Many things have changed in the last two years. The tourism sector has been severely hit by the pandemic and is facing an unprecedented crisis.
While the customers might not be as many as they used to be, the search for the highest quality has become even more valuable. Customers are more and more attentive to the hotel services as well as to the products provided by the hotel.
Even if there aren't many foreign tourists, it is definitely worth investing in hotel amenities that represent the excellence of our country to those who are unfamiliar with it.
We are talking about olive oil, which is not only an icon of our cuisine but also of our territory and its beauty. Let's see then how to use this extraordinary raw material to impress the guests.
Olive oil: the symbol of Italian excellence
In the collective imagination, few things represent Italy as much as olive oil does. We are not the only ones to boast a considerable production of high-quality "green gold", that’s true. In 2021, both Spain and Greece produced more extra virgin olive oil than us.
However, no one can beat us in terms of the quality of the oil and the unbreakable bond we have with this element. Olive oil is not just a simple ingredient, it is a real symbol of Italian culture, both gastronomically and beyond.
Its original use was precisely as a soothing and moisturizing product. Long before being used in the kitchen, in fact, it was applied to the skin to protect it from dust and sunlight. Greek athletes would use it to warm up their muscles, while the ancient Egyptians would massage it into their hair to make it shine.
Therefore, the renewed attention to the cosmetic use of olive oil it’s no surprise. It is nothing but the rediscovery of an element with incredible cosmetic properties.
Moreover, modern cosmetics are moving towards more natural and genuine formulations. As a result, it is clear that choosing hotel amenities enriched with olive oil is a great choice.
The cosmetic properties of olive oil
Olive oil is rich in polyphenols, vitamins (especially vitamin E), and oleic acid. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that inhibit the oxidation process of lipid cells in the epidermis. They are true anti-aging molecules and counteract the action of free radicals, responsible for premature aging.
Oleic acid too has antioxidant, regenerating, and emollient effects on the skin. It deeply nourishes the skin and regulates its natural hydration, keeping it young and bright.
Last but not least, vitamin E has moisturizing, emollient, and elasticizing properties, effective in reducing wrinkles and stretch marks.
Cosmetics enriched with olive oil are, therefore, natural anti-aging products that keep the skin healthy and beautiful and protect it from the action of free radicals.
But there’s more. Cosmetics with olive oil are delicate enough to be suitable for the treatment of sensitive, irritated, or chapped skin.
A courtesy set enriched with olive oil is, therefore, the perfect choice to offer all guests a pampering of well-being. It will regenerate mature skin and will soothe chapped or irritated areas.
Let's not forget that cosmetics with olive oil are perfect for all the accommodation facilities located in seaside or ski resorts. To counteract the effects of sun, wind, saltwater and cold weather, there is nothing better than a soothing and regenerating treatment.
OroVerde, a wide range of high-quality products
OroVerde is our courtesy set enriched with extracts of organic Italian olive oil. As we said, the future of cosmetics is green. In this set, we haven't just searched for the most natural formulation but also for the most eco-friendly packaging.
The 500 ml dispensers of liquid soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, body lotion and bath foam are the most sustainable solution to offer our guests a product of the highest quality.
The dispensers significantly reduce plastic waste in packaging and communicate to the customers the commitment of the accommodation to reduce its environmental impact.
For shorter stays or single rooms, however, the 32 ml bottles remain the best size to avoid waste. In this case, the search for maximum environmental sustainability concerns directly the material these packages are made of. Our choice has fallen on 100% recycled PET.
We are talking about an eco-friendly solution aimed at reducing the production of new plastic and integrating existing plastic back into the production cycle.
Choosing these bottles means offering a cosmetic product of the highest quality, but that’s not all. We are indeed demonstrating a real commitment to the environment, and customers, who are more and more attentive to sustainability, will surely appreciate this attention.
OroVerde is the natural set by excellence. The oil used is exclusively organic, and this choice emphasizes respect for the environment and the rejection of chemicals and herbicides in olive cultivation.
Moreover, the cosmetics of this set have a vegan formulation that is not tested on animals. Not many hotel courtesy sets take into consideration the ethical aspect of cosmetic production. Being able to offer an entire selection of cruelty-free products is undoubtedly a decisive advantage for the accommodation.
The shampoo and the hair conditioner are also paraben-free, that is free from chemical preservatives. Once again, the focus is on the natural, precious properties of Italian olive oil.
Choosing hotel amenities
is never easy. Among the many factors to consider, the type of clientele is perhaps the most crucial.
We could say that a courtesy set should appeal to as many guests as possible. Choosing olive oil, rich in beneficial effects and suitable for all skin types, is undoubtedly a winning choice.
