Can Olive Oil be a good base for a serum
Does anyone know if you can make a good skin or scalp serum with Olive Oil as a base?

Re: Can Olive Oil be a good base for a serum
I've read where results on skin seem to be mixed (good or bad) it can be a little tough on skin,

Where topical application damaged the skin barrier in ojne study...

I am kind of skeptical... it is nothing but soothing for mine.. maybe there was an allergy element.
but it mostly has a great reputation for cell health

Re: Can Olive Oil be a good base for a serum
i think Olive Oil is a good topical and edible compound for skin rejuvenation and body rejuvenation, but i have no idea about using it as a serum.
as I understand it, a serum is a stable liquid that keeps the healthystuff in suspension (it won't decompose or change state) and also help carry additives deep into your skin.
I just don't know. There may be better liquids for a serum stabilizer, like squalene for example, which seems popular.

So maybe Olive Oil or at least Oleic Acid and any other ingredients in a Squalene base.

Olive Oil has many many uses.
Look up some of the old “wives tales” for it’s numerous benefits..

Olive oil I think would be a great base for making serums.

Re: Can Olive Oil be a good base for a serum
So some of you think it would make a good base. is that because it is an acid?

The better the quality of the oil the lower the Acidity level.
