Review: The Earth Works Cosmetics Lavender & Sweet Orange Body Oil

My love for body oils is growing at a pretty fast pace and today I'm reviewing an offering from The Earth Works Cosmetics.


"A beautifully silky body oil.  The Sweet Almond and Cocoa butter melt into your skin. Choose from Lavender & Sweet Orange or Lemon & Geranium essential oils which leave your body beautifully scented"


The body oil comes in two varieties, Lavender & Sweet Orange or Lemon & Geranium. It was a hard decision as I loved the sound of both but the Lavender & Sweet Orange just piqued my interest a wee bit more. 

The oils base is Sweet Almond Oil - light, easily absorbed and spreads well with the addition of Cocoa Butter - picked for its deeply moisturising properties and Vitamin E - to stimulate blood circulation and regulate skin elasticity. Add a dash of Lavender and Sweet Orange Essential Oils and you have the full ingredients line up. 

I'd say the oil is quite rich due to the addition of Cocoa Butter but this certainly doesn't mean that its heavy or difficult for the skin to absorb. In fact, its super nourishing and my skin feels great for the whole day not just for a couple of hours. I really notice an improvement to the texture of the skin on my legs when using it after shaving. 

It costs £9.50 for 80ml but I picked it up for £7.50 as they run special offers fairly often. I already have my eye on some more from The Earth Works Cosmetics - the Peppermint Lip Balm, the Regenerating Face Balm and of course the Coconut & Lime Body Butter.

Have a look at the site and let me know what you'd pick!
