Product Reviews by Experts
I love the black branding, I love the glass bottle, I love that this is to be used at night only–that way it’s not competing with sunscreen or makeup or mixing with other products. It is super light-weight and also smooth on my skin and the main ingredient is New Zealand olive oil! Simple, trustworthy. I love the packaging and care in the thank you cards and the gua sha included! So thoughtful. Very thoughtful formulation, intentional creation, intentional ethics and ecological respect. So grateful for this devotion. The product feels beautiful and is full of lovely, trustworthy ingredients. The core ingredient is olive oil; it’s made in small batches, waterless to increase potency. Love the dark glass to preserve the formula! Impressed, love this product. Love using it at night. Love the thoughtfulness across the board in their approach. Grateful to learn of this brand! I’ll be looking up their other products.
Wow – this beautiful oil-serum cocoons my skin overnight, creating a nourishing barrier that leaves it feeling deeply hydrated, fortified and oh-so-soft by morning. I love the beautiful black glass bottle, which makes every application feel like a luxurious little self-care ritual. A gorgeous blend of bakuchiol, olive oil and botanical extracts that my skin absolutely drinks up. What resonated with me most is the brand’s philosophy of creating less, but creating it well. From waterless formulations and locally sourced New Zealand olive oil to small-batch production and recyclable packaging, there is a heartfelt approach to reducing waste while delivering beautiful, concentrated products. I also love their commitment to supporting local growers and keeping production in New Zealand as the business grows.
I am very sensitive to scents, even non-toxic scents so I love that this product smell is very mild, and causes no irritation at all. I have been using this product both morning & night (despite it being a night time serum), and have loved the results. I use it under a balm for the day, and on its own at night. It feels incredibly hydrating for my usually dry skin. I love that the product range is small – to me this reflects simplicity & ease when it comes to skincare, and a focus on mastering the effectiveness of their products. Small batch production to reduce waste, glass bottles to recycle and compostable postage bags to reduce environmental impact… Love EVOO+ Botanicals consideration of their environmental impact.
