Zeytin Hanim Beauty – SQUALENE MOISTURIZER FROM VERY HIGH POLYPHENOL OLIVE OIL For centuries, olive oil has been used in many parts of the world for skin, hair and diet due to its beneficial properties. Unfortunately, like many other substances (collagen, bone density, hair, etc.), the amount of fat and squalene in our body decreases as we age. This is the biggest reason why our skin becomes drier over time. In fact, everyone (every mammal) is born with around 12 squalene in their skin. Squalene is the skin's primary lipid, natural emollient, built-in moisturizer and antioxidant. The amount of squalene in the skin decreases with age and is further exacerbated by modern life and environmental factors. That's why babies' skin is so soft. It is important to help keep our skin naturally balanced. For this reason, we wanted to introduce you to our Natural Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is high in squalene. This oil is produced from South Aegean olives, by hand picking them one by one while the olives are green, and using the cold pressing method within 4 hours at most. It can be produced in limited quantities annually. Although polyphenols and squalene are found in every olive variety, suitable olive trees are researched one by one and selected with care in order to obtain such high amounts. It naturally contains vitamins A, D, E and K. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that dissolves in fat and protects our body against aging. Fatty acids undergo certain processes in the human body and are converted into fatty acids with different properties. However, there are exceptions to this. Oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids must be obtained externally. The human and animal bodies cannot produce these by processing other fatty acids. However, these have very important functions for the organism. These fatty acids are called essential fatty acids. Because these are vital for health. These are fatty acids that must be taken with diet. It is also very important to have a certain ratio between essential fatty acids, otherwise some problems may occur with the nervous system, brain development and liver. The ratios of these acids in olive oil are very close to those in breast milk. It is an excellent support product for the skin with its monounsaturated oleic acid, polyunsaturated Omega-3 (linolenic acid), Omega-6 (linoleic acid), squalene and vitamin E with anti-aging properties and polyphenols, which are strong anti-oxidants. So what is Squalene? Squalene is a hydrocarbon consisting of hydrogen and carbon (C30 H50) with a high content of unsaturated fat. This substance, which is naturally found in the sebum of our skin, plays a major role in the renewal of cells and keeping the skin alive. Squalene, which was previously thought to be found only in human sebum and shark liver oil, has been found to be found in certain plants as a result of research (2.7 million sharks must be hunted annually to meet the need for squalane - the hydrogen-saturated form of squalene - used especially in the cosmetics industry. For this reason, alternative sources of squalene have been tried to be found.). Olive Tree, which is the source of many sterols and sterol-like chemicals, is the largest source of squalene among plants. The main component of squalene is a special substance - isoprenoid. Cell-friendly isoprenoid is an antioxidant with unique properties that settles on the cell membrane and protects the body. This substance, naturally found in the body, plays a major role in the renewal of cells and keeping the skin alive. Over time, the amount of squalene in the body decreases. In such cases, taking squalene externally has many benefits. What are the Benefits of Squalene? Moisturizes, prevents water loss: Squalene is an excellent moisturizer. It leaves the skin moist, plump and soft. In studies conducted on subjects for 15 days, it was observed that the placebo product containing squalene increased the moisture of the skin by around 5.2, while the placebo product without squalene increased the moisturization by .5. In addition to moisturizing, it was found that the same sample reduced water loss (TEWL) by .6, while the squalene-free placebo product only reduced it by around 2 . Protects from oxidative damage: Most importantly, squalene helps protect your skin from free radicals that can cause age spots and premature aging. It can even help fade dark pigments over time. Cell life increases by P: MMT (Vitro) tests performed on cells reveal that as a result of applying squalene to cells in certain percentages, cell life is extended by P and the rate of cell proliferation increases. It is emphasized that our product increases cell proliferation and cell durability and is an important antioxidant. Prevents Irritation: Unlike other moisturizers, squalene has been clinically proven to be non-irritating. This makes it an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin conditions. Soot: Squalene may speed the healing of cracked skin. It has positive effects in the treatment of many dermatological diseases. Fighting Bacteria: Squalene is a natural antibacterial. It protects from the harmful rays of the sun. Why Zeytin Hanim Beauty? You can find this valuable substance, which is found in 400-450 milligrams per 100 grams of olive oil, in a more concentrated form in our product. It contains at least 18,000 milligrams of squalene in 100 grams. In other words, it is 40 times more effective than a normal extra virgin olive oil. It exists as squalene (not as squalane). Squalene needs hydrogen atoms to become stable. As soon as it passes from the skin to our body, it takes hydrogen from the water in our body and releases three oxygen atoms. Thus, just like in ozone therapy, it increases the oxygen in the body, prevents high acidity that causes cancer and eliminates oxygen deficiency. It plays a major role in the renewal of cells and keeping the skin alive. How to Apply? Apply 1-2 drops daily to clean skin with bare fingers, gently massaging. You can use it in every part of your body. This special oil of ours is easily absorbed by the skin layers due to the squalene it contains. It does not leave any residue on the skin. It does not contain sugar, alcohol, petroleum-based products, parabens, synthetic fragrances, colorants or preservatives. It is completely natural.
