Olive Spa pt.1
Olivia Spa is a local company from where I grew up. They are woman’s owned and located in Phx, Arizona. I either purchased or was sent products and here are my honest reviews:
lip balms (6/10)- I love the ingredients and how they smell. They work but are a little too oily for my liking. I feel like I have to put a lot on but it makes them smooth
sore muscle stick (9/10)- smells just like tiger balm. I like it more than tiger balm because of the stick form, it makes it a lot easier to apply. I use it for my Costochondritis. Works fairly well but obviously not a miracle worker.
Lotion stick (10/10)- my all time favorite product from here. I had a dry skin issue on my eyelid and this was the only thing that made it work. I had tried Vaseline, Aquaphor, and other lotions but nothing else worked.
Bug stick (8/10)- works fairly well. not much to say about it. I use it after I do the cross method on mosquito bites as well as on ant bites. Works better on mosquito bites.

Discovering local gems like Olive Spa in Phoenix, Arizona, has been such a journey, and I’m excited to share more about why I think supporting businesses like this is so rewarding. Beyond just the products, there's a whole story behind a woman-owned brand that focuses on handmade, eco-friendly offerings right in our community. It’s not just about what you put on your skin, but also about the values you support. When I first stumbled upon Olive Spa, I was immediately drawn to their ethos. Knowing that each item, from invigorating lip balms infused with scents like lavender and orange blossom to soothing sore muscle rub sticks with eucalyptus, is crafted with care makes a huge difference. It feels more personal, more authentic, compared to mass-produced alternatives. Many of us are looking for skincare solutions that are not only effective but also align with our desire to live more sustainably and support local economies. Olive Spa perfectly fits that bill, and it’s something you can truly feel good about. Let's talk a bit more about the sheer practicality and unique benefits of these types of products. Take the lotion stick, for example. I'd struggled with a persistent dry patch on my eyelid, and honestly, after trying everything from Vaseline to Aquaphor, this lotion stick was a game-changer. It’s not just about moisturizing; it's about providing targeted relief with ingredients that truly benefit the skin. The convenience of a stick form for both lotion and the sore muscle rub, which smells wonderfully like tiger balm, is something I now can't live without. No messy hands, just direct application where you need it most. And for those pesky outdoor moments, their bug bite itch relief stick becomes an essential, especially after dealing with a few too many mosquito encounters. What truly resonates with me is the commitment to quality and natural ingredients. The lip balms, even if a tad oily for my personal preference, are packed with nourishing components, offering a smooth finish and delightful natural aromas like vanilla bean or spearmint. It's clear that attention is paid to every detail, from the choice of ingredients to the handmade crafting process. This care translates into products that make a real difference, not just for my skin, but also in my daily routine. Choosing Olive Spa means choosing quality, supporting a local Phoenix business, and embracing a more eco-conscious approach to beauty. I genuinely encourage anyone looking for effective, ethically-made skincare to give them a try – you might just find your new favorite go-to!
