Achieving glowing, radiant skin doesn’t have to involve harsh chemicals or complicated routines. Nature already provides some of the most powerful ingredients—and when used wisely, they can completely transform your skin.
At Olively, we believe in the magic of natural ingredients backed by science. Here are 7 of the best natural skincare heroes for glowing skin, and why your routine (and your skin) will love them.
1. Olive Oil
Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and squalene, making it ultra-nourishing and protective for your skin.
Why it works:
It deeply hydrates, soothes irritation, and helps strengthen the skin’s barrier—ideal for dry or sensitive skin types.
A signature ingredient across Olively’s range, because it's gentle, effective, and full of skin-loving nutrients.
2. Vitamin C (From Citrus & Botanical Extracts)
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten the skin, fade dark spots, and protect against environmental damage.
Why it works:
It boosts collagen production and fights dullness, leaving skin visibly smoother and more radiant.
Find it in our Brightening Serum – a daily glow-booster packed with stable, plant-derived Vitamin C.
3. Rosehip Seed Oil
Known as the "elixir of youth," rosehip is packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants.
Why it works:
It improves texture, reduces the appearance of scars and fine lines, and supports overall skin regeneration.
We use organic rosehip in our facial oils for a silky, regenerative finish that never feels greasy.
4. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
While technically a lab-isolated vitamin, it occurs naturally and is beloved in conscious skincare.
Why it works:
It brightens skin tone, strengthens the barrier, reduces pores, and controls oil—without irritation.
Olively’s new formulas for 2025 are embracing niacinamide in a clean, minimalist way. Stay tuned.
5. Jojoba Oil
Jojoba closely mimics your skin’s natural oils, making it ideal for all skin types—yes, even oily skin!
Why it works:
It hydrates, regulates sebum, and helps carry active ingredients deeper into the skin.
Our grooming line for men includes jojoba to nourish without leaving a heavy feel.
6. Aloe Vera
A classic for a reason—aloe is deeply soothing, hydrating, and healing.
Why it works:
It calms inflammation, supports skin recovery, and adds moisture without clogging pores.
7. Calendula
Calendula officinalis—commonly known as marigold—is a bright orange-yellow flower prized for its skin-healing abilities. Extracts are typically made by infusing the petals in oils, or as calendula water, used in toners and creams.
We use calendula-infused oils and extracts in some of our most soothing products because it supports your skin’s natural healing process without irritation. It pairs beautifully with other calming ingredients like olive oil, jojoba, and chamomile.
“Calendula is like a calming whisper to the skin. It’s one of the most underrated, yet powerful botanicals we use.”
— Founder, Olively
