FAQs
Can I use this on my face?
This product is primarily formulated for the body; it is not recommended for facial use due to the shimmer particles and potential fragrance sensitivity.
Is the mica sustainably sourced?
Yes, The Body Shop prioritizes the use of sustainably-sourced mica to ensure ethical standards are met.
Will this stain my clothes?
While the oil itself is clear, the mica shimmer particles may transfer. It is best to wait until the oil is fully absorbed into the skin before dressing.
How often should I apply this?
You can use this as often as you like, typically once a day for a subtle glow or whenever you want to highlight your skin.
Is this product vegan?
The Body Shop maintains high ethical standards, and this formula focuses on plant-based ingredients like coconut oil.
Troubleshooting
Shimmer particles are concentrated at the bottom of the bottle
Gently shake the bottle for 10-15 seconds before application to redistribute the mica.
Oil feels too heavy on the skin
Use a smaller amount and apply it to damp skin immediately after showering to improve absorption.
Transfer of shimmer to clothing
Allow the product to dry on the skin for 5 minutes before dressing or wear loose, darker clothing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this product; it is ready to use straight from the bottle. It is compatible with all skin types, though those with sensitive skin should perform a patch test on the inner forearm before full-body application. To maintain product integrity, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent leakage. If you notice any separation of the shimmer particles, simply invert or shake the bottle to mix the formula before your next application.
