My comment:

Es que si dices que es un gel que contiene aceite de oliva y luego añades "sin / libre de aceite", la verdad es que no tiene sentido. Yo creo que se refiere a que no produce grasa en la piel. Por eso me inclino más por esta opción.
Saludos y suerte

Exactamente lo que diría, pues además de la contradicción, no se trata de un producto comestible.

aceite mineral?

My comment:

I'm not sure what kind of oil the gel is supposed to be free of. Olive oil is "oil", so it wouldn't be correct to call it "oil-free". Also, it depends on what the gel is for; is it a cosmetic product or is it a food product? "Fat-free" is used for foods exclusively. Maybe this gel is free of "unnatural" oils such as mineral oil, which is made from petroleum. In that case, you would have to specify "free of petroleum byproducts" or something similar.

My comment:

La traducción literal correcta está en la respuesta de abajo.

Pero si la pregunta es: ¿un gel exfoliante con aceite de oliva debe denominarse "libre de aceite" o "libre de grasa"? la respuesta es la siguiente:

El aceite de oliva tiene grasas insaturadas (ver cita más abajo sobre tipos de grasas).

1. Saturated fats (the least desirable kind of fat) are found in fast foods, pastries, pies, cakes, biscuits and also in fatty meats and full-cream dairy products.

2. Polyunsaturated fats – one type is found in many vegetable oils while another valuable omega 3 type occurs in linseeds and fish. Canola, walnuts and soy bean oil also contain small amounts of omega 3 fat.

3. <b>Monounsaturated fats are found in most nuts, olive oil,</b> avocado, macadamia nut oil and canola oil.

My comment:

if the product contains olive oil, can I say it is oil free or should it be fat free?
si el producto contiene aceite de oliva, se puede decir que es "sin aceite" o debiera decirse "sin grasas"?
