Effect of olive and sunflower seed oil on the adult skin barrier: implications for neonatal skincare The first cohort applied six drops of olive oil to one forearm twice daily for 5 weeks. The second cohort applied six drops of olive oil to one forearm and six drops of sunflower seed oil to the other twice daily for 4 weeks. The effect of the treatments was evaluated by determining stratum corneum integrity and cohesion, intercorneocyte cohesion, moisturization, skin-surface pH, and erythema. Topical application of olive oil for 4 weeks caused a significant reduction in stratum corneum integrity and induced mild erythema in volunteers with and without a history of atopic dermatitis. Sunflower seed oil preserved stratum corneum integrity did not cause erythema and improved hydration in the same volunteers.

In contrast to sunflower seed oil, topical treatment with olive oil significantly damages the skin barrier. It, therefore, has the potential to promote the development of and exacerbate existing atopic dermatitis.
The use of olive oil for the treatment of dry skin and infant massage should, therefore, be discouraged.
