A simple daily routine

Step 1: Nourish Your Face
Press 2–3 drops onto cleansed, moisturised skin to help maintain softness and moisture.
Step 2: Soften Your Body
Massage onto slightly damp skin after showering for a silky, nourished finish.
Step 3: Condition Your Hair
Smooth a few drops through the mid-lengths and ends to enhance softness and shine.

The African Botanical Multipurpose Dry Oil is a luxurious, lightweight oil formulated to nourish, soften and condition the face, body and hair without leaving a heavy, greasy finish.

Enriched with three African botanical oils — marula, baobab and Kalahari melon seed oil — this versatile blend delivers essential fatty acids and skin-conditioning lipids that help maintain softness, suppleness and moisture retention.

Its carefully balanced combination of botanical oils and lightweight emollients creates a silky, fast-spreading texture that glides effortlessly across the skin, leaving a smooth, radiant finish.

Designed for everyday use, this multipurpose oil can be applied to the face for added nourishment, massaged into the body to soften dry skin, or smoothed over hair lengths and ends to enhance shine and manageability.

A celebration of Africa's botanical heritage, refined through purposeful formulation science.

For the Face

After cleansing, warm 2–3 drops between your fingertips and gently press onto the face and neck. Use as the final step in your evening skincare routine or after your moisturiser to help seal in moisture.

For the Body

Apply a small amount to clean, slightly damp skin after bathing or showering. Massage gently using circular movements until evenly distributed, paying particular attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees and legs.

For the Hair

Apply 1–3 drops to the palms and smooth over the mid-lengths and ends of dry or damp hair to enhance softness, shine and manageability. Adjust the amount according to hair length and texture.

Formulator's Tip

For best results, apply to slightly damp skin. The botanical oils help reduce moisture loss and leave skin feeling soft and supple.

Precautions: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

1. What is the African Botanical Multipurpose Dry Oil used for?

This lightweight botanical oil is designed to nourish and condition the face, body and hair. Enriched with African marula, baobab and Kalahari melon seed oils, it helps soften dry skin, maintain moisture and add shine to hair without a heavy, greasy finish.

2. What is the difference between a dry oil and a regular body oil?

A dry oil is formulated to spread easily and leave a lightweight, less greasy finish. Our formulation combines African botanical oils with lightweight emollients, including coco-caprylate and isoamyl laurate, to deliver nourishment with a silky skin feel.

3. Can I use this dry oil on my face?

Yes. Apply 2–3 drops to clean skin, preferably after your moisturiser. The formula contains skin-conditioning botanical oils and no added fragrance. If you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, introduce the product gradually and monitor how your skin responds.

4. Can I use the multipurpose dry oil on my hair?

Yes. Apply a few drops to the mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair to help smooth the hair surface, improve manageability and enhance shine. Start with a small amount, particularly if you have fine hair.

5. Does the dry oil moisturise the skin?

The botanical oils and emollients help soften skin and reduce moisture loss. Unlike water-based moisturisers, oils do not directly supply water to the skin. For optimal results, apply to slightly damp skin or layer over your usual moisturiser.

6. Is the African Botanical Multipurpose Dry Oil suitable for everyday use?

Yes. This versatile oil can be incorporated into your daily face, body and hair care routine. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for regular use, with the amount adjusted according to your skin and hair needs.

Botanical oils are rich in skin-conditioning lipids, but not all oils feel the same on the skin. The challenge in developing this formulation was to combine the nourishing properties of African botanical oils with a lightweight, elegant sensory experience.

I selected marula oil for its high oleic acid content and emollient properties, baobab oil for its complementary fatty acid profile, and Kalahari melon seed oil for its naturally high linoleic acid content.

Together, these oils help soften and condition the skin while supporting moisture retention.

To achieve the distinctive dry-touch finish, I balanced the botanical oils with lightweight emollients, including coco-caprylate and isoamyl laurate. These ingredients improve spreadability and reduce the perception of greasiness without compromising the conditioning properties of the formulation.

The result is a versatile oil designed for the face, body and hair, delivering botanical nourishment with a silky, refined finish.
