Botanical Name: Olea europaea
Aroma: Same As for Virgin Olive Cooking Oil (Smells Somewhat Like Olives).
Viscosity: Thick.
Absorption/Feel: Oily.
Color: Light to Medium Green.
Shelf Life: 1-2 Years
Notes: Olive Oil's heavy viscosity, oily texture and aroma makes it less preferred than other oils for skin care and aromatherapy applications. If not carefully used or used in a small dilution with another carrier, it may overpower a blend.
When purchasing Olive Oil, be sure that you are purchasing a cold pressed, virgin oil.
