Where can i find omani body oil?

Where can I find decent body oil for a decent price?

  • Me and my skin recently discovered that we both like body oil a lot more than lotion. The stuff I've seen so far when out shopping comes in very tiny jars and is a bit expensive for me. Any suggestions for body oil in bulk? I've tried http://www.burtsbees.com:80/natural-products/body-bath/lemon-vitamin-e-bath-body-oil.html, which I liked but $8.00 for 4oz feels kind of expensive. I like lightly scented stuff but usually not "flower" scented. Directions on where to get or advise on how to best use, would be deeply appreciated.

  • Answer:

    I got some carrier oils (base oils like grapeseed or sweet almond) and essential oils from http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkoil/bulkoil.html and mixed them myself in a plastic bottle. The nice thing about their site is that they have in depth descriptions of essential oil and carrier oil properties, so you can weigh the different oils based on things like skin type and moisturizing level.

http://www.neutrogena.com/econsumer/ntg/productdetail.browse?segment=women&catId=5&subCatId=15&productId=78&target=/products/body/body-oil.jsp would seem to meet your criteria. I haven't used it in many years, but from my memory of it, it's sesame oil, and has a light, neutral, not floral scent.

another vote for oils like sweet almond, grapeseed, rosehip seed, or olive. mountain rose herbs, as mentioned above, is a fabulous resource. you can add essential oils if you want scent. you can get a squeezy bottle to put your oils in, and keep it in the bathroom. just rub some in after you shower. (also, if you have an interest in oil cleansing, which is washing your face with oil, http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/is a good link. the same basic rules apply, but a good combo is castor oil and olive oil).

Trader Joes Lavender Body Oil is great and inexpensive.

Just wanted to quick update with a HUGE thank you to blueskiesinside, dogrose and sucre. I got a ton of information at the website you recommended and was then able to go to Zenith and pick out exactly what I needed. THANK YOU

Refill your bottle with almond oil that is sold for use in cooking, or any nice refined vegetable-based cooking oil. If you like fragrance, you can add a few drops of essential oils of lemon, rosemary, or whatever you like, which you can buy in tiny bottles at a Whole Foods Market or a similar store. Be careful with lemon oil or clove oil, because they are irritating to the skin if used at too high a concentration.

Nthing almond oil. It feels ultra-silky on and in your skin, and it's not terribly spendy. If you want a scent, go to http://www.zenithsupplies.com/, sniff out an essential oil you like, and add a drop or two to the bottle. Easy, cheap, very satisfying.

If you want to go cheaper than the Neutrogena (which is good!), Kroger makes a generic version of it.

I use http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001ECQ7OG/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/, which you can find at Whole Foods or a co-op. I put it in on in the shower. Short, natural ingredient list; about ten bucks for eight oz which lasts me a while.
