I purchased the trial size pack of the Weleda Body Oil collection and have found it a GREAT way to keep a variety of body oils in stock.
I first bought the trial sizes (each about 22ml/about .7oz) in order to see which I want full size of, but in the end decided that this is the best way to buy to have on hand for a variety of uses - without having to outlay for the large sizes (and then worrying about using them before the expiry). I get about 4-5 uses out of each little bottle, and since I only use body oil once or twice a week, they last plenty long enough for me.
The Weleda Body Oils absorb beautifully (I usually apply to wet skin straight from bath or shower - economizes the use of oil) and keep the skin hydrated for a good 24 hours. Unlike some body oils, they don’t just sit on the skin when massaged on wet - a bonus as your towel does not end up coated in oil. The fragrance of the oils is subtle, but long-lasting.
The kit includes:
Citrus: I use this when I need revitalizing (i.e. been out shopping or running around all day)
Ingredients: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Alcohol, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Parfum (Fragrance)*, Limonene*, Linalool*, Geraniol*, Citral*.
* from natural essential oils
Lavender: great to use in the evening when I need to relax or have trouble sleeping
Ingredients (INCI): Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil), Parfum (Fragrance)*, Limonene*, Linalool*, Geraniol*, Coumarin*.
* from natural essential oils.
Wild Rose: for whenever I need to feel a bit pampered
IngredientsSimmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Rosa Moschata Seed Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Fragrance (Parfum)*, Limonene*, Linalool*, Citronellol*, Benzyl Alcohol*, Geraniol*, Citral*, Eugenol*, Farnesol*.
* from natural essential oils
Specialty oils:
Seabuckthorn: recommended to use after being out in the sun (or if skin is particularly parched)
Ingredients: Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Parfum (Fragrance)*, Limonene*, Linalool*, Benzyl Alcohol*, Geraniol*, Citral*.
* from natural essential oils
Arnica: Excellent for after-sports use (aching muscles) or for bumps & bruises
Ingredients: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil Unsaponisables, Parfum (Fragrance)*, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Betula Alba Leaf Extract, Limonene*, Linalool*, Geraniol*, Coumarin*.
* from natural essential oils
My only wish is that it could include the birch cellulite oil too, but this is meant for daily use, so perhaps I will get around to buying a full size of this one to try. |

Yes, I love the wild rose oil! Lovely smell and texture, and it sinks in without greasy residue. I also massage it in on wet skin a few times a week. I also use it as a face oil under my moisturiser during the day (at night I use the wild rose oil capsuels).
I will buy seabuckthorn next since I've heard it's really good for dry skin, and I do have some dry spots I want to get rid off. |

I used Weleda pregnancy oil during my 2 pregnancies. I liked them best of all body products for pregnancy I tried (including mustela). It's nourishing, non-irritating, smells nicely (didn't annoy the super sensitive nose at that period  ). I recommend it, although it's not a "wonder" product -- but a nice everyday body care that does the basic job. |
