Quick summary: What makes a body oil truly effective? The answer lies in the ingredients—and the intention behind them. In this post, we’re breaking down the five core body oil ingredients in Revive, our signature moisturizing blend. You’ll learn what each plant-based oil does, why we chose it, and how they work together to hydrate, restore, and support your skin (and your ritual) naturally.

With so many body oils out there, it’s easy to get caught in the noise. Long ingredient lists, trendy actives, empty claims; it's a lot. That’s why we take a different approach. Revive is made with only five certified organic ingredients, each chosen with purpose. No fillers, no synthetics, no fluff. Every drop exists to nourish your skin, calm your mind, and elevate your daily ritual.

Each of our body oil ingredients are sourced through Mountain Rose Herbs, a trusted partner known for high-quality, ethically harvested botanicals. Transparency matters, and it starts here.

Let's Break Down the Body Oil Ingredients in Revive

1. Fractionated Coconut Oil: Lightweight Moisture, Fast Absorption

We love fractionated coconut oil for its silky texture and non-greasy finish. Unlike traditional coconut oil, this version stays liquid and absorbs quickly, making it ideal for daily use. It’s rich in caprylic and capric acids, which support the skin barrier and lock in moisture without clogging pores. It’s especially great for those who want hydration without heaviness—like post-shower rituals or mid-afternoon touchups.

2. Grapeseed Oil: Antioxidant-Rich Glow

Grapeseed oil is one of those quiet powerhouses. It’s high in vitamin E and linoleic acid, both of which help soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and support skin clarity. If you’re someone who breaks out easily or has combination skin, this oil plays nice. It also helps give Revive its subtle slip—making it perfect for body massage or intentional self-touch.

3. Shea Nut Oil: Nourishing, Protective, Long-Lasting

Shea nut oil is the liquid form of traditional shea butter. That means you get all the deep nourishment and skin barrier support, without the heavy texture. It’s rich in oleic and stearic acids, which protect against dryness and environmental stress. This oil is key to Revive’s lasting power. It helps seal in hydration so your skin feels soft and supple all day long.

4. Lavender Essential Oil: Calm for Skin and Senses

Lavender is a classic for a reason. Beyond its grounding scent, it’s known to help reduce redness and irritation, making it perfect for sensitive or sun-exposed skin. We chose organic lavender essential oil not just for how it smells, but for how it supports the skin’s natural recovery process. Use Revive before bed or after a shower to wind down, reconnect, and slow your pace.

5. Tea Tree Essential Oil: Clarity and Balance

Tea tree oil rounds out the blend with its clarifying, antimicrobial properties. It helps prevent breakouts and balances the skin’s microbiome, especially helpful for acne-prone areas like the chest, shoulders, or back. We use just enough to be effective without overpowering the scent or irritating sensitive skin.

How These Ingredients Work Together

Each ingredient in Revive was chosen to balance the others. Fractionated coconut and grapeseed oils create a lightweight base, while shea nut adds lasting moisture. Lavender and tea tree bring calm and clarity, both to your skin and your energy. Together, they form a blend that hydrates, heals, and harmonizes. 

FAQs: How to Use Revive

Can people with sensitive skin use Revive?

  • Every ingredient is thoughtfully chosen for gentleness, but essential oils can still be sensitizing for some. We recommend patch testing first, especially if your skin is reactive or prone to irritation.

Will it clog pores?

  • Revive is made with mostly non-comedogenic oils, but skin is personal. If you’re breakout-prone, try it on one area first, like the arms or legs, before using all over.

When is the best time to use it?

  • Right after a shower or bath is ideal, while your skin is still damp. You can also reapply throughout the day on dry spots or use it as a grounding ritual before bed.

Choosing the Right Body Oil 

When it comes to skincare, fewer ingredients can often mean better results, if each one is high quality and thoughtfully sourced. That’s what Revive is built on. This is skincare that supports your routine, not overwhelms it. Ritual, not noise. If you’re looking for body oil ingredients that do more with less, this is your sign.
