Olverum Body Oil
Luscious and luxurious with a scent which lingers long after you’ve applied it, Olverum is a firm favourite with the Royals and after using it, you’ll know why. The Body Oil (£40) which comes in a slim, attractive bottle, is one of two new products to be launched – the first in decades for the brand. Containing everything your skin could possibly need, The Body Oil smells heavenly while plumping and rejuvenating skin thanks to raspberry seed oil which is a potent anti oxidant and rich in Omegas 3, 6, and 9.
Alaria esculenta extract meanwhile, will boost the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, while the oil also soothse the mind and body thanks to aromatherapeutic actives like lavender flower oil, sandalwood and frankincense.
100% natural and vegan, as well as fast absorbing and non sticky, Olverum oils will replenish the skin’s micronutrients and at the same time, leave you smelling gorgeous!
