Our Best-Kept Secret for Silky Skin

Often the simplest things are the best, and that's definitely the case with our body oil blend! Sometimes when we are at a market, a customer will ask me (Polly) what my favorite product is. Without hesitation, I always point to our body oil blend. Maybe it is easily overlooked because the assumption may be that an oil would be... well... oily! We are happy to let you know that it absorbs so well that it won't leave your skin feeling greasy or oily. ​

Here's why we love this body oil blend so much!

• This feels amazing when applied to your skin right after a shower! If you want a long-lasting moisturizer that feels luxurious and smooth, this body oil blend is perfect. 
• If you're looking for a super-clean moisturizer, look no further. Since there's no water in this formula, there's no need for a preservative. You can choose an essential oil scent like Lavender Eucalyptus or Rosemary Mint for an all-natural choice, or even choose a fragrance-free option. All our fragrances are paraben- and phthalate-free.
• It's chock-full of goodness for your skin.
  • Argan oil (also known as Moroccan oil) contains antioxidants and vitamin E.
  • Jojoba oil is similar to your body's own natural oil, plus it's rich in vitamin E, vitamin B complex, copper, zinc, iodine, and fatty acids.
  • Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids (like lauric acid, capric acid, and caprylic acid) that have a number of benefits for the skin and hair.
  • Lanolin has been used for centuries and it's known for it's healing protection and antibacterial properties.
• This blend is also an oil cleanser that can remove make up and even waterproof mascara.
• It's gentle enough to use as a facial moisturizer. 
• Does your hair need some deep conditioning? You can work a few drops of this blend through the ends of your damp hair to moisturize and protect it. 

How Does This Compare to Baby Oil?

When it comes to moisturizing your skin with an oil, perhaps there's nothing more commonly known than commercially-produced baby oil. It's made by a number of manufacturers and marketed as a clean, pure, and gentle product. And seriously, who doesn't want skin as soft as a baby's skin, right?! Here's the difference. Baby oil is perfumed mineral oil. Mineral oil is a by-product of processing and refining crude oil. This means that mineral oil is a petroleum-based product. "Fragrance-free" petroleum-based products almost always have some type of fragrance in them to counter the bad scent from the production of the product itself. Mineral oil is a general term used to describe a variety of weights and grades of the crude-oil by-product. Some of it is more refined and food-safe, such as the mineral oil used to treat wooden cutting boards. It is used as a lubricant and even as a treatment for constipation!  ​
​
Another notable consideration is that mineral oil is not biodegradable. We love using plant-based oils and natural emollients (such as lanolin as opposed to petroleum jelly) and we're happy with the non-petrolatum products that we make!
