Olus Oil
Olus Oil is a plant-based emollient used in many UK beauty products as a gentle, sustainable alternative to mineral oil and silicones. It is a blend of vegetable triglycerides that feels light yet nourishing, making it popular in clean-beauty moisturisers, lip balms, hair oils and baby care.
How it works in skincare
In skincare and cosmetic formulations Olus Oil functions as an excellent emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It spreads easily across the skin or hair shaft, creating a soft, non-greasy protective film that helps lock in moisture without clogging pores or weighing hair down. Because it is fully plant-derived and free from petroleum derivatives, it is frequently chosen by brands seeking naturally sourced texture and skin feel.

Where it comes from
