Best for

People with dry to normal skin who want a botanical, multi oil blend to soften and hydrate the body and do not mind a light mint and rosemary scent.

You are sensitive to added fragrance, need a completely unscented base oil, or want a product built specifically for the face rather than the whole body.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

This Makari body oil is built around a three oil blend of soybean seed oil, sweet almond oil and argan oil, positioned to soften, condition and help fade the look of marks and blemishes across all skin types. It is paraben free, sulfate free and gluten free, described by the brand as natural, antioxidant and lightweight, and scented with a mint, sea water and rosemary blend. It comes in a 125 milliliter bottle, about 4.23 fluid ounces, for $28.

Demand for this one is notably strong. Purchase volume in the past month was extremely high, and it holds a solid 4.6 star average across 669 reviews. The review count trails the purchase volume by a wide margin, which usually means a lot of recent buyers simply have not left feedback yet rather than any quality concern.

Pros

  • Three oil botanical blend of argan, almond and soybean oil
  • Free of parabens, sulfates and gluten
  • Lightweight, antioxidant leaning formula
  • Very high recent buyer volume
  • Strong 4.6 star rating

Cons

  • Smaller 125 milliliter size for the $28 price
  • Added mint and rosemary scent may not suit everyone
  • Marketed as a body oil, not a facial treatment
  • Review count is modest relative to how many people are currently buying it

Performance notes

The active blend of soybean seed oil, sweet almond oil and argan oil is a common combination for softening and conditioning dry skin. The formula is labeled paraben free, sulfate free and gluten free, and the brand describes it as natural, antioxidant and lightweight, which lines up with its positioning as a daily body moisturizer rather than a heavy balm.

What buyers say

A 4.6 star rating across 669 reviews, paired with an extremely high recent purchase volume, signals strong current momentum. The gap between how many people are buying it and how many have reviewed it suggests plenty of new customers have not weighed in yet.
