Test result preview
Themoisturising body oil from VitalizeNature provides all skin types with valuable moisture and nourishes and regenerates the skin in a natural and gentle way. Regardless of the season, the body oil is suitable for every occasion. It is based on high-quality plant oils and natural extracts, which makes it particularly attractive for nature and environmentally conscious people who attach great importance to the ingredients in their skincare products. The healthy and nourishing ingredients also include honey and aloe vera, which have a beneficial effect but are not suitable for a vegan lifestyle. The pleasant, subtle fragrance leaves a pleasant odour on the skin that is not overpowering or artificial. A notable disadvantage , however, is thesomewhat greasy film that remains on the skin after application and the longer time it takes for the oil to be fully absorbed.
Advantages
- Based on high-quality plant oils and natural extracts
- With honey and aloe vera
- Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin

Disadvantages
- Leaves a light greasy film
- Not vegan

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The product arrived for our test in a neutral shipping box, which was easy to open and in good condition . Inside the box was the body oil without any plastic packaging, which we find very commendable. The product itself was in perfect condition and had no damage or other defects. The PET bottle made a high-quality impression, as did the dispenser. However, the label with the logo and product description did not look particularly appealing . The instructions for use and the ingredients on the back were also printed in too small a font and in different sizes. While the ingredient information is only available in English , the other information such as instructions for use and product description are included in German, English and Spanish.

The moisturising body oil from VitalizeNature is extremely economical, as the specified amount of 5 ml is enough to completely rub into both arms. To test skin tolerance , the oil was applied to the sensitive area under the crook of the arm and left on for 30 minutes. After this time, no skin reactions were observed, which indicates very good tolerance. The pleasant scent of the oil, which is reminiscent of honey, remains present even after 10 minutes and provides a soothing experience. The application time on the skin is around 6 minutes until the body oil is fully absorbed, so you need to be patient for a moment. After application and application time, a test cloth was used to check the residue on the oiled skin. The test cloth showed only minimal, barely perceptible residues, which also emphasises the application positively and underlines the overall successful impression of the product.
