Does olive oil irritate the skin?

1

Olive oil has been reported to cause contact allergy in some individuals, although which component causes olive oil to be irritating could not be found. However, it was proposed in a 1997 study in the journal Contact Dermatitis that olive oil is a very weak irritant in general, but bears relevant irritant capacity when applied to patients with venous insufficiency and associated eczema of the lower extremities.
