Body oils are blends of plant oils, applied to damp skin after a shower, added to a bath or used for massage. Like face oils, they soften skin and slow water loss from its surface.
With no water in them, oils do not need preservatives, though they often contain vitamin E (tocopherol) to slow the oils going rancid.
Reading the label
- Tocopherol
- Vitamin E in an oil blend is usually there as an antioxidant for the oils themselves.
- Bath oils
- Oil in the bath can make the tub slippery. That is a usage note, not something certification evaluates.
