Pure Lavender Body Oil
Article No. 10514


A carefully-selected blend of four of the oils most highly regarded for their anti-aging, nourishing qualities, penetrating ability and non-greasy feel, plus phytonutrient-rich aloe vera oil, antioxidant vitamin E and purifying lavender oil. This all-natural blend of grapeseed, macadamia nut, avocado and apricot kernel oils moisturizes deeply. Use as an all-over body oil after the shower or shaving, or as a delightful massage oil.

Essential Ingredients:
• Grapeseed Oil: Produced from the residue of grapes that have been pressed for wine. Recently “rediscovered” as a cooking oil for its hearthealthy blend of linoleic acid and antioxidants, it has long been a favorite massage oil.
• Macadamia Nut Oil: This rejuvenating body oil has a warm, nutty aroma and
excellent spreadability with no greasy feel. It is especially good for mature or dry skin due to its high percentage of palmitoleic acid, which decreases in the skin over time.
• Apricot Kernel Oil: This highly-emollient oil is considered by many chemists to be an excellent natural replacement for mineral oil; it is rapidly absorbed by the skin and has a high vitamin E content.
• Avocado Oil: This emollient oil is mildly bactericidal and very soothing and nourishing to the skin. Researchers speculate that avocado oil may mobilize and increase the collagen of connective tissue, which would help keep skin moist and smooth and aid minor skin conditions.
• Aloe Vera Oil: An oil extracted from whole-leaf aloe and solubilized in a carrier oil medium. (An extractive is used because aloe vera gel
would not blend well with oils.)
• Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps prevent unsaturated oils from becoming rancid. Also shown to exhibit antioxidant properties when applied to the skin, scavenging free radicals that can be responsible for premature aging.
