🌿 Olive Oil: A Gift from Nature
For thousands of years, olive oil has been more than just a kitchen staple. In ancient civilizations like Greece, Rome, and the Levant, it was regarded as a healing oil, used for medicine, rituals, and skin care. Today, science continues to confirm what tradition has always known — olive oil is packed with natural compounds that are incredibly beneficial for the human body and skin.
At Akkad Trading, we are proud to carry on this ancient tradition through our authentic Aleppo soap, made with high-quality olive oil and laurel oil, offering natural skincare solutions to our customers across the UAE and beyond.
💪 Health Benefits of Olive Oil
1. Supports Heart Health
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), particularly oleic acid, which helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). This promotes better cardiovascular function and lowers the risk of heart disease.
✅ Daily use of extra virgin olive oil has been linked to a 30% reduction in heart-related issues.
2. Packed with Antioxidants
Extra virgin olive oil contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that fight oxidative stress and free radicals—reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
The compound oleocanthal in olive oil works similarly to ibuprofen, offering natural anti-inflammatory effects without side effects.
4. Supports Digestive and Gut Health
Olive oil stimulates the production of bile, which improves digestion and nutrient absorption. It can also reduce the risk of ulcers and inflammation in the gut.
✨ Olive Oil for Skin: Nature’s Moisturizer
1. Hydration Without Clogging Pores
Unlike synthetic moisturizers, olive oil contains squalene, a lipid that mimics the skin’s natural oils. It penetrates deeply and hydrates from within, without clogging pores.
2. Anti-Aging Protection
Rich in vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols, olive oil helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by repairing skin damage caused by sun exposure and pollution.
3. Calms Inflammation and Redness
Olive oil is ideal for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea, thanks to its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.
4. Gentle, Natural Cleansing
It removes dirt, sebum, and makeup while preserving the skin’s protective barrier—making it excellent for sensitive skin and babies.
