For thousands of years, olive oil was applied to skin exposed to heat, wind, and long days outdoors. Palio No. 1 combines antioxidant-rich olive oil with modern sun protection to create a Broad Spectrum SPF 30. Tradition, refined into protection.
A Natural Affinity

“Olive oil can be a great moisturizer for people with dry or sensitive skin helping seal in moisture and soften dry areas."

Olive oil shares a natural affinity with the skin’s own lipid structure. Its composition allows it to condition without disrupting balance, supporting comfort rather than masking it. This familiarity matters in daily use. A material the skin recognizes is less likely to feel foreign, heavy, or reactive over time. It wears quietly, allowing the formula to remain present without calling attention to itself. For Palio No. 1, olive oil is woven through the formula because it integrates rather than competes.
Daily sun protection asks more of a formula than occasional wear. It must remain stable through heat, movement, and long hours outdoors. Olive oil contributes to a texture that stays flexible throughout the day, resisting dryness and breakdown while maintaining a smooth, even feel. It supports the integrity of the formula under exposure, helping it remain comfortable from morning to evening. Protection should feel natural on the skin, not imposed upon it.
Olive oil has endured not because it is new, but because it continues to be useful. Long before modern skincare, it was applied to skin exposed to sun, wind, and labor. Its role has remained consistent across cultures and centuries for one reason: it works. Palio is built with the same philosophy. Materials are chosen for longevity, not trend. What lasts earns its place.
Olive oil is not a supporting detail in Palio No. One. It is the foundation. Chosen for its compatibility with skin, its performance under exposure, and its long record of use, it anchors the formula with intention. Every other material is built around it. Because what you wear every day should be designed to last.
Three UV filters: Avobenzone for UVA. Homosalate and octisalate for UVB. Tested to FDA standards for Broad Spectrum SPF 30. Chemical filters chosen over mineral ones to reduce whitecast absorb into the skin
The scent of Palio No.1 comes from orange peel, eucalyptus, and peppermint.
Aloe leaf juice, glycerin, and panthenol for a soft, hydrated feel.
Mica and a fine silica, milled to catch and soften light.
Water and emulsifiers drawn from the olive itself give the formula its body, alongside a plant gum.
