Osmia Organics Water Lily Body Oil and Sunset Body Oil Reviews

Press Samples (Unaffiliated Links)

Osmia Organics remains one of my very favorite organic skincare lines. Not only are the products safe and effective, but they are such a pleasure to use. The tactile effects, of their beautifully conceived and executed products, encourage you to slow down and savor every moment that you feel and smell these handmade gems.

As you may recall, I am over the moon about their luxury face oils-- therefore it should come as no surprise that their body oils are likewise amazing. For my review of the Osmia Organics Facial Calibration Lotion click here; for my review of the Osmia Organics Facial Restoration Serum click here (and both made my Top 12 Beauty Oils post here).

According to Osmia Organics,

These sublime body oils, like the soaps, may be addictive. They are to be applied to WET skin. Seriously - don't even dry off first. It will make the oils more effective by mixing with the water on your skin, and you will use less oil this way. After applying, just walk around (or, better yet, dance a little bit) in your birthday suit for a few minutes before getting dressed. Your skin will stay incredibly soft all day.

The base oil is the same for all of them, comprising 11 incredibly nourishing oils (9 certified organic), each with its own set of benefits for the skin. With healing organic jojoba oil, antioxidant kukui oil, powerfully anti-aging and regenerative organic rosehip seed oil, and anti-inflammatory organic hemp seed oil, our body oil strengthens, rejuvenates, and deeply heals your skin.  The scents are achieved with organic and wild-harvested essential oils, and are available in a 7.5 ounce bottle with pump, or a 2 ounce bottle with a screw top.  Also available unscented.

For the optimal results, apply these luscious body oils to clean, wet skin!

Water Lily Body Oil is a deeply moisturizing oil that leaves skin unbelievably soft, silky smooth, supple and deeply hydrated. The scent is an exotic warm spicy and woodsy aroma that soothes and delights the senses while it effectively treats the skin. It is so lusciously aromatic that you will delight in smelling your skin!

According to Osmia Organics,

It starts with vetiver - a grass from Sri Lanka that instantly evokes a feeling of ancient earth and sacred ritual.  It is a deeply calming and grounding oil - sweet, rich, and sensual.  Wild-harvested juniper oil and ginger lily add a gentle spice, and lift the vetiver up to meet them.  The scent will last for hours, in a very subtle yet addictive way.  Beware- you may find yourself sniffing your arm during meetings.  This scent can be worn by men or women.

Ingredients [*=Certified Organic Ingredient]: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated Coconut Oil), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil*, Aleurites Molaccana (Kukui) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus (Sweet Almond) Oil*, Rosa Rubiginosa (Rosehips) Seed Oil*, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*, Borago Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil*, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil*, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn Berry) Co2 Extract*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Co2 Extract*, And A Proprietary Blend Of Organic And Wild-Harvested Essential Oils And Co2 Extracts.

Sunset Body Oil is also a deeply moisturizing oil, and it leaves the skin soft, silky smooth, supple and deeply hydrated. The aroma is a complex and warm combination of vanilla and jasmine, but with a spicy  top note that makes this an intoxicatingly beautiful scent. It is an utterly feminine, earthy and sexy aromatic experience.

According to Osmia Organics,

Organic vanilla and jasmine extracts combine for a warm, feminine scent that lasts all day on your skin. The quiet spice of coriander, and the lift of Italian bergamot make this oil anything but plain vanilla.  (The organic bergamot we use has had the photosensitizing element removed, so it will not cause a reaction in the sun.)  It is distinctly possible that you will want to lick your arm while wearing this oil.  You've been warned.

Ingredients: [*=Certified Organic Ingredient]: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated Coconut Oil), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil*, Aleurites Molaccana (Kukui) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus (Sweet Almond) Oil*, Rosa Rubiginosa (Rosehips) Seed Oil*, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*, Borago Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil*, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil*, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn Berry) Co2 Extract*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Co2 Extract*, And A Proprietary Blend Of Organic And Wild-Harvested Essential Oils And Co2 Extracts.
