I had been using concoction of almond oil and coconut oil for years. I was being introduced to olive oil through various beauty blogs. I was not really aware of the effectiveness of this oil. Whenever I suffer from dandruff or any kind of hair problem, I switch to this oil and yes I am really satisfied with the results. Today I am going to discuss my experience with Figaro Olive Oil.

Figaro Olive Oil Review |
Figaro olive oil comes in a green rectangular shaped can with a green screw cap lid. I really don’t like the screw cap as it is difficult to pour the oil onto the hands due to its wide mouth. It creates a mess around the mouth of the bottle making it totally travel unfriendly. The cap of the bottle comes sealed to make sure that it has not been opened or used. Once you open the cap, make sure to keep the bottle straight to avoid creating a mess onto your dressing. The smell of the oil is very mild and pleasant and won’t bother sensitive noses.
The consistency of the oil is slightly thick as compared to almond and coconut oil. The oil itself is pale green in color but looks light yellow when poured on hands. I always warm the oil, apply it onto my scalp and hair, massage it gently (I have oily scalp with dry ends!) and leave it overnight to get utmost results out of it. The oil is a bit difficult to wash off and I need two washes to avoid leaving my scalp greasy and oily. My hair feels very soft, silky and shiny after wash. It helps in reducing dandruff to a great extent and stimulates hair growth. If you have extremely oily hair, you can mix it with coconut oil in the ratio of 1:1.
Olive oil is a versatile product and can used in a variety of ways. I use it as an eye makeup remover. Just dab a small amount of olive oil on a cotton ball, pat it on the lids, wait for few seconds and swipe it across the lids. It removes all waterproof mascara and liners well. Don’t forget to swipe the excess oil with a clean and dry cotton wool. During winters when my skin becomes dry, I mix two to three drops of olive oil with body lotion to get extra nourishment. Though olive oil is also used for oil cleansing but I won’t recommend using this brand as it contains both refined and extra virgin olive oil. One must use only extra virgin oil on face to prevent clogging of pores.

Figaro Olive Oil Review |
• Mild and pleasant smell.
• Good consistency.
• Makes my hair soft, smooth and shiny.
• Helps in reducing dandruff.
• Can be used as an eye makeup remover.
• Can be mixed with body lotion.
CONS:
• I really don’t like the tin packaging.
• Pricey.
Overall Thoughts:
Figaro olive oil is pale green in color with right consistency. It has mild and pleasant smell and won’t bother sensitive noses. It makes my hair soft, smooth, silky and shiny. It helps in reducing dandruff to a great extent. It can also be used to remove waterproof eye makeup. If you are suffering from dry skin then mix it with body lotion and all you have is soft and supple skin. Since it is not purely extra virgin olive oil it is not recommended to be used on face. This is one of the best olive oil I have ever used. I shall definitely recommend it to everyone.

Hey Megha, a very well written review.
ReplyDeleteI have been purchasing Figaro for almost 8-9 years now. From all the Olive oil sold in India, this one is the best.
And I too hate the rectangular tin. It becomes a bit messy over the time. I usually transfer it in another bottle.
Nice and informative post : )
Love,
platinumdivinity.blogspot.in
P.S. Bought Patanjali's Aloe Vera gel. Its one AWESOME product. Totally hooked to it. Even I have an oily skin and very few products stay on 're-purchasing list'. Thanx a ton for introducing me to this product.
Thanx so much Shivali :)
DeleteTransferring to another bottle is a great idea. 8-9 years!!! Is this is ur fav oil n secret behind ur pretty hair?
Yeah thats one of the best product from patanjali. Keeps acne n pimples at bay. Rose water is fab too.
this is a very good product.. if you check most of pure olive oils are costly.. I agree they should do something about packaging.. I hate this tin box
ReplyDeleteYeah most of the olive oils are pricey. Yeah the packaging is really annoying.

Thanx Veronica :)
DeleteI like the way the packaging looks
ReplyDeleteYeah it looks good but is very clumsy :(
DeleteNice review, Megha! The product also looks goods (except the package):)
ReplyDeleteThanx Egle!
DeleteIts indeed an effective oil but yeah i too hate the packaging.
Nice review Megha. I have been using this one for a few years on body mainly in the winters. it is very nourishing for the skin. On hair, yes it is a little difficult to take off and I completely agree on the packing part, does catch dust around the mouth even on storing properly.
ReplyDeleteThanx Gaganpreet!
DeleteI too mix few drops of oil in body lotion in winters.
I hate the packaging. Figaro must work on the packaging.
Hi Megha, Nice review..
ReplyDeleteCan i use this oil for my baby body massage. she is 45 days only.
Is there any side impact for her in future.
Thanks
Thanx dear!
DeleteYup my bhabhi gives body massage to my nephew. Its safe n recommended by some doctors!
Hey megha, even I use the same brand for oiling my hair with 1:1 ratio of coconut oil :P
ReplyDeleteI am experimenting with Dove Elixir now since I am seeing a bit of hairfall again (may b bcz of weather change). Let me see if Dove can rescue :)
This is a fab oil. It really helped in reducing dandruff. Let me know how Dove Elixir is :)
DeleteAwesome review Megha.. Have to agree that olive oil is the best.. I use this product dear and don't like the tin package too :-)
ReplyDeleteThanx Nilu. Yeah the packaging is not good.
DeleteHi megha..can this oil works on hair splitens also...i have bought the oil today.
ReplyDeleteHi Ashwini i dont think it would help in treating split ends.
Deletei used figaro oil for a month..bt i feel im loosing more hair after using it..:(
ReplyDeleteOhhhh it means it doesnt suit u. I usually warm it before applying!
DeleteMegha,
ReplyDeleteToday I bought Figaro Olive oil for my 9 month old baby, body massage after i got many feedback from friends and relatives. Curious to know, Is this Good Health? better for Skin? Improve skin color ? - Thanks, Sathish
Yeah its good for baby massage. It keeps the skin soft n healthy. I dont think it would lighten skin color.
DeleteThanks for your Reply Megha. Can you please tell me, there is any oil / lotion helps lighten baby's skin color?
DeleteI dont think there is any product to lighten skin color and if there is any it wont be good for a baby as they have very sensitive skin!
DeleteHi This is Jagruti
DeleteYou can apply a pinch of Kesar mix in Milk Cream & apply on baby body while massage or before bath this can definitely effect skin color with no side effect
Wow this is a fab tip Jagruti. Thank u :)
DeleteHi,even I bought this oil for massaging my 9 mnth old son as my aunty recommended it..but I bought this oil in regular bottle packing ,100ml quantity for rs.115...and 'Spanish product' is written on it ..I hope it is original...
ReplyDeleteBut my question is can my son catch cold after applying it...I m feeling so bcos he is having congestion in his nose frm last 2 days .i.e frm day I started using this oil...may I m wrong may b this can b due to whether change...
What do you say ?
Hi Aditi
DeleteThis oil is available in variant quantities so u got the original product.
I dont it causes cold as my bhabhi is using it on my nephew since 3 years. But becos u r skeptical try to avoid using it for few days n see if ur child feels good. Every product acts differently on each person.
I m recently Using Figaro for Body massage to my 7 month Babydoll
ReplyDeleteis it ok if sometime touch to her face massage
please reply me
her skin is very dry n having some dryness in head also
What wod you suggest mam
Please reply
Yeah it wont cause any harm to babys skin. I think dryness can be controlled if u use this oil for body massage. Regarding dryness on head u can ask ur doctor.
DeleteHair fall control krta h kya or growth hote h hairs ke .i lv long hairs or plz tell me,mai use kro ya nh plz
ReplyDeleteU can use it dear. Its a good oil.

Thnks Megha for your review.But as you dont recommend to use it on face this FIGARO olive oil, so may i know which type of olive oil we can use it on face for fare glow...???
ReplyDeleteUse extra virgin olive oil on face. it wont clog the pores!
Deletehey megha how often can we use this oil...means can we use it twice or thrice in a week....usually i wash ma hair two to three times a week so i wanted to use it before every wash...can i do so...plz reply...thanks ...nice review by the way..:)

DeleteI heard extra virgin olive is good for hair and cooking. But this Figaro product is having mix of the extra virigin and refined olive oil.

No Adithya there is no extra virgin olive oil from Figaro as per my knowledge!

ReplyDeleteNo I have not seen thickness or increase in length using this oil but it keeps hair healthy & in good condition!
