Olive oil is the prime component of the Mediterranean diet, but it has health and beauty benefits too.

They were first recognised by the ancient Mediterranean civilisations, and for centuries olive oil has helped generations of women to achieve nourished, firm and healthy looking skin.

Palmer’s has combined its expertise of rich moisturising formulas with the age-defying antioxidant benefits of Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil to create the Olive Butter Formula with Vitamin E range.

Consisting of a body lotion and a concentrated cream, the natural range helps to maintain a youthful glow while restoring health and moisture to dry dull skin.

Olive oil is rapidly and deeply absorbed upon application making it a highly effective daily moisturiser, whether it’s post-shower after a long day at the beach, or as a handy moisturiser when you’re on the go.

And best of all, you’re left with the light, lingering scent of the Mediterranean to remind you of your last holiday.

Experience the beauty benefits of Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil for yourself by entering this competition to win a Palmer’s Olive Butter Formula prize, worth £50, which includes Palmer’s Olive Butter Formula Lotion and Palmer’s Olive Butter Formula Concentrated Cream.
