Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil

interested in your thoughts. anything with oil i’m usually weary of. they never seem to sink into the skin, just sit on top.

You’re absolutely right, this is a mineral oil based product, so it doesn’t sink in. Mineral oil and other petroleum products do not moisturizer, but instead create a barrier. So it keeps moisture in, but doesn’t add any of it’s own. The barrier it forms is why it doesn’t feel like it sinks in.

Not all oil products are this way, just petroleum based ones. A product made from soybean, or almond oil will sink in, though they will take longer to do do since they are heavier than oil free lotions.

I always smell this when I go in Target thinking one day I’ll pick it up. I’m just in love with the scent, just worried about how it soaks into the skin!

Body gel oil, that’s a new one for me! Never heard of it :D

Interesting, but I’ll wait to read the inci.
