Spotlight On The Sensual Body Oil
A dive into our skin-conditioning, lymph-boosting, and sense-tickling wellness product. SCENTIANA’s Sensual Body Oil has been skilfully and consciously formulated to provide multiple benefits and overall well-being.
It's a silky, lightweight yet nourishing base of sunflower seed and rosehip oils, intertwined with a bouquet of powerful botanical extracts.
Nutrient-dense Oils
Sunflower seed oil mainly consists of oleic and linoleic acids, with a higher concentration of linoleic acid which plays a key part in enhancing skin barrier repair. As a result, it is perfectly fitting in our body oil. Sunflower seed oil has been clinically shown to improve the hydration of adult skin.¹
To complement the virtues of sunflower seed oil which provides great hydration, we included rosehip oil which adds moisture and locks it in to keep the skin soft, supple, and nourished. Its incredible combination of anti-inflammatory fatty acids (including oleic, palmitic, linoleic, and linolenic) and antioxidants can help improve both skin texture and pigmentation, by creating a smoother, more even skin tone. Rosehip oil is rich in Vitamin E, anthocyanin, and carotenoids, which are antioxidants that provide additional protection against free radicals, and contribute to repairing sun damage caused by UV exposure. Rosehip is also used to soothe irritated skin conditions.²
Amazing Botanicals
Sensual Body Oil aims to elevate your beauty ritual and your approach to self-care, and one way to achieve this is by harnessing the amazing wonder of botanical ingredients. Our following plant extracts work synergistically to provide a true sensorial experience:
- Calendula: Moves the lymph and soothes skin irritations, it also helps promote healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and sunburns.
- Arnica: Has renowned anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that contribute to reducing redness, sores, and bruises. Arnica speeds up healing as it increases circulation.
- Damiana: Rich in flavonoids with aphrodisiac and stimulating properties. Damiana is known to boost the production of nitric oxide and has components that support relaxation.
- Jasmine: Carries strong antiseptic and antibacterial components; it is one of the most sacred flowers to combat premature wrinkles, and fade hyperpigmentation. Jasmine boosts microcirculation which provides toning effects, and encourages cell renewal. The alluring scent of jasmine promotes self-love, by boosting confidence, enhancing mood, and reducing anxiety.
- Saffron flower: Possesses photoprotective and moisturising effects. Rich in antioxidants, it has the potential to act as a UV absorber. Saffron flower also soothes the skin and eliminates redness.
- Damask rose: A highly versatile ingredient that is refreshing, toning, soothing, nourishing and moisturising. Rose has strong toning and astringent benefits to combat premature aging and wrinkles, while also supporting the formation of collagen and elastin. The smell of roses releases chemical signals in the brain that increase feelings of well-being. Damascus is the most fragrant variety, uplifting and calming.
- Ashwagandha: This ayurvedic adaptogen has balancing and rejuvenating benefits, and improves skin elasticity and hydration.
- Red marine algae: A mineral-rich ingredient with high polyphenol, vitamin, and polyunsaturated fatty acid contents. Very nourishing and beneficial for dry skin, it also offers joint health support. Red marine algae holds strong water-binding properties, thus maintaining the skin deeply hydrated, supple, and plump.
- Vanilla: Rich in vanillin and antioxidant properties; it has been used to reduce skin inflammation for instance caused by psoriasis and can improve skin elasticity and radiance. The scent of Vanilla boosts relaxation and may help lower heart rate.
- Neroli: Topically, neroli is known for helping fade dark spots, scars, and stretch marks. Its aroma can help lower cortisol levels by inviting the brain to release serotonin.
To create our versatile miracle worker, we also added lactic acid to the formula. Lactic acid is a gentle AHA that promotes the skin's natural exfoliation process. It smoothes scaly skin, and unlike other forms of acids, is utterly suitable for sensitive skin because it also has hydrating properties. Its presence in our blend guarantees a silky soft skin, with fewer marks and dry spots.

Each SCENTIANA product carries a bespoke aroma story at its heart and Sensual Body Oil has its signature olfactory profile: richly sweet and suggestive, it’s a scent that ignites the senses.
