What Are Body Oils & Bath Oils?
Body oils and bath oils are concentrated skincare products formulated with nutrient-rich natural oils, essential oils and skin-conditioning ingredients. When applied directly to the skin or added to bathwater, they help replenish moisture, soften the skin barrier and promote relaxation. Many users pair body oils with complementary skincare ranges such as Body Skincare, Facial Skincare, and Anti-Ageing products for a holistic approach to skin wellness.

Why Body Oils & Bath Oils Are Important
As the skin ages, its ability to retain moisture decreases. Environmental stress, weather changes, hot showers and frequent washing can further dry the skin. Body oils help replenish lost lipids and create a protective layer to keep the skin supple. Bath oils offer a gentle, restorative way to hydrate skin while delivering aromatherapy benefits. Many customers use body oils alongside supplements from Vitamins and Immune Support to support internal and external wellness.

FAQs – Body Oils & Aromatherapy Oils
Can body oil replace moisturiser?
Yes, body oils can replace moisturiser, but many people use both for deeper hydration—oil helps seal in moisture after applying lotion.
Is body oil suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Many oils are fragrance-free or use gentle botanical extracts that are ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.
Can I use body oil on my face?
Only if the oil is labelled facial-safe. Otherwise, body oils may be too rich for facial skin and could clog pores.
When should I apply body oil?
Apply after bathing when skin is still slightly damp for maximum absorption.
Do bath oils make the bathtub slippery?
Some formulas may; always rinse the bath after use and add oils gradually to avoid excess residue.
Are aromatherapy oils safe during pregnancy?
Certain essential oils should be avoided during pregnancy. Always check product guidance or consult a clinician.
Can body oils help with stretch marks?
While no product can remove stretch marks entirely, nourishing oils containing vitamins and omegas can help improve skin elasticity and appearance.
Do body oils clog pores?
Most high-quality botanical oils are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog pores when used on the body.
Is bath oil good for eczema-prone skin?
Bath oils can soothe dryness, but individuals with eczema should choose fragrance-free, dermatologically approved formulas.
Can I mix body oils with lotion?
Yes, combining a small amount of body oil with lotion enhances hydration and leaves the skin softer and smoother.
