_Olea europaea_ (olive) fruit oil is an emollient plant oil with benefits similar to several other non-fragrant plant oils. It is beneficial for dry skin because of its fatty acid content, some of which comes from the emollient squalene. _Olea europaea_ (olive) fruit oil contains essential fatty acids dry skin needs, including oleic, palmitic, and linoleic acids. It also contains phenolic compounds that provide antioxidant benefit. A small number of animal tests show that topically applied olive oil can protect against environmental damage.
