A rich and nourishing all over body oil.  Made with Sunflower Oil, Soybean Oil, Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Apricot Kernal Oil.  Perfect for after shower or any time you would normally use a body lotion, this oil is both moisturizing and lightweight!

The skin below your neck accounts for 91% of your body’s surface area—and it absorbs much of what you put on it. 

What’s in a Body Lotion?

Lotions are a mix of oil and water (or a water-like ingredient such as aloe) held together with an emulsifier—something that keeps the blend stable. Think of salad dressing: oil and water separate unless something suspends the mixture.

That emulsifier is usually lab-manufactured. While some newer options are plant-based and biodegradable, others, like the commonly used “emulsifying wax,” are ethoxylated, a process that involves the known carcinogen ethylene oxide and can produce byproducts like 1,4-dioxane, which is considered harmful to human and environmental health.

Most body lotions are roughly 65% water. And because any water-based formula can grow mold and bacteria, lotions must contain preservatives. Natural preservatives are improving, but none are perfect—and some can still cause allergic reactions.

What Makes Body Oil Different?

  • No water. Body oils made of oils alone, without the water component.
  • No emulsifiers. There’s no need to blend oil and water.
  • No preservatives. (Though they should contain antioxidants like vitamin E or rosemary to prevent rancidity and increase shelf life.)
  • Why Should I Switch to Body Oil?

Imagine this: you step out of the shower, towel off completely, then slather on a lotion made mostly of water, preservatives, and synthetic fragrance. Why would you apply mostly water to freshly dried skin and pay for potentially unhealthy ingredients your skin doesn’t need?

With a beautifully-crafted natural body oil, you provide the water—visible on your freshly showered, wet skin—and use your hands to mix the oil and water right there on your body. You become The Emulsifier. And the result? Moisture that lasts hours and velvety-soft skin. 

You may need to walk around naked for 3–4 minutes while it soaks in (not a bad thing, really), but once absorbed, you’ll feel soft, not greasy—and you’ll stay that way all day. And if you've tried body oil before and felt like an oil slick afterward, you probably either had the wrong formula (not all body oils are created equal) or applied it when your skin was too dry. 

 

Try it for two weeks. You’ll likely never go back.
