Why Use a Body Oil?

Body oils help seal moisture into the skin, especially after bathing. Unlike many commercial lotions, natural oils work in harmony with the skin barrier, delivering vitamins, essential fatty acids, and long-lasting hydration.

This recipe is suitable for daily use and works well for dry, normal, and combination skin types.

Ingredients

• 50ml Jojoba Oil – closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum and absorbs easily (Huked Jojoba Oil)
• 30ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil – rich in antioxidants and deeply nourishing (Huked Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
• 15ml Sweet Almond Oil – softens skin and improves elasticity (Huked Sweet Almond Oil)
• 5ml Vitamin E Oil – helps protect skin and extend shelf life (Huked Vitamin E Oil)
• Optional: 10–15 drops essential oil (lavender, frankincense, or ylang ylang)

How to Make the Body Oil

1. Sterilise a clean glass bottle or jar and allow it to dry completely.
2. Measure and pour all carrier oils into the container.
3. Add the vitamin E oil and optional essential oils.
4. Close the bottle and gently shake to blend everything together.
5. Label your bottle with the date and ingredients.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to damp skin after bathing or showering. Massage gently until absorbed. A little goes a long way.

This oil can also be used for massage, after sun exposure, or as a glow oil for special occasions.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. When stored properly, this body oil can last up to 6–9 months thanks to the vitamin E oil.

Customisation Tips

• For very dry skin, increase olive oil slightly.
• For oily skin, increase jojoba oil and reduce heavier oils.
• Add a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus for a refreshing feel.
