QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Are your products suitable for all skin types?

All Olivanna products are gentle on skin and pH-balanced, making them suitable for all skin types. Our formulas have been developed to address the needs of women’s changing skin as they evolve through time, from dehydration and sensitivity to loss of firmness, fine lines and wrinkles.

Can I use your products throughout pregnancy?

Our products are developed and tested to be safe for use within the recommended guidance, in accordance with regulations. It is important to note that Olivanna do not formulate with retinol or any of its derivatives, which are not recommended for use during pregnancy. We always recommend that you discuss adapting your skincare regime during pregnancy with your GP or midwife.

Is your range suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

Whilst we have taken the utmost care to develop formulas that are gentle on skin, our products aren’t hypoallergenic. If you’re concerned that your skin might react, we’d recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin to check for sensitivity.

Are your products paraben-free and sulfate-free?

Olivanna’s entire product range is free from parabens and sulfates. Why? Whilst sulfates and their derivatives are used to create a lather to remove dirt, oil and impurities, they can sometimes cause sensitivities in skin. Instead, our Rosewater & Chamomile Cream Cleanser contains 0% sulfates and uses plant-based cleansers that respect the integrity of skin.

Are your products natural?

Every Olivanna product contains a minimum of 97% natural or naturally derived ingredients. The latter refers to ingredients that come from natural sources but have been processed to enhance their effects, such as emulsifiers Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, which are derived from olive oil. We aim to use as many natural ingredients as possible, often exceeding our 97% target. We do allow some flexibility for synthetic raw materials that are essential for the formula, such as preservatives or for ingredients that are commonly found within our bodies, such as vitamins.

Do your products contain preservatives?

We formulate in accordance with regulations and as such all of our formulas do contain preservatives that are tested to ensure the efficacy of our products and the safety of our customers. Whilst we are paraben and sulfate free and strive to formulate with 97% natural ingredients, preservatives are essential for protecting the lifespan of our skincare products.
