Ozonated olive oil for everyday skin care
Healthy-looking skin needs consistent moisture and protection from excessive dryness. Oxy-Oil provides a simple approach with one ingredient: 100% full-strength ozonated olive oil.
The oil can be massaged into the face, hands, feet, elbows, knees, and other areas that need additional conditioning. Its oil-based consistency helps soften the skin while reducing the loss of moisture that can leave skin feeling rough or dry.*
One ingredient with multiple uses
You do not always need a complicated ingredient list to create an effective skin care routine.
Oxy-Oil contains no combination of fragrances, mineral oils, lanolin, or lengthy blends of cosmetic ingredients. Its skin-conditioning properties come from ozonated olive oil, making it particularly useful for people who prefer simple, oil-based skin care.
What is ozonated olive oil?
Ozonated olive oil begins with olive oil, but it is not simply ordinary olive oil placed into a skincare bottle.
During ozonation, ozone is introduced to the oil. Ozone reacts with the unsaturated fatty acids naturally present in olive oil, changing portions of the oil's chemical composition and creating oxygen-containing compounds.
Oxy-Oil uses this ozonated oil as its entire formula.
What happens during ozonation?
Olive oil naturally contains unsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid. The carbon-carbon double bonds within these fatty acids can react with ozone.
This reaction produces various oxygenated compounds, including ozonides, peroxides, aldehydes, and related oxidation products. These chemical changes are why ozonated olive oil can have a different texture, aroma, and chemical profile than untreated olive oil.
Moisture support for dry skin
Dry skin can occur when the outermost layers of the skin lose too much water or lack sufficient lipids to maintain a comfortable, flexible surface.
Oxy-Oil functions as an oil-based emollient. When massaged into the skin, it helps condition and soften dry or rough-feeling areas while supporting moisture retention.*
Seal in moisture after bathing
One of the easiest ways to incorporate Oxy-Oil into a routine is to apply a small amount after bathing or showering.
Applying an oil while the skin still contains some surface moisture can help create a conditioning layer that reduces moisture loss. Concentrate on areas that tend to become particularly dry, such as the hands, feet, elbows, and knees.
Oxy-Oil for face and body
Oxy-Oil is versatile enough to use on both the face and body.
For facial use, only a small amount may be necessary. Gently massage the oil into the skin rather than saturating the face. For larger body areas, distribute the oil between your palms before massaging it into the desired area.
Adjust the amount to your skin
More oil does not necessarily mean better results.
If your skin still feels excessively oily long after application, try using less. People with dry skin may prefer a slightly more generous application, while combination or naturally oily skin may require only a few drops.
When introducing Oxy-Oil to facial skin, we recommend starting with a small amount and observing how your skin responds.
Supporting softer, smoother-looking skin
Skin can feel rough when the outer surface lacks sufficient moisture and lipids. An emollient oil helps fill spaces between surface skin cells, creating a smoother feel.
Oxy-Oil provides lipid-rich conditioning from olive oil while the ozonation process gives the finished oil its distinctive composition.
A simple addition to a daily routine
You can use Oxy-Oil by itself or incorporate it into an existing skincare routine.
When combining it with water-based serums or moisturizers, apply the lighter water-based products first and use the oil afterward. This allows the oil to serve as the richer, more occlusive step in your routine.
Olive oil nutrients and compounds
Olive oil is primarily composed of fatty acids rather than vitamins and minerals. Its most important naturally occurring components include monounsaturated fatty acids and smaller quantities of antioxidant compounds.
Because Oxy-Oil is ozonated, its final chemical composition differs from untreated culinary olive oil.
Oleic acid
Oleic acid is the predominant monounsaturated fatty acid naturally present in olive oil.
Why it matters: Fatty acids contribute to olive oil's emollient qualities and help explain why olive oil spreads easily across the skin and provides a rich, conditioning feel.
Linoleic acid
Linoleic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid naturally present in olive oil in smaller quantities than oleic acid.
Why it matters: Linoleic acid is associated with normal skin barrier structure and is an important component of skin lipids.
Palmitic acid
Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid naturally found in olive oil.
Why it matters: It contributes to the oil's overall lipid composition and emollient properties.
Squalene
Olive oil naturally contains squalene, a lipid that is also naturally present in human sebum.
Why it matters: Squalene contributes to olive oil's skin-conditioning qualities and is part of its naturally occurring unsaponifiable fraction.
Vitamin E
Olive oil naturally provides tocopherols, including forms of vitamin E.
Why it matters: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect lipids against oxidative processes.
Polyphenols
Olive oil naturally contains phenolic compounds, although the amount varies considerably depending on the source, processing, storage, and ozonation of the oil.
Why they matter: Polyphenols are antioxidant plant compounds associated with many of the properties that make high-quality olive oil nutritionally distinctive.
Ozonides and oxygenated compounds
Ozonation creates oxygen-containing reaction products that distinguish ozonated olive oil from untreated olive oil.
Why they matter: These compounds are characteristic of the ozonation process and are the primary reason Oxy-Oil should not be considered identical to ordinary olive oil.
Oxy-Oil vs. regular olive oil
Both begin with olive oil, but they are not chemically identical.
Regular olive oil retains the fatty-acid and phytochemical profile produced by the olive fruit and subsequent extraction process. Oxy-Oil undergoes an additional ozonation process in which ozone reacts with unsaturated components of the oil.
Ozonated vs. untreated
If you simply want a basic carrier oil or culinary oil, regular olive oil serves that purpose.
Choose Oxy-Oil when you specifically want our full-strength ozonated olive oil and the distinctive oxygen-containing compounds created through ozonation.
The difference is the process, not the addition of a long list of secondary ingredients.
Oxy-Oil vs. mineral oil
Mineral oil and Oxy-Oil are fundamentally different substances.
Mineral oil is derived from petroleum and consists predominantly of hydrocarbons. Oxy-Oil is plant-derived and made entirely from ozonated olive oil.
Plant-derived oil vs. petroleum-derived oil
Both can function as emollients, but their compositions are very different.
Oxy-Oil naturally originates from olive oil and contains fatty-acid-derived compounds and other components associated with the olive oil base. It contains no petroleum-derived mineral oil.
Oxy-Oil vs. lanolin
Lanolin is a waxy substance obtained from sheep's wool and is commonly incorporated into creams, balms, and other moisturizing products.
Oxy-Oil does not contain lanolin. It is made entirely with ozonated olive oil.
Plant-based vs. animal-derived skin conditioning
People who prefer plant-based skin care may choose Oxy-Oil because its sole ingredient originates from olives rather than sheep's wool.
Its simple formulation also makes it easy to know exactly what you are applying to your skin.
Oxy-Oil (8 oz) vs. Oxy-Oil (4 oz)
There is no need to choose between two different formulations.
Oxy-Oil (8 oz) and our Oxy-Oil (4 oz) both contain 100% full-strength ozonated olive oil. The primary difference is the amount of product in the bottle.
Which size should I choose?
Choose Oxy-Oil (8 oz) if you use the oil regularly, apply it to larger areas of your body, or simply want more product on hand.
Choose Oxy-Oil (4 oz) if you are trying the product for the first time, use smaller quantities, or prefer a more compact bottle.
Oxy-Oil vs. traditional body lotion
Most body lotions are emulsions made by combining water and oil with emulsifiers. They may also contain humectants, preservatives, fragrances, thickeners, and other cosmetic ingredients.
Oxy-Oil is different because it is a water-free, single-ingredient oil.
Oil-based conditioning vs. a water-based moisturizer
A lotion can directly supply both water and oil-based components, while Oxy-Oil primarily functions as an emollient oil that conditions the skin and helps retain moisture.*
For particularly dry skin, try applying Oxy-Oil after bathing or over a water-based moisturizer to combine hydration with richer oil-based conditioning.
A simple formula for ingredient-conscious skin care
Long ingredient lists are not necessarily bad, but some people simply prefer knowing exactly what goes onto their skin.
With Oxy-Oil, there is only one ingredient to consider: full-strength ozonated olive oil.
No mineral oil or lanolin
Oxy-Oil contains no petroleum-derived mineral oil and no animal-derived lanolin.
This makes the product especially straightforward for people who prefer simple, plant-derived oil-based skin care.
Using Oxy-Oil on hands, feet, elbows, and knees
Certain areas of the body naturally experience more friction, environmental exposure, and dryness.
The hands may be repeatedly exposed to soap and water. Feet encounter friction from shoes. Elbows and knees can develop a noticeably rougher texture than surrounding skin.
Oxy-Oil can be massaged into these areas to provide concentrated conditioning and help maintain softer, smoother-feeling skin.*
Give dry areas extra attention
For rough-feeling hands or feet, massage a small amount of Oxy-Oil thoroughly into the skin.
For elbows and knees, consistent application may be more useful than applying a large quantity at once. A little oil can spread across a surprisingly large area.
Why does ozonated olive oil smell different?
People trying ozonated olive oil for the first time may notice that it does not smell exactly like the olive oil in their kitchen.
That is normal.
Ozonation changes the oil
When ozone reacts with olive oil's unsaturated fatty acids, new oxygen-containing compounds are created.
These chemical changes can produce a distinctive aroma. The smell is therefore related to the ozonation process rather than added perfume or fragrance.
How to use Oxy-Oil
Oxy-Oil can be incorporated into a regular skin care routine with very little preparation.
External use
Pour a small amount of Oxy-Oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and massage the oil into the desired area of skin.
Use twice daily according to the product directions.
When applying it to the face for the first time, start with a small amount. We also recommend patch testing new topical products if you have particularly sensitive or reactive skin.
Internal use
1 teaspoon Oxy-Oil for an internal use. If you intend to use the product internally and you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, have a medical condition, or have questions about whether internal use is appropriate for you, consult a qualified healthcare professional first.
