#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 LaMorticellaknowsskin 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?
  
 
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.
 
 
Meet Paola @ The Yo Store and receive a Complimentary Facial.
