From their ability to nourish parched skin and leave behind a healthy-looking glow sans any stickiness, body oils are the “it” product of the season—and it seems like they’re always improving. Ahead, some of the benefit-added body oils that are generating buzz this summer.
PHLUR Missing Person Body Oil ($45)
This “skin” scent is viral for a reason. The wildly addictive fragrance lingers, as the formula’s skin-mimicking lipids and ceramide-fueled floral oils nourish the skin.
Naturium The Glow Getter Body Oil ($24)
Rounding out the brand’s number-one franchise—we’re talking milestone metrics of one-million sold—this botanical oil deeply moisturizes and promotes a healthier-looking skin barrier by replenishing essential lipids. It even made a red-carpet appearance on Demi Moore during the Cannes Film Festival.
Hanni Good Aura ($34)
Dubbed the “anti-oil,” this cocktail of jojoba, baobob, coconut, and buriti fruit oils delivers a refreshing treat for thirsty skin.
YSE Beauty Liquid Glow Body Oil ($58)
If it’s good enough for Molly Sims, you can rest assured we’re slathering it. Luxe and silky-smooth, this “dewy-finish” nourisher creates the most perfect shimmery glow, while delicately scenting the skin.
Luna Daily The Skin Support Oil ($46)
This mega multitasker improves the appearance of stretch marks, hyperpigmentation and skin texture for smooth, firm, hydrated skin. One expecting Sephora shopper says she swears by it: “I’m very happy with this body oil. It works great for my pregnant belly skin moisturizing and prepping it for further stretch. I’m using it right after shower to seal the moisture in the skin. A gentle massage helps to spread it evenly and fasten absorption. The thin I especially love about this oil is that it doesn’t have a strong scent, which is rare for this type of product.”
First Aid Beauty After-Shower Nourishing Body Oil ($36)
With skin-loving lipids and seven botanical oils, this new after-shower staple kept sensitive skin in mind. The result: A no-nonsense, citrus-scented product that strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier without clogging pores.
Saltair Nourishing Body Oil ($22)
There are so many crazy-good scents—Santal Bloom, Pink Beach, Exotic Pulp, and Island Orchid—in this plant-active portfolio of lasts-forever body oils.
Clean Mundi Invigorating Body Oil ($39)
Carefully crafted with a unique blend of Coenzyme Q10, squalane and broccoli seed oil, this super moisturizing oil gives a suppleness to the skin, while providing a warm, sweet musk aroma.
Body Proud Serve the Glow Dry Body Oil ($17)
Boasting vitamins C and E, this unique dry oil absorbs fast, as fizzy citrus and tonic notes give off the most energizing fragrance.
Fig.1 All Over Oil ($42)
A silky “feather-light” oil with an all-star lineup of antioxidants, this powerhouse gives an instant glow. Bonus: The tiniest bit works nicely on the hair for a boost of shine.
Completely Bare soothe & SUBDUE Nourishing Hair & Skin Oil ($13)
Another multitasker in the mix, this nourishing hair and body oil is scented with soothing lavender oil, so it actually helps soften and heal irritated skin in-between hair-removal sessions.
OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil ($52)
Packed with Undaria seaweed and 11 botanical oils, this one-of-a-kind elixir hydrates for silky-soft skin that glows.
Baby le Bébé Smoothing Body Oil ($62)
Made in small batches in the Catskills, this melody of castor, rosehip and argan oils meets with the skin-boosting power of clary sage and rosemary—which is then blended with bergamot and basil—for real results and relaxation.
111Skin Rose Gold Radiance Body Oil ($95)
Outfitted with top-shelf ingredients you’d find in your facial skin-care, this chamomile and rosemary oil–boosted formula (it smells like rose) sinks right in and transforms dull, dry skin before your eyes—no stickiness in sight.
Nudestix Sunshine Oil Body Elixir ($38)
We’re not saying this is Sofia Richie’s secret to looking bronzed and beautiful 24-7, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it was (she’s the brand’s creative director). This lightweight formula is packed with 6 different oils, delivers an instant golden glow and also develops a gradual, sunkissed tan while you wear it. Talk about a summer staple.
Lake & Skye 11 11 Body Oil ($48)
Fans of the brand’s best-selling 11 11 fragrance—think cozy notes of white amber and musk—will love this hydrating, all-over oil (the scent isn’t overwhelming, so you’re safe to slather it on) packed with sweet almond oil and vitamin E for serious softening power.
Caudalie Moisturizing Fig Body Oil Elixir ($52)
Antioxidant-rich prickly pear, grape seed and argan oils blend with notes of green fig and cedar in this spray-on oil that tackles dryness and lack of firmness head on. Bonus points for being multipurpose—the brand notes it can also be used to treat dry hair.
Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil ($52)
Claiming to help fade the look of uneven texture and cellulite with the brand’s Guaraná Caffeine+ Complex, this firming oil boasts the same pistachio and salted caramel scent we love from the OG Bum Bum Cream, but in a deeply nourishing, quick-to-absorb oil.
