Body Oil
A body oil lives or dies on absorption. Modern blends built on squalane and light esters give a dry-touch finish that gets repurchased, where heavier traditional oils get used once and abandoned.

Frequently asked
What makes a body oil dry-touch?
The oil blend. Lighter esters and squalane absorb quickly, while heavier traditional oils sit on the surface. It is the formulation choice that determines repurchase.
Do body oils need preservatives?
Anhydrous oil formulas contain no water, so they need little or no preservative system, though antioxidants are still added to prevent the oils going rancid.
