Korean beauty is no longer limited to what we apply to the skin. Increasingly, consumers are looking at sleep, nutrition, hydration and everyday wellness habits as part of their beauty routine. This growing category—often called inner beauty or K-wellness—focuses on supporting a healthy appearance through daily lifestyle choices.
One of the latest trends is the olive oil shot: a portable serving of extra-virgin olive oil, often blended with lemon, tomato, pomegranate or other fruit juice. Interest in olive oil and lemon juice has surged in Korea alongside the “healthy pleasure” and slow-ageing movements. Olive Young reported major increases in searches for both lemon juice and olive oil as the olive-lemon-shot routine spread through social media.
Olive oil and its key health benefits.
Why Olive Oil Has Become Part of the Beauty Conversation
Extra-virgin olive oil is a central part of the Mediterranean diet and naturally contains monounsaturated fats, vitamin E and plant compounds known as polyphenols.
As part of a balanced diet, olive oil can:
- Provide beneficial unsaturated fats.
- Contribute antioxidant compounds to the diet.
- Help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients from food.
- Offer a convenient alternative to highly processed sauces and fats.
- Support a broader Mediterranean-style eating pattern.
The beauty connection is mainly indirect. Good nutrition, adequate dietary fats and antioxidant-rich foods can support general health, which may also influence how the skin and hair look over time. However, olive oil shots are foods rather than medicines, and they should not be described as products that whiten skin, erase wrinkles, cure constipation or directly cause weight loss.
The popularity of ready-to-drink olive shots is therefore less about a single miracle ingredient and more about convenience: consumers can add measured olive oil and fruit juice to their daily routine without carrying a full bottle or mixing the ingredients themselves.
1. BBLAB — Organic Olive Dual Shot
BBLAB is an inner-beauty brand operated by Korean wellness company Nutrione. The brand became widely recognised for collagen products before expanding into portable olive oil shots.
In 2026, BBLAB introduced Olively, a wellness label centred on olive oil and whole-food-inspired daily rituals. Its Dual Shot range combines olive oil with fruit juice in individual stick packs designed for convenient consumption. The current range includes lemon, tomato, pomegranate and blood orange varieties.

Best Seller: Organic Olive Lemon Dual Shot 65:35
BBLAB’s signature product blends:
- 65% organic extra-virgin olive oil
- 35% organic NFC lemon juice
- Spanish organic ingredients
- Portable 20 g stick packaging
- Ten servings per box
The oil uses the Picual olive variety, while NFC means the lemon juice is not made from concentrate. BBLAB’s Korean product listing describes it as a simple olive-and-lemon food product that can be consumed directly from the pack.
Its global store currently lists the 65:35 Olive Lemon Dual Shot among the brand’s best sellers, alongside a milder 50:50 version and multi-box bundles.

2. LATIB — Olive Lemon Shot
LATIB is a Korean food and wellness brand specialising in cold-pressed juices, shot drinks, plant-based meals and structured nutrition programmes.
Its Olive Lemon Shot uses a distinctive two-part bottle that keeps the components separated until consumption. This format helps create a freshly combined olive-and-lemon experience while giving the product a more premium presentation.

Ways to use olive oil.
How to Use Olive Oil Shots
Follow the directions printed on the individual product. Most are designed to be shaken and consumed directly, although some can also be added to salad, yoghurt or other foods.
There is no requirement to consume them on an empty stomach unless a brand specifically recommends it. People with reflux, sensitive digestion or difficulty tolerating rich foods may find olive oil uncomfortable when taken alone and may prefer to have it with a meal.
Because olive oil is calorie-dense, a shot should be considered part of the day’s overall food intake rather than a calorie-free beauty drink.
Important Note
These products are packaged foods and wellness drinks, not treatments for disease. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a medical condition, taking medication or following a medically restricted diet should check the ingredient label and consult a qualified healthcare professional when appropriate.
Product composition, pricing, availability and packaging may change. Always confirm the latest information on the brand’s official website before purchasing.
