Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use body oil? Do you put it on before or after lotion?

A body oil is best applied to damp skin after showering to help seal in moisture and enhance radiance. For lightweight hydration, use body oil on its own. For extra nourishment—especially if you’re using an oil for dry skin—layer it with lotion.

You can apply body oil before lotion to deeply condition, or smooth a few drops over lotion to lock in hydration and add glow. Beautifying Composition Oil is a lightweight, vegan body oil that softens and smooths without feeling greasy. It’s ideal for daily use and a favorite for those searching for the best body oil for silky, luminous skin.

Is there a difference between bath oil and body oil?

Yes. A bath oil is designed to disperse into warm water, helping soften skin while creating a soothing aromatic soak. A body oil is applied directly to skin to nourish, smooth and support moisture retention.

Some multi-use formulas can do both. Some work beautifully as a bath oil—just add a few drops to running water—and as a body oil applied directly to damp skin. Whether you prefer a restorative bath ritual or targeted hydration, choosing the right texture and application helps maximize benefits.

What is Bath Oil and how do you use it?

Bath oil is a concentrated blend of nourishing oils added to bathwater to help soften skin and elevate your bathing ritual. As the oil disperses, it helps condition the skin while surrounding you with a calming, natural aroma.

To use, add a small amount of bath oil to warm running water and swirl to disperse evenly. Step in, relax and allow the botanical blend to lightly moisturize your skin. After bathing, gently pat dry to maintain hydration.

How often should you use oil on your scalp?

Using a scalp oil 1–3 times per week can help nourish dry scalp, support moisture balance and enhance shine. If you have a very dry scalp, you may benefit from more frequent use, adjusting based on how your scalp feels.

Massage a small amount of oil directly onto the scalp, leave on for several minutes (or overnight for deeper nourishment), then shampoo thoroughly. Aveda Nutriplenish Shampure Composition Oil can be used as a scalp oil treatment to help replenish moisture to hair.
