#3 Portland Series: Meet Paola LaMorticella, Founder of Olio E Osso.

Introducing Olio E Osso.

Founded by makeup artist and stylist Paola LaMorticella, Olio E Osso offers a range of self-care products like cleansing oils, facial serums, and body oils—all formulated with high-quality, natural ingredients and free from harmful chemicals such as parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. We love their versatile balms, which come in a range of sun-kissed shades and their antioxidant-rich body oil, which comes in a perfectly giftable package.

Paola LaMorticella knows skin care and we were delighted to tour her space.

Located in NE Portland and a short drive from the store we arrived to freshly baked pumpkin muffins, hot tea and the magical (and scientific - cause that's a lot of formula math) world that is Olio E Osso.

Let's go see...

Of course Paola has a walking treadmill in her office (she's also an avid hiker)!

We started our tour by asking a few questions about all things skincare.

No huffing and puffing, just a chic Q+A in her Sorel clogs!

Describe Olio E Osso in a few sentences:

Olio E Osso is an apothecary line of skincare and tinted balms that can be used in many diverse ways to nourish your skin in a natural way.

What is your everyday item you use from Olio E Osso?

The salva - the moisturising face oil - everyday!

Can you share with us your top winter skin tips?

Drink lot of water. Do not over exfoliate, use a balance of moisturise and use sunscreen everyday!

What is Olio E Osso's best seller?

Can I choose two?! The Bel Corpo Body Oil and the No 2 balm.

Made right here in Portland, Oregon

From beauty editor favorite to the darling of Vogue - Olio E Osso makes the perfect skincare line for you or a gift.

Gwyneth Paltrow recently told Vogue 'the balm is my secret weapon that I carry in my purse at all times'. The products look, feel and smell luxurious without that high end price tag,

My favourite gift (for myself and others) is the multipurpose balm. I take them back to England when I visit family and they look great on all age ranges - my mid 40 mum pals to my Mum's 75 year old cheeks and everyone in between.
