From Kitchen to Beauty Ritual
For millennia, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) has been more than a food—it is a timeless elixir of beauty. Rich in vitamin E, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids, it is a natural ally for skin and hair. With Tre Regine artisanal Puglian olive oil, obtained from Coratina and Ogliarola cultivars, tradition meets natural skincare.
A Journey Through History: From Greece to Rome
The ancient Greeks anointed their bodies with olive oil before competitions to hydrate, protect, and add radiance. The Egyptians valued it as a base for perfumed ointments, while Cleopatra is said to have used plant oils for her beauty.
The Romans transformed olive oil into a wellness ritual in their baths, using massages and treatments to relax body and mind. In patrician households, oils were often infused with herbs and flowers—becoming some of the earliest natural cosmetics.
