Overview
A whole body moisturizing oil from Palmer's built on shea butter and vitamin E, sized at 8.5 fluid ounces and recommended for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
Palmer's positions this oil around soothing and replenishing very dry skin rather than light daily hydration, listing eczema as a recommended use alongside general dryness and sensitivity. The formula is labeled natural and vegan, made in the United States.
- Shea butter body oil with vitamin E
- Recommended for eczema-prone skin
- 8.5 fl oz, whole body use
- Natural, vegan, chemical free formula
Who it's for
Suits anyone managing persistently dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin who wants a body oil rather than a lotion. Less suited to anyone wanting a fast absorbing, lightweight daily moisturizer, since oils sit heavier on skin than lotions.

Performance notes
Shea butter supplies the emollient base that coats and softens skin, while vitamin E is included as an antioxidant to support the formula. Applied to the whole body, the oil format sits richer on skin than a lotion, which suits very dry or eczema-prone areas that need extra sealing.
