FrançaisHand-carved Olivewood
OIL APPLICATOR
Why do we use Olivewood?
Olivewood is extremely hardy and non-porous. This makes it resistant to bacteria, easy to clean, and very versatile to use. The main reason we made an applicator for oils and pigments out of olivewood, is because it makes your ritual truly sustainable, olivewood would not alter the pH of your beauty ingredients (like oils) and you do not have to use disposable or plastic applicators.
How is it made?
Olivewood accessories are made by Katari artisans in the Mediterranean Tunisia. Each piece is finished by hand and it takes a while to make each applicator. Variations in sizes and shapes are natural due to the process. Wood patterns are also varied due to uniqueness of each piece of olivewood used.

Olivewood accessories are sustainable!
Olive trees produce fruit (olives) only for a few decades. Then, new trees are planted near old trees; and old trees find new live in gorgous accessories you can enjoy for many years.
