Our body oil range runs from single-scent classics like coconut, almond, and lavender to perfumed blends, in sizes from small bottles up to 1 lb. They are made to absorb without a greasy finish, so you can use one straight after a shower as a moisturiser, wear it in place of a perfume, or warm a little between your palms for a massage.
Benefits of Body Oils
Body oils sit somewhere between a moisturiser and a fragrance. Because oil spreads further than lotion, a few drops cover a whole arm or leg, and scent carried in an oil base tends to sit closer to the skin and last longer than a spray. Lighter oils suit daily use after showering, while richer blends are often chosen for dry patches, elbows and knees, or for a slower massage. Many people keep a plain oil for everyday skin care and a perfumed one for evenings.
How to Choose a Body Oil
Decide first whether you want the oil mainly for your skin or mainly for scent. For skin, look to the plainer options such as coconut, almond, or cocoa butter blends, which are mild and easy to use daily — or start from an unscented carrier oil and scent it yourself. For scent, a perfumed body oil carries fragrance for hours without an alcohol base, which some people find gentler than a spray. If you have sensitive skin or a nut allergy, check the base ingredients and patch test a new oil on a small area first.
Popular Types
Everyday & Lightly Scented
Coconut, almond, aloe vera, and cocoa butter oils are mild, familiar, and comfortable to wear daily under clothing.
Perfumed & Evening
Musk, amber, sandalwood, and floral blends carry a stronger fragrance and are usually chosen for evenings or as a perfume alternative.
How to Use
Apply to damp skin straight after a shower — the residual water helps the oil spread and absorb. A few drops is enough for an arm or leg; warm it between your palms first, then smooth it on. For fragrance, apply at pulse points as you would a perfume. If you want the same scent through the room as well, our fragrance oils cover many of the same scents for burners. Keep bottles out of direct sunlight, avoid the eye area, and patch test any new oil before using it more widely.
