Dubai, September 3, 2015: Life is beautiful – but it is also demanding. It’s as intense as it is inspiring; as frantic as it is fulfilling. And this incredible life we experience each day, can take its toll on your skin resulting in the need for radiance. Reach for Oils of LifeTM, a daily life-infusing skincare range to revitalise skin, replenish nutrition, revive radiance and visibly reduce signs of ageing*.

The power is in seed oils. Because we believe that when you want your skin to look beautiful and revitalised, there’s one answer: the potent, precious power of seed oils from around the world. Every product in this potent new range contains an expert blend of three of these exceptional seed oils, known for their supreme abilities to repair and revitalise skin. 

We searched all over the world and selected from three continents, three of the most precious and potent natural seed oils known since ancient times for their richness in essential nutrients and supreme restoring properties.

“The Body Shop has always sourced ingredients from around the world and taken inspiration from traditional beauty rituals.
When our team discovered the potency of those 3 seed oils from Egypt, Chile and China, we decided to create a skincare range that would replenish nutrition, 
deeply revitalise the skin and provide visible radiance to women.” 
- Arnaud Jeanteur, General Manager The Body Shop International

 

THE SEED OIL REVOLUTION

PURE EXTRACTS OF LIFE FOR YOUR SKIN
Seeds give life to a new plant, making seed oils one of the most concentrated sources of essential nutrients on Earth.
Cold-pressed to their pure form, we preserve their potent properties and ensure the utmost affinity to skin.

Black Cumin Seed Oil from the Egyptian Nile Valley – known for its concentration in antioxidants

Rosehip Seed Oil from the Andes foothills of Chile - rich in omega 3 and 6

Camellia Seed Oil from the evergreen trees of China - naturally rich in nutritive oleic acids

The Body Shop’s trio of natural seed oils in Oils of LifeTM are at the forefront of a new beauty revolution, infused in our unique formulas to revitilise skin, replenish nutrition, revive radiance and visibly reduce signs of ageing*.“Concentrated inside each seed is the power to fuel new life. These natural powerhouses provide fundamental nutrients from antioxidants to vitamins. The carefully balanced blend of black cumin, rosehip and camellia seed oils is a powerful potent formula.  Individually, each one of these precious seed oils is a skin saver and blended together, they provide nutrition for the skin, resulting in radiance.” Jennifer Hirsch, Beauty Botanist for The Body Shop.

“There’s a reason why oils have become skincare’s new obsession: not only are they incredibly nourishing, ultra-lightweight and quick to absorb – but they also have the perfect texture to penetrate skin easily and deeply. Seed oils are particularly exciting because their potency provides nutrition and radiance. “My clients have learned about the benefits of using oil on skin and understand that facial oils won’t make your skin oilier. Oils have the incredible ability to leave skin soft and supple without being greasy or sticky, while mitigating irritation, thanks to the natural healing effects of the oils.
“Dr. Terry Global Skincare Expert for The Body Shop”

And now the beauty world is excited about how beneficial these natural powerful seed oils are for our skin: 

'Oils have the most wonderful effect on the complexion due to their high affinity with the skin. You can literally see the radiance and suppleness being restored and dull skin coming back to life as all of those incredible nutrients go to work.' Vanda Serrador Facialist and Body Care Expert for The Body Shop.

The Body Shop offers two replenishing moisturising creams with very special textures. Choose from a cream or gel-cream based on your skin type and/or seasonality. 

“People need to be conscious to change their moisturiser depending on if they are travelling, lifestyle changes or when the weather changes.  It’s important to understand your skin and be aware when you are over or under moisturising. Now my clients have the option of a fresher gel-cream as a lighter alternative or a more intense hydrating cream.”
-    Dr. Terry, Global Skincare Expert for The Body Shop

“What sets each moisturiser apart is its ability to deliver radiance benefits with a unique skin feel. This is down to the special magic in seeds. Plant oils are composed of fatty acids. These influence the texture of an oil and the speed at which it is absorbed into the top layer of the skin. The ratio of fatty acids is a bit like a fingerprint, distinguishing one oil from another. These two formulations take advantage of this; balancing camellia oil’s richness with rosehip oil’s emollient lighter texture to deliver two moisturisers with the same nourishing efficacy yet with distinctly different weights and skin feel.”Jennifer Hirsch Beauty Botanist for The Body Shop.
