Glow Inside and Out With Olivia Grove

Olive oil has many benefits, and not just for cooking, the Italians have been using it for years as a lip salve, in skincare and as a general health tonic. Its properties are many and plentiful and the team at Olivia Grove in Kirup have harnessed its anti-oxidant power by making a range of beautiful skincare products from their organic and spray free olives that you won’t be able to get enough of.

Owners Jann and Derek Louw’s dream was to live off the land and create products using natural goodness. They’ve succeeded with a beautiful range of skincare including Night Dew and Morning Mist moisturising lotions, Replenishing Lavender products and a nasties free Bub’s Own range. They also make natural soaps and of course gourmet extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), straight from the grove to you.
