What is a body oil?
Body oil is a type of moisturizer that is primarily composed of plant-based oils and is used to nourish and hydrate the skin on the body. Body oils are typically non-greasy and fast-absorbing compared to heavy body butters or lotions. They create an occlusive barrier on the skin to seal in moisture without a heavy, greasy feel.
What are some of the benefits of body oil?
- Deeply hydrates and moisturizes dry, dehydrated skin
- Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging
- Soothes and heals dry, cracked skin
- Improves skin texture and elasticity with regular use
- Provides a healthy, glowing complexion
- Can help reduce stress and promote relaxation when massaged into skin
