I LOVED this lotion! My skin has been very dry, to the point were iv had white flaky skin on legs and arms! I work in a well air conned shop and have neglected moisturising for awhile :S ! So this is one of the only lotions that have sorted it! It's as rich as the cocoa lotion but without the chocolate stench which can be too overpowering at times. It leaves my skin feeling so soft without being tacky and the hydration lasts for a good 24H so once a evening should be sufficient! Plus that olive oil is Sooo good for the skin! Keeps it looking young! Plus love that it has Vitamin E! A great everyday lotion for dry skin and a bargain at £3.50!

I love this stuff. My dad had a buy 2 get free1 offer and he just got it. Then, I asked him if I could have one bottle. Thankfully, he said yes. It was the first time I put it on my skin and after like 2 minutes my skin felt magically soft.....:) The texture is a nice kinda wet, thick feeling with a fresh light smell. Olive is supposed to be SUPERB for skin, so this was gr8. Thank you Palmers!!!x

The consistency of this cream is very thick, making it hard to spread

I've been using this lotion for ages and loving it! The price is reasonable and you get more than what you spend! It leaves my skin soft and moist and it also leaves nice natural scent. Once I stumbled upon this never change to another lotion ever!

Excellent product. No cons, just pros:
The packaging is an attractive green colour and is safe for travelling.
The consistency is not too thin and not too thick, perfect for after your shower and is perfect for all over body, even oilier torso-areas.
It moisturises and hydrates really well and absorbs surprisingly fast, especially since it is an olive butter!
The scent is really fresh and non-offensive, surprisingly!
It's very affordable.
It does not clog skin.
The ingredients are high quality.
This is one of my new favourite products, I use it every day. :)

I much prefer this than the original cocoa butter. First of all, the cloying scent of cocoa butter give me a terrible headache every time i use it. This scent is not too olive-y yet fresh. The lotion really sink in and moisturises my skin (especially my limbs). It can leave a slightly oily film on my body but it's still works better than other body moisturiser/lotion i've tried (example: Jergens)

If you live in a hot tropical place like Singapore and dislike that oily film it leaves on your body, you can add a little more water to dilute out the lotion which also helps with the absorption.

Pros:
- ok moisturising
- affordable pump bottle

Cons:
- disliked smell (morning fresh)
- consistency which left strange residue on my skin

This product was ok for using on legs, but would not repurchase as it left a weird residue (didn't really absorb into skin).

I expected more from this company.
Ingredients list looks ok so i don't know why I don't see any good results for my skin.
It absorbs quickly-nice, leave no smell-nice, and then-nothing special. My skin is not dry but not as moisturized as with baby oil used on a wet skin and wiped with towel. And its more expensive so why be bothered?

This is the best body moisturiser for my skin, I have only been using it for about a month. Put it on after I shower and it absorbs easily and my skin feels silky. My boyfriend even commented on how soft my skin is.
What really sold me on this product was how it left my skin on the butt cheeks, don't laugh, hear me out. For years since late adolescence I have had tiny whiteheads and breakouts on my butt. No matter what I did, they just wouldn't go away. I tried exfoliation, toning and even went as far as to go to the beach and sun my butt cheeks to get a dose of ultra violet light. Alas, no gypsy. After using this product, they went away without a trace, zap, gone! Now I have an illusive smooth as a baby's bottom.
So stoked :)

My mum bought this for me and since then this become my favourite product from Palmers and goes well with the Olive Oil conditioner which makes it a fine collection :)


The texture and smell smells so fresh and radiant. I love how their packed with antioxidants and anti-aging properties so, it's kind of a less way to invest more products when you can trust this as one and I do see how it benefits my skin.


I've only been using it for a couple of months but, I'll definitely keep using it as part of my everyday lotion.
The packaging and price is reasonable. The bottle is handy at home it won't be a obvious thing to carry around while your out but, the price is worth the buy.

I wanted to try this out after finishing my bottle of the original cocoa butter lotion also by Palmers. I love this product just as much as the cocoa butter one. It smells nice, goes on thick, but absorbs into the skin nicely. I use this straight after a shower and it leaves my skin feeling super soft afterwards. It isn't as greasy as other body butter lotions that I have tried, but if you do use too much, it can come off a bit on the greasy side. Overall, I do love this product, and I love the scent too. I can't decide which one I like better; cocoa butter or olive! I will definitely be buying more. A must-have for me!!

I tried this as a sample and FELL IN LOVE. I bought it in a double pack so I got 1 kg (like 2 pounds?) for $15 or something. It has a great smell, not overpowering like the cocoa butter one (I can find it too strong) and soaks well into skin. I use it at least once a week, mainly on my face (which works great!). I found that in hotter months, I could mix it with a bit of water in a bottle and used so it is not as thick. The Vitamin E in it has helped reduce some of my small scars, such as burns or scratches, and I think that this is the greatest moisturiser I have used for my whole body (including face). Definitely will buy again.

Please note: It worked on my face, please be super careful if you have sensitive skin as it does have added fragrance. I don’t want you to have a sore face if you don’t know to be careful!!! Test a small area on the body to check if you have a reaction first.

I'm okay with this, but I feel this is thicker than the Cocoa Butter and doesn't get absorbed as readily into the skin as compared to Cocoa Butter in the hot climate like Singapore's.

Prefer Cocoa Butter to this... The smell of Cocoa Butter is heavenly too. :)

I really like this stuff. It smells like most other olive oil/olive butter items I've tried- which is slightly fruity but light and fresh.

This can be hard to find, I think - I can only find it at ULTA, and sometimes at Sally Beauty. Also at some certain spots in the city at Walgreens.

I can't stand the scent of cocoa butter - never have liked it - it almost turns my stomach - that and anything too vanilla-y. It just smells so rich - like walking past a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse does the same thing - the smell is too rich (even foods! - steaks, lobsters, just heavy butter smell).

The formula can seem kind of sticky at first, but it settles nicely and quickly sets into your skin, I find. But my skin is usually so dry that it probably just drinks it right up!

This is a lighter-weight lotion and people might like it best for spring/summer.

I have this in a tube form. I usually steer clear of moisturisers but was forced to use one when my skin turned very dry during a trip to a cold country. Love it! It sinks right into the skin, and does not have a coying scent (like the cocoa butter range), and did not irritate my skin (which the shea butter one did). Compared to other body moisutrisers, this is so good, because it sinks right in, moisturises well (did not suffer from itchy red skin, which I do if I do not apply moisturisers when I am in cold countries), relatively cheap, contains an active natural ingredient and no bad/ coying smell.

My sister in law's brother in law is some kind of exec at Palmer's, and she had tons of bottles of this lotion last time we visited. She noticed I kept going back for more from the bottle she had at the sink, so she gave me a bottle, & said she didn't particularly love it. I really like it! I've liked all the Palmer's cocoa butter products I'd tried but I had never seen this olive butter lotion before. I like the smell and it moisturizes pretty well - for how thick it comes out of the bottle it absorbs really well. Does not contain lanolin (which I am purportedly allergic to although I've been having doubts - could be my mother's propaganda! lol) and it contains certified organic olive oil. Olive oil is good for your body inside and out and can be used in lots of skin and body care applications. My skin has really liked this lotion so far, and when I run out I will buy more if I can find it.

Decided to get this body moisturiser on a whim. I like it a lot! It comes out as a thick green cream, but surprisingly sinks in really well into the skin. It leaves no greasy residue or after-feeling at all, which is a big plus for me because I absolutely detest the stickiness of lotions. The only reason why I gave it 4 lippies instead of 5 is because I don't think it's as moisturising as it should be. My skin is not particularly dry, so it works well for me for me now, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up in winter. Besides, I'll love to try other body lotions!

This is super good value for money! The lotion has a light scent which will not overpower any fragrance if you decide to use one after applying the body lotion. Absorbs very quickly and non greasy. Like heaps!

Delicious lotion! This is great for applying all over after a shower (or anytime really). I like the scent, which I think kind of smells flowery without being sweet. It comes out of the bottle very thick, but then easily soaks into skin with a light, almost watery feel that's totally refreshing. I love that I'm not at all greasy after application, yet my skin is completely moisturized with that satiny, light-reflecting quality that really rich lotions give you.
