Application
Can be used when desired to soften and moisturize the skin. For best results, apply to damp skin after the bath or shower to lock in moisture. For scaly or flaky skin, gently exfoliate with a mitt or loofah to remove dead skin cells before applying body oil.
Natural Scent
This blend was inspired by the refreshing and bitter notes of a frosty Aperol Sprit on a long summer day. Citrusy notes from mandarin, blood orange and grapefruit are mellowed out by the luxurious florals of petitgrain and neroli from the bitter orange tree and rich & heady jasmine. A hint of hemlock and coriander seed add the perfect herbal backdrop, similar to fragrant bitters on a sweet cocktail.
Our body oils feature oils high omega 3 and 6 fatty acids which gives them their light, quick absorbing skin feel but also makes them more prone to oxidation. We've countered this by including Vitamin E and meadowfoam to slow down this process. By storing your body oils out of sun and heat you will boost its shelf life.
Please note the natural colour of our body oils can also change over time (especially with sun exposure) but this will not effect efficacy.

FAQ
Aren't body oils greasy?
It depends! Some body oils are way too rich because they contain slow absorbing oils like coconut oil or olive oil. Not ours! We consciously formulated our body oils to feel lightweight. We use oils with the right fatty acids for quick absorption and a silky-matte finish.
Can I use it year round?
You sure can! Body oils are really lovely for the warmer months because they feel lightweight and breathable (even more so than a lotion!). They're great in winter though you may want something richer when the really dry weather hits.
Can I use it on my face?
We don't recommend it. This is because body products have higher dermal limits for essential oils than facial products. Our body oil scents are incredible; subtle and authentic, but they're not formulated for facial dermal limits (with the exception of Maracya Body Oil which doesn't contain any essential oils!)
Body Oils vs Lotions vs Whipped Butters
Body oils and whipped butters are anhydrous (waterless). They don't contain water. Lotions and creams contain water which makes them hydrating and moisturizing. Body oils and butters can be applied while the skin is damp to trap moisture and better hydrate skin but they technically don't 'hydrate'
