Olive oil is by far the most universal of oils.
Olive oil has a good conditioning effect in skincare recipes and can be used in almost all applications because of its stability.
Pomace olive oil is preferred for cold-pressed soapmaking as it is solvent extracted and leads to a quick trace. (I wouldn't use pomace olive oil for anything else!)
Recently I have noticed pomace olive oil being used as the hero ingredient of a new brand of skincare. It is renamed olive husk oil. Ingenious marketing!
