ODE combines estate-grown extra virgin, certified organic olive oil with nutrient-rich botanicals for daily hydration and glow. Each product is infused with the terroir of the Northern California coastal range-fog, oak woodland, and marine air. ODE honors a commitment to the common good by using recyclable packaging, saying no to phthalates, parabens, sulfates, and animal testing, and committing to Leaping Bunny and USDA organic certification. All ODE products are paraben, phthalate, and sulfate free. Products are never tested on animals and do not contain animal derived ingredients (except the beeswax in our lotions and balms). All our products are made in the USA. By harvesting our most precious ingredient, the olive, before it is phenologically ripe, we produce a concentrated olive oil that protects and nourishes skin with its high polyphenol content.
Our formulas are efficacious for all skin types:
HYDRATION: Organic extra virgin olive oil contains high levels of readily absorbable squalene,* an extremely hydrating lipid similar to the skin's natural sebum.
NOURISHMENT: Our olives are harvested early in the fall - in the Tuscan tradition - ensuring peak antioxidant levels.
PROTECTION: Premium quality olive oil forms a barrier to protect skin from irritants, while its vitamin A & E content helps soften overexposed, dry skin. *Conventional olive oil is processed chemically to remove squalene, which is then sold as a separate, highly-processed, and degraded ingredient.
