What is the best natural oil for the body?
When it comes to nourishing your skin, natural oils are a game-changer.
The best natural oils provide deep hydration and deliver vitamins and antioxidants directly to your skin. The problem is, with so many options, it can be hard to know which natural oils are best for your body.
Take a look at three standout oils, the difference between body oil and dry body oil, and how to use natural oils for healthy, glowing skin.
The best natural oil for your body
Want to restore your skin so it feels smooth, refreshed and youthful? Apply the best natural oil to your skin each day.
Avoid using traditional baby oil, aka ‘mineral oil’ which is generally considered safe but can be derived from highly refined petroleum and can actually cause irritation.
These are the natural oils we recommend:
-
Coconut Oil
Renowned for its versatility and skin-loving properties, coconut oil is a must-have for anyone with dry, dehydrated skin. In addition to its moisturising and hydrating properties, this oil leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. Coconut oil also boasts natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it a perfect choice for maintaining healthy skin.
Try Botani’s Coconut Glow Body & Hair Oil for a plant-based, silicone-free moisturising and nourishing treatment with a delectable natural scent of coconut and lime.

Crambe Abyssinica Oil

This ‘hero’ is packed with omega fatty acids, supporting your skin and hair’s barrier function while keeping it supple and smooth.

Cranberry Seed Oil
Cranberry seed oil is a natural powerhouse rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. It combats free radicals, supports your skin's elasticity, and hydrates without leaving a greasy finish. Its light texture makes it perfect for all skin types.

Why is some natural body oil greasy?
Do you hate that feeling of oily skin and worrying about whether oil will rub off on your clothes and sheets? You can’t exactly walk around with nothing on until it is all absorbed.
Make sure you are using a natural body oil if you want to experience faster absorption and less of a ‘greasy’ feeling. Apply your oil to damp skin rather than very dry skin for better absorption.
Warm the oil in your hands a little before you apply it, and massage it in in circles. Don’t go overboard… often if your body oil feels greasy it's because you have applied too much. Finally, give yourself a few moments between applying your oil and getting dressed, or wipe off the excess with a towel if you’re in a hurry.
What is the difference between body oil and dry body oil?
Body oils are designed to hydrate and nourish, but dry body oils offer a non-greasy finish that absorbs quickly.
Botani’s Coconut Glow Body & Hair Oil is a perfect example of the best natural oil for your skin. It features Coco-Caprylate, a plant-based alternative to silicones, which enhances spreadability and ensures the oil leaves no residue. This makes it ideal for daily use, especially if you want silky smooth skin without any lingering greasiness.
Do natural oils really work?
Natural oils hydrate, repair, and protect the skin, giving you results over time and with regular use.
Customers rave about the difference Botani’s oils have made to their skin, saying:
-
“My skin feels so soft and smooth after applying it. Love the smell!” – Yolanda C
-
“I love the subtle coconut scent and the feel of this beautiful oil but especially its versatility for both hair and body. It was a great buy!” – Monica U
Who should not use body oil?
While natural oils suit most people, those with very oily skin or conditions like acne may need to use them sparingly. If you’re unsure about whether you should use body oil, start with a patch test or speak with your dermatologist.
Coconut Glow Body & Hair Oil, with its lightweight formula, is suitable for most skin types and is one of the best natural oils you will find, but always listen to your skin’s needs and do a test first.
