Top 10 Drugstore Body Oils

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Pura D'or's Organic Vitamin E Oil Blend has over 8,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. Beloved for its ability to promote a glowing complexion, this super blend can be used on the face and decolletage to slow down signs of aging. It's also particularly good at lightening dark circles under the eyes.

WHY IT WORKS: Vitamin E has long been considered a skincare superhero due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Applying it topically can reduce signs of UV damage, heal blemishes, and protect your skin from free radicals.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Hempz's Herbal Bath And Body Oil provides lightweight, silky moisturization and aromatherapy through notes of pineapple, melon, and honey. Use it in the bath under running water, or massage it into your skin after getting out of the shower.

PROMISING REVIEW: “First, let's talk about the amazing smell of pineapple melon magic. It smells so fresh. Next, the feel makes my skin feel so soft. There’s no greasy feeling at all—just glowing, soft, fabulous smelling, feeling, and looking skin!”

THE HIGHLIGHTS: This body oil from Alba Botanica is formulated with kukui nut, which is rich in fatty acids and helps to soften, repair, and moisturize dry, parched skin. Bonus: the sunflower, macadamia, and sweet almond oils give the skin an extra dose of moisture.

BEHIND THE BRAND: All of Alba Botanica’s products are 100% vegetarian and formulated with plant-based ingredients.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: It's hard to argue with history, which is why Bliss of Greece decided to learn from it instead. Combining the deeply-hydrating powers of almond, olive, grapeseed, and lavendar oil, this skincare elixir helps soothe dry, irritated skin.

PROMISING REVIEW: "I get dry skin patches in the winter especially. I've tried lotions - they're greasy, oily, and didn't do much to help. This oil is, ironically, less oily than the lotions. It dries and soaks in pretty quickly. I like the scent (but they do have unscented) and most of all, it actually moisturizes. My dry skin would crack and bleed and was unbearably itchy, and this 100% fixed that. My only gripe is it's a liiiiitle pricey. I'd feel better if it was $10. Or at least if they sold it in bigger bottles."

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Soak in the healing properties of acacia senegal, coconut oil, and coconut milk with SheaMoisture's Daily Hydration Body Oil. Formulated to give you a non-greasy glow, this oil creates a spa-like experience when poured under running bath water.

BEHIND THE BRAND: SheaMoisture is the legacy of Sofi Tucker, a black woman and widow who supported her family by selling shea butter, African black soap, and homemade hair and skin products in the early 1900s. Tucker's family still manages the brand today with a collection of popular products all made from ethically-traded, sustainable ingredients.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Dry and sensitive skin, meet your match. This mist may look subtle, but its moisturizing effects certainly are not. What makes it so effective? Oat oil, a substance rich in lipids and fatty acids that helps condition the skin. 

BEHIND THE BRAND: Aveeno is a dermatologist-recommended skincare brand with over 65 years of experience in the industry. They make hypoallergenic products that are gentle on sensitive skin.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: You heard it here first: this drugstore body oil is key to getting a head-to-toe dewy glow all year round. Powered by sesame seeds, this body oil provides a sheer, lightweight layer of hydration. Apply it to damp skin or pour it directly into the bath for a skin-nourishing experience.

PROMISING REVIEW: “This oil gives the absolute perfect glow/sheen! I’ve always searched for the right lotion or oil that would achieve this without leaving me a greasy mess. This stuff is wonderful.”

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Breathe in the soothing scents of eucalyptus and spearmint with Dr Teal's Bath & Body Oil. This multi-purpose product can be used in and after the bath for a shimmery dose of moisturization.

PROMISING REVIEW: "Definitely my go-to when I want to relax after a long day. I love pairing this oil with Dr Teal's moisturizer lotion as well. It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth, and the price point is actually really good. I definitely, definitely think that this is a must-get."

THE HIGHLIGHTS: This fast-absorbing body oil from Palmer's claims to instantly replenish parched skin. And with its antioxidant-rich formula that's packed with soybean, sesame, and safflower, we believe it. Plus, who are we to argue with its 16,000 5-star Amazon reviews?

BEHIND THE BRAND: Palmer's is rooted in history. As a 175-year-old brand, the company has perfected the art of turning high-quality, natural ingredients into formulas that really work.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Bio-Oil is a cult favorite (and our algorithm's #1 pick) for a reason. In addition to being super hydrating and lightweight, it’s believed to help reduce stretch marks, scars, and hyperpigmentation. For best results, apply this oil twice a day for at least 12 weeks.

PROMISING REVIEW: "This oil gives a nice moisturized feel. I’ve even used it on my face—which I was a bit wary of—but after two weeks there are no flare-ups and my skin is shining."
