What’s in the Eartha Body Oil: A Breakdown of Every Ingredient

What’s in the Eartha Body Oil: A Breakdown of Every Ingredient

Our Body Oil is one of my the proudest formulations I've worked on for Eartha. After studying countless body oil formulations, I noticed a common pattern. Many aren't made entirely of oils, instead, they're often diluted with fillers, silicones, or unnecessary stabilisers that do little for your skin. These additives can create a light, dry-touch finish, but often at the expense of delivering real skin-nourishment.

While we don't believe in formulating a Body Oil that feels completely 'dry' to touch, we carefully select non-comedogenic, lightweight oils that are backed by science for their skin-loving benefits. Our blend contains no endocrine disruptors, no ingredients linked to cancer, and absolutely no fillers or stabilisers. I can guarantee that every drop that goes into our Body Oil is purposeful.


Golden Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is one of the most versatile oils with a long list of benefits, owing to its high concentrations of important vitamins and nutrients — vitamin E, B complex, chromium, copper, zinc and silicon. It is also a natural humectant which works to attract moisture to the top of the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated. It also contains antioxidants and vitamin E which may help to fight oxidative stress and help the body with producing collagen.


Moringa Oil

Moringa oil is prized for its exceptional nutritional profile and restorative properties. Rich in cytokinins and zeatin, which are naturally growth stimulators and cellular healing agents, it is researched to support skin regeneration and delay the process of aging. 

It is also rich in essential fatty acids like oleic acid, moringa oil help protect skin from environmental damage and maintain skin moisture. Its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties also help to soothe dry, irritated skin.


Safflower Oil
Rich in linoleic acid, safflower oil is primarily used for its nourishing and moisturising properties. It strengthens skin's barrier and improves skin impermeability and reduce loss of moisture.

It has also anti-inflammatory properties to soothe skin and reduce redness.


Squalane

Lightweight and non-comedogenic, it supports and enhances the skin's moisture barrier, helps fight free radicals, and improve skin at a cellular level.


Carrot Root Extract 
(Daucus Carota Sativa Extract)
Rich in vitamins A, C, E and K, betacarotene and antioxidants which help to protect skin from environmental stressors and fight skin damage, holistically improve your skin health and glow.


Bisabolol

A colourless, viscous oil which is also the primary constituent of the essential oil of German Chamomile essential oil. The bisabolol we use in our Body Oil is derived from the steam distillation of the bark of candeia tree. 

Bisabolol has been used for centuries in cosmetics due to its anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and skin-healing properties
- Reducing the appearance of wrinkles
- Reducing skin toughness
- Repairing sun-damaged skin


Tocopherol
An active form of vitamin E derived naturally that deeply conditions and hydrates skin and hair. It strengthens the skin's barrier and protects it against harm. It also acts as an antioxidant and serves a natural preservative to slow down oil-based products from going rancid.
