To make my skin feel as luxurious as possible, I use mindbodygreen’s dry body oil. The incredibly light texture is an absolute delight. It’s soft and supple. Spreading it over skin feels so light, so effervescent, that it practically disappears upon application. It’s a sensorial experience that feels rich but never leaves a residue.
That’s all thanks to the formula. It’s an edited-down, simple blend using only high-quality oils. It’s a mix of sunflower, organic safflower, squalane, prickly pear, and vitamin E oils. These are full of skin-supporting nutrients to nurture the barrier, provide antioxidant properties, and feed the skin lipids.
The sunflower and safflower oils are to thank for the light texture. These two naturally weightless oils are a good source of essential fatty acids omega-3 (linolenic acid) and -6 (linoleic acid). Together, these are often referred to as vitamin F. (The title is a touch confusing, as these aren’t actual vitamins.) Linolenic and linoleic acid help repair the barrier and soothe irritated skin. It also contains prickly pear seed oil, which is full of nutrients like vitamin E, phytosterols, and amino acids to support collagen production.
