Following my previous post about Body Oil, here’s my review
for Utama Spice Lavender Body Oil.
Being in Indonesia, specially in Bali, Utama Spice’s
products are easy to get. Not only their own store, Guardian and Century Pharmacy
also has a handful of Utama Spice’s product. Their Body Oils are retailed for
around IDR 101,000 but with member card, you can get it somewhat cheaper.
Utama Spice’s Body Oil packaged nicely in purple glass
bottle, securing product inside from light. But actually for Body Oil, plastic
bottle is fine enough.
The product supposed to be pouring from this normal size
hole, but mine is hardly come out. I’ve tried to cut the bottom part of those
plastic but nothing changed. Oh well. I want the body shop’s plastic bottle
please! Nope, I don’t really want comparing but this problem aching my heart.
As per now on, I depotted the Lavender Body Oil to my old Body Shop plastic
bottle. Solved!
Product inside is simply made of Soja (Soy) Oil, Coconut Oil and
Lavender Essential Oil. After doing further research about body oil, I was a
little bit regretting my purchase because Coconut Oil (organic, not food grade)
and Soja Oil are cheap and easy to find I could made it myself. However, the
Lavender smells good and relaxing. A friend of mine complement saying that she
thought I was just back from spa ritual because I smell so great.
It might unable to seen on pict, but the texture is a bit
thick. It supposed to be, because even Soja Oil is light and easy to absorb,
Coconut oil doing a bigger impact and thickened it. However, with some mix with
water during application, it’s still easy to spread and absorb.
I use it on my body and hair. Body oil for obvious reason,
and because as far as I know, coconut oil is widely used for hair oil (please
read further for each ingredient below). But please just use a little amount of
this for your hair. The thick texture would make hair looks greasy, so less is
enough.

in a bottle and shake! Super easy and very economic. It’s doesn’t even needed
to use organic carrier oil here, but it’s purely your preference.
***
Actually, after re-reading
my own draft, I want to apply another layer of body oil! It really has great
benefit on skin. At least when I skip applying this for a day or two, my skin
is just fine. Means it really doing a good job moisturizing my skin that some
forgetfulness are forgiven.
Will I repurchase in
future? Maybe if price reduced, and the bottle changed.. I would consider to.
Thank you for reading
and I hope that helps!
