At the moment Mercadona is the supermarket chain with the largest market share in Spain, although Lidl continues to climb positions year after year with its strategy of “better quality at the most competitive price” in its products. Beyond cosmetic and food products in the establishments we can find articles of all kinds: household appliances, pajamas, DIY tools … Now Lidl has put on sale its own version of body cream with olive oil, one of the most successful products of Mercadona. Lidl launches a product to rest this summer that sweeps sales Both products have exactly the same name, “body cream with olive oil”. Most surprising of all, the appearance of cosmetics is also very similar. A white jar with a green lid and an olive drawn on the packaging, but there is still more! And it is that the two body creams have the same active principles: shea butter, olive oil, glycerin and vitamin E, as well as other extra ingredients such as water, various perfumes and alcohol The main difference between the cosmetic that we can find in Lidl and in Mercadona it is the manufacturer. In the case of the Valencian chain, the cosmetics company RNB is in charge of its production, while in the German chain the manufacturer of the product is Quimi Romar. The price is not the same either. The packaging for the “body cream with olive oil” is 250 milliliters, but at Mercadona it is worth 1.25 euros, and at Lidl, 1.19 euros. It is one of Mercadona’s most successful products. They are sold 1.5 million units per month, so now it remains to be seen if it will also succeed in Lidl stores. What are the benefits of olive oil for the skin?The value for money of this product is unbeatable. In addition, olive oil is a fabulous natural ingredient to take care of the skin in depth at any stage of life. Thanks to its high content of vitamins A and E, it nourishes the skin, leaving it supple, soft and radiant.
