Olverum
The self-care brand Olverum grew from the passion of German winemaker Franz Otto Klein and his wife Edith, and their love of travel and essential oils. In 1931 the couple created an exceptional therapeutic oil, inspired by the spa towns of Baden-Baden. The Second World War brought production to a halt, but the recipe was buried in the garden, allowing their son Peter to resume the work in 1948. He named it Olverum, from oleum verum (“true oil”).
For many years it remained a well-kept secret, until Michael Hawksley discovered the brand in 1984 and secured exclusive distribution rights for the United Kingdom. In 2014 his family took over the brand entirely, and in 2015 Michael’s son Dominic relaunched Olverum with a modern look, without losing its rich heritage.
- Spa heritage and therapeutic benefits in luxurious self-care products
- Carefully selected botanical and mineral active ingredients
- Made without artificial preservatives, fragrances, colourants, silicones or sulphates
