Watkins Natural Body Oils


J.R. Watkins soothing body oils are a rich blend of luxurious natural oils regarded for their anti-aging and nourishing qualities. Pour a small amount into a bath or smooth into skin immediately after bathing—your skin will thank you!

• All body oils are 99.50% natural and above.
• Available in four essences: aloe & green tea, lemon cream, lavender and mango.
• Use in bath or as an all-over body oil.
• Perfect for massages and cuticle care.
• Natural oils include grapeseed, macadamia, apricot, avocado and safflower oil.
• Leaves a soft, non-greasy feel.
• Packaged in Watkins exclusive glass Trial Mark bottle.

Essential Ingredients:

• Grapeseed Oil: Produced from the residue of grapes that have been pressed for wine. Recently
“rediscovered” as a cooking oil for its hearthealthy blend of linoleic acid and antioxidants, it has long been a favorite massage oil. It is cleansing, toning, very light and odorless, and absorbs easily through the skin.

• Macadamia Nut Oil: This rejuvenating body oil has a warm, nutty aroma and excellent spreadability with no greasy feel. Its fatty acid composition is similar to that of natural skin
oils (sebum), including some of the acids that are crucial to the maintenance of the skin’s water barrier functions. It is excellent for daily skin care to moisturize and soften the skin.

• Apricot Kernel Oil: This oil is similar in texture and properties to almond oil (you’ll notice that
the pit of an apricot looks remarkably like an almond), and is in the same category as olive oil
and avocado oil. Apricot kernel oil is considered by many chemists to be an excellent natural
replacement for mineral oil; it is rapidly absorbed by the skin and has a high vitamin E content.

• Avocado Oil: Delivers essential fatty acids, and contains vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids),
plus exceptionally high amounts of vitamins D, E and potassium to help keep skin moist and
smooth. Avocado oil has the highest penetration rate among similar oils.
