■ Brand Vision and Development Background
Founded by someone who herself suffered from sensitive skin, the skincare brand "olio" was established with the goal of creating "products that you can truly use every day with peace of mind."
Leveraging her experience in plant oil research at university and approximately 10 years of product development and quality control experience at a cosmetics manufacturer, she carefully designs formulations based on scientific evidence, utilizing the inherent power of the ingredients.
She values quality that can be used for a long time to come, rather than just a temporary trend.
Based on the philosophy of "quality that connects to the future," she creates products that are considerate of both people and the environment.
■ Giving New Value to the Unused Resource "Tea Seeds"
This product is a 100% plant-derived multi-use oil based on oil extracted from tea seeds grown in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Shizuoka Prefecture, one of Japan's leading tea-producing regions, faces challenges such as the aging of tea plantation workers and a lack of successors. Furthermore, tea seeds have not been fully utilized until now, and much of it has been treated as an unused resource.
olio focuses on these tea seeds and utilizes carefully harvested raw materials as a skincare oil.
This initiative also contributes to:
* Maintaining and preserving tea plantations
* Supporting local farmers
* Creating employment opportunities at welfare facilities
This sustainable product connects to Japanese agriculture and local cycles through daily skincare.
■ Unique blend of domestically produced tea seed oil and jojoba oil
The oil is carefully extracted from tea seeds grown in Shizuoka Prefecture using a cold-press method without heat.
Furthermore, by blending it with jojoba oil, which is easily absorbed by the skin, in a unique balance, we have achieved a light texture and smooth spreadability.
This oil is easily absorbed by the face, body, and hair, making it easy to incorporate into your daily care routine.
■ Multi-use design for face, hair, and body
Because of its simple formula without unnecessary ingredients, it can be used for total conditioning of the entire body, regardless of the part of the body.
* [For morning and evening skincare] Apply a few drops at the end of your skincare routine, or add 1-2 drops to your toner. It enhances moisturizing effects and thoroughly hydrates the skin. With its light, non-greasy texture, this unisex product is highly recommended for both women and men's daily skincare routines.
* **For Scalp Massage** Before shampooing, with dry scalp and hair, take 5-8 drops of oil onto your fingertips and massage it into your scalp. Then, shampoo as usual and rinse thoroughly. This moisturizes the scalp, reduces dandruff and itchiness, and lifts away sebum buildup that shampoo alone can't remove.
* **Before Blow-Drying & Styling** Apply to the ends of damp, towel-dried hair to protect it from heat and friction, resulting in shiny, smooth, and manageable hair. It's also ideal as a styling oil; applying a small amount to dry hair with your fingers prevents dryness throughout the day and adds a natural shine.
* **For Post-Bath Massage** Take some oil in your palm, warm it slightly, and massage it into your entire body. It's especially recommended for tired legs and the décolleté, areas prone to UV damage and dryness.
■ Fragrance Made with Only Natural Essential Oils
No synthetic fragrances are used; the fragrance is derived solely from natural essential oils.
The naturally derived scent creates a pleasant atmosphere during your daily skincare routine, supporting a relaxing time.
*The essential oils used vary depending on the fragrance type.
■ Black Bottle Design to Protect Quality
To protect the quality of the unrefined oil, a highly light-blocking black bottle is used.
In addition, a dropper type is used for easy and hygienic dispensing of the required amount, making it convenient for daily care.
(*Do not let the tip of the dropper touch your skin directly; dispense the oil into your palm before use.)
Make your daily skincare routine more comfortable and simpler.
