the soft truth ☁️
real glow doesn’t come from glitter—it comes from healthy, hydrated skin. that’s why body oils are having their it girl era. our skin syrups were made to be the cozy middle ground: luxe, skin-loving, and quick-absorbing so you get that soft, lit-from-within sheen without feeling slippery.
pretty packaging is cute, but the formulas do the heavy lifting. let’s talk receipts.
what’s a "dry oil"? 🫧
dry oils are lightweight plant oils that absorb fast and don’t leave a heavy, greasy layer behind. think: hydration without the film. they still deeply nourish your skin, just without sitting on top like thicker oils do.
in our skin syrups, the stars are:
- grapeseed oil — feather-light, rich in linoleic acid + vitamin e; helps strengthen the skin barrier while feeling basically weightless.
- sunflower oil — gentle, soothing, and barrier-loving; helps lock in moisture while calming irritation.
- avocado oil — creamy, nutrient-dense, full of natural fatty acids that keep your glow plush and long-lasting.
so what’s the difference between dry oils and “wet” oils (like castor or olive)? wet oils tend to be heavier and slower to absorb—they sit on top of the skin longer, which can feel slippery or occlusive. that’s great for slugging or deep overnight treatments, but not ideal for daily, all-over use. dry oils, on the other hand, have smaller molecules and a lighter texture that soaks in fast, making them perfect for body care. you get all the nourishment without sticking to your clothes or sheets.
and because we care about skin health first, our blend is balanced—not overloaded with fragrance or filler oils. your skin gets the nutrients it actually needs to stay soft, smooth, and happy.
body oils ≠ perfume oils 🎀
let’s clear this one up, because the internet loves to mix them up 🤭.
body oils are made to hydrate, soften, and nourish. their main focus is skin health—barrier support, moisture retention, and improving texture over time. yes, ours smell delicious, but they’re not meant to be pure perfume. the main job is skin health. that means the scent sits closer to the skin—pretty, cozy, not overwhelming.
when a body oil is super concentrated with fragrance oils, it can actually irritate or dry out your skin—especially if you’re sensitive. we pride ourselves on balance: our skin syrups are scented enough to make you feel soft and sweet, but gentle enough to use all over, every day.
perfume oils, on the other hand, are made mainly for scent—they’re usually more concentrated, longer-lasting, and meant for pulse points (not all-over use). that’s why we customers love pairing our body oils with sweet skin mists to layer their scent safely and make it last all day.
💡 the goal: skin first, scent second. when your skin is healthy and hydrated, even light scents last longer and smell better.
how to layer for glow + all-day sweetness 🍨
the soft-girl shower routine
- polish: use a body sugar (gentle scrub) 2–3x/week to smooth texture and help everything absorb better.
- pat, don’t rub: after showering, leave skin slightly damp (like 10–20% damp). damp skin = better oil spread + moisture lock-in.
- seal the glow: massage skin syrup over damp skin. start with 1–2 pumps per limb; add more if you’re extra dry.
- cloud of comfort: apply body icing (lotion) on top to trap hydration and leave a velvety finish.
- turn up the scent: finish with sweet skin mist on pulse points (neck, wrists, behind ears) + a light mist on clothes/scarf (test fabric first). for extra oomph, mist again midday.
pro tip: oil on damp skin = your fastest route to glassy legs. lotion on top = the “kept” finish.
layer the matching skin syrup → body icing → sweet skin mist for your longest-lasting sweetness.
why your skin will actually thank you 💗
- barrier support: fatty acids from sunflower + avocado help the skin hold onto moisture longer.
- softer texture over time: consistent oiling reduces flakiness and helps that lotion actually do something.
- fast absorption: dry oils like grapeseed don’t sit heavy, so you can glow without the slip.
- season-smart: in cooler months, add a drop extra at night; in summer, keep it light and mist more.
(friendly reminder: if you have known allergies/sensitivities, patch test first and peek at our ingredient lists on our product listings 🫶🏼.)
your questions, answered 💬
will i feel greasy? nope—our dry-oil blend is made to absorb fast and leave a soft sheen, not a slick.
can i use it daily? yes! morning for glow, night for deep comfort. adjust pumps to your skin’s mood.
is the scent strong? the oil is cozy-close (skin-scent). if you want louder, layer with the sweet skin mist in the same scent family.
