A glow-giving, milky body oil – made in South Africa, ready for your brand.

Our Brightening Body Oil is a wholesale, private-label-ready emulsion built around BaoActiv C – a vitamin C complex derived from the South African baobab tree – and five plant-based oils. Its milky, slightly cushioned texture sits between a body milk and a traditional body oil: rich enough to deeply condition, light enough to absorb fully without a greasy after-feel.

Whether you’re launching your first skincare brand, expanding a salon’s retail shelf, or scaling an existing range into bulk production, this formula gives you a product that performs, looks luxurious on shelf, and aligns with the modern shopper’s expectations: vegan, cruelty-free, ethically formulated, and proudly South African.

A clean, modern body care formula

Castor, grapeseed, safflower, sunflower and olive oils work together as a deeply conditioning carrier system. Emulsified with water, glycerin and aloe, the formula glides on as a milky veil and finishes satin-soft instead of slick. Vitamin E protects. BaoActiv C- sourced from one of South Africa’s most iconic trees -supports a more radiant, even-looking complexion. The result is a body oil that hydrates like a lotion, conditions like an oil, and helps skin look healthier, brighter and more luminous over time.

Built for the brands changing what beauty looks like in South Africa

Like every Eunoia formulation, this body oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ingredients we’d happily use on our own skin. We do not, and will not, formulate skin-whitening products. “Brightening” here means radiance and even tone – the kind of glow that comes from healthy, well-cared-for skin.

Hero Ingredients

BaoActiv C (Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract – Baobab Vitamin C)

Our brightening hero. A South African baobab-derived natural vitamin C complex. Antioxidant. Helps support a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Locally sourced -a signature South African ingredient with a story you can be proud to put on your label.

Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil

The formula’s primary nourishing oil. Cold-pressed from grape seeds and naturally rich in linoleic acid (Omega-6) and vitamin E. Lightweight, fast-absorbing -conditions skin without ever feeling heavy.

Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil

Cold-pressed olive fruit oil -rich in oleic acid and natural squalene. Deeply emollient. Helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier and gives the formula its luxurious slip.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Pressed from the inner gel of the aloe vera leaf. Naturally soothing, calming and lightly hydrating – softens any tightness and balances the richness of the oils.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

A natural antioxidant. Protects the plant oils in the formula and supports skin’s own defence against free-radical damage from sun and pollution. A small percentage, big impact.

Supporting Cast

Every ingredient earns its place. Here’s what else is in the bottle and why.

A nourishing blend of Ricinus Communis (Castor), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oils – Three plant oils, each cold-pressed and chosen for their essential fatty acid profile. Together they deepen the conditioning, reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier, and add the satin slip you feel as the formula glides on.

Glycerin – Plant-derived humectant. Pulls moisture into the skin and helps it stay there.

Cetearyl Alcohol & Polysorbate 20 – The gentle, plant-derived emulsifier system. Cetearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol from coconut and palm (not the drying type of alcohol — these ones are emollient). Polysorbate 20 is derived from coconut and sugar alcohol. Together they let water and oil blend into the formula’s signature milky texture.

Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax – Plant wax from the leaves of the Brazilian carnauba palm. Gives the formula body and a non-greasy satin finish.

Aqua (Water) –The carrier base for all the water-soluble actives – BaoActiv C, aloe and glycerin.

Parfum (Fragrance) –This is completely up to the client’s choice, can be replaced and removed.

Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin – A modern, globally accepted preservative blend. Keeps the product safe across its shelf life. Paraben-free, formaldehyde-free.

How to Use:

Shake gently before use – the emulsion may settle slightly between uses. Apply a small amount onto clean, slightly damp skin after showering or bathing for the fastest absorption, or onto dry skin for a richer, more nourishing feel. Massage in circular motions until fully absorbed. Best used twice daily for visibly more radiant, even-toned skin. Suitable for all skin types. For external use only. Patch test before first use.
