Body oil recommendation

[CrossCountryWoosh]

What is a lovely, scented and easily absorbed body oil.
I like citrus smells and tuberose(sp?).
I've been using Liha body oil but need something cheaper now.

I use the Byoma one which actually isn't scented but I then apply a scented body lotion on top to lock the oil in. The Byoma one isn't expensive and doesn't turn your bathroom into a death trap as it isn't all runny like most body oils!

@sunshinechaser thank you. I wonder whether I could add essential oils to a plain one? I dont want to use lots of products.

Nuxe - every time

@CrossCountryWoosh thanks. I've just seen they have a shimmery dry oil. I'm off to investigate! 🤣

Clarins Tonic body oil and Dr Hauschka Lemon Lemongrass are both beautiful and fresh and smell really therapeutic. They may not work out much cheaper though.

I also love Palmers Coco Butter body oil which is priced much better. It’s very oily though so use sparingly unless you have very dry skin.

I use almond oil with a few drops of essential oils, different scents according to mood. It goes a long way!
My favourites are frankincense, patchouli and oud.

Korres is lovely. I have a peach one I’ve been saving it for ages!

@StormingNorman thank you. I will look into Dr H.
I have used and liked Palmers before, but I try to be cruelty free now so it's not suitable anymore.

What? What do they do?

@StormingNorman they sell to China so have to test on animals or pay other companies to test.

Aveeno oil surprisingly smells really good

Just get some sweet almond oil (The Soapery on Amazon is cheapest) and add essential oils. Grapefruit, sweet orange, lemon and a bit of benzoin is really nice. Don't use citrus oils in the sun though.

I feel a bit queasy now. Something to think about.

L'Occitaine Supple Oil absorbs well.

Nuxe aren't cruelty free either (since 2018 looking online)
Nuxe is one of my favourite scents , I can only love the smell on other people .

Though I have found a shower gel (Faith in Nature) that has a Nuxe-ey smell

I don;t use body oil (CBA) but I use a Rituals moisturisung foam on high days'n'holidays

@70isaLimitNotaTarget yes, I realised that when I looked into it. 😔 Thanks for mentioning it in case I missed it though. Ah well, I don't know what it smells like so I'm not missing out on anything.

Stormingnorman Cruelty Free Kitty is a reliable website if you were interested. It's really hard though to work out where you stand on all the nuances though and very hard to be consistent. I just try to do my best.

If you follow Nina Poole on TikTok she shows how to make up a body wash using body oil and a small amount of unscented soap.

She used Palmers but you could use any brand I am sure.

I know this is not what you asked, but I am going to try it as I don't really like the feeling of straight body oil on my skin.
