Bath & Body Oils to Soothe, Energize and Make You Feel Amazing
Body oils are one of those beauty products, that until recently, felt too special and out-of-touch with daily life. Right up there with the fabled goat’s milk and honey baths Cleopatra used to pamper her skin, body oils are a luxury reserved for the elite. Wrong! There are actually many practical reasons to add bath and body oils into your daily grooming and wellness practices.
-
Pure and Natural
Body oils tend to be less processed and are typically have very few ingredients. Unlike lotions, creams and body butters, body oils do not need preservative systems and ingredients that keep the formulas stable.
For those wanting to go green and simplify their routine, body oils are hard to beat.

Effective Hydration & Nourishment
High-quality body oils are often made with natural botanical oils that are rich in omega fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage, which can break down healthy cells and accelerate the aging process.
These oils are extremely emollient and quickly absorb into the skin for a plumped and hydrated feel. To get the most out of your oils, massage them into the skin after a shower, while the skin is still wet. This allows the oils to easily be applied to large areas of the skin. The extra moisture from the water allows for maximum absorption of the oils and all those skin-loving nutrients.

Aromatherapy Benefits
Essential oil are the soul of Source Vitál’s product line. They are the key to our holistic philosophy by connecting the body to the spirit.
Like nourishing botanical and vegetal oils, essential oils provide a number of benefits for the skin and help to support out mental health as well. When you use oils topically on the skin – diluted in a carrier oil – you are appreciating not only the internal benefits of the oil but also the aromatic properties.
The right blend of essential oils can create a natural elixir that serves to care for our concerns:
- Dehydration
- Improves the appearance of scars and rough-textured skin
- Promotes a clear, even-toned look to the skin
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Encourages the body’s natural detoxification processes
- Comforts aches and pains from exercise or overwork
- Diminishes the discomfort associated with swelling and fluid retention
- Naturally perfume the body

The original Multi-tasker
Think of all the reported uses of coconut oil. From hydrating the body to taming frizzy hair, oil pulling for healthy teeth, reducing the look of inflamed acne skin and so one. Many body oils offer a variety of uses.
Most body oils can safely be used topically on the skin and on the hair. As with any cosmetic, your individual skin type and hair texture will dictate what works best for you. As a general rule keep heavily scented oils away from the delicate facial skin and do not ingest!

Spa Day – At Home!
The textures and scents can transform your bathroom into a luxurious spa retreat. Draw a warm bath, add some mineral-rich Dead Sea salts and a few drops of your favorite body oils. This will diffuse the scent throughout your bathroom and allow you to soak up all that goodness.
A tip you can try is to first apply the oils directly to you skin and then get into the bath. The oils will have the chance to be absorbed into your skin, with any excess melting into your bath water. Breathe in the scents and let you worries float away!
