend on the study conditions. In one small adult study, repeated application reduced measures of skin-barrier integrity. That is a reason to avoid assuming that olive oil is automatically the best choice for eczema-prone skin, damaged skin or infant massage.
A careful cosmetic routine
If you choose to use the labelled product on hair, start with a small amount and assess its feel and removal. Avoid eyes, broken skin and any area that becomes irritated. For a skin disease or a baby's skin-care needs, ask a qualified professional for suitable products rather than relying on a traditional oil claim.
