BEAUTY & SKINCARE RESTORE YOUR ESSENTIAL YOU HERITAGE Olverum’s original bath oil was created in 1931 by winemaker Franz Otto Klein and his wife Edith, an accomplished pharmacologist. Passionate devotees of natural wellness, they curated an enviable library of the world’s finest essential oils. Inspired by the therapeutic blends at their favourite spa in Baden Baden, Franz and Edith combined these with their professional expertise to create the definitive therapeutic oil. The couple spent two years obsessively experimenting, until they finally arrived at a formulation with the preternatural restorative properties they sought. They gave their creation to friends as Christmas presents and the response was universally rapturous. As word spread, the OLVERUM brand was born and the Kleins became among the earliest pioneers of green beauty. Eighty-seven years later, their closely-guarded recipe has earned its reputation as a cult beauty classic.
