Beauty enthusiasts are raving about a new shimmering body oil from Saltair, which they say lasts all day, smells delicious, and doesn't transfer onto clothing. The Salt Water Vanilla Shimmering Body Oil, priced at £28 and available at SpaceNK, combines nourishing oils with golden pearl pigments to leave skin dewy and luminous.
Formula and Fragrance
The lightweight formula blends kukui, cacay, and squalene oils to moisturise and soothe, while fine golden pigments provide a glow-boosting finish. The Salt Water Vanilla scent offers a warm, summery fragrance, making it a popular choice for those who want their body care to double as a subtle perfume.
Saltair also offers the oil in Golden Hour and Pink Beach variations, providing options for different finishes and fragrances. For those who prefer a non-shimmer formula, Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil (£46.31, Lookfantastic) features notes of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla. BYOMA's Nourishing Body Oil (£12.71, Amazon) is a budget-friendly alternative with jojoba and seabuckthorn oil.
Shopper Reviews
One happy customer shared: "The perfect summer product! It glides on the skin seamlessly; it's not sticky. The best part is it doesn't transfer to clothes, which I feel a lot of these shimmer body oils do. The scent is gorgeous and long-lasting, so perfect for a day on holiday."
Another added: "Not only does this hydrate the skin and leave a beautiful shimmer, but it also smells absolutely incredible! The most soothing and delicious scent ever, a creamy vanilla with sandalwood leaving your skin smelling lush. I had so many compliments on this; my skin is quite sensitive to scents too, but this hasn't affected my skin at all."
While the Salt Water Vanilla scent has no negative reviews, a shopper who purchased the Pink Beach variant remarked: "I really wanted to love this as it looks beautiful in the bottle, but it is so, so glittery on the skin, and it doesn't dry down. I wore it the other day and was leaving glitter and oily residue everywhere I sat or touched; it just seemed to sit on my skin and not absorb."
However, a Saltair devotee countered: "Such a nice product, not sticky and smells gorgeous. Scent lasts all day and hits just perfect in the sunshine. Would definitely recommend. It doesn't transfer to clothes. Feels hydrating and luxurious! Best smell out of all of the shimmering oils from Saltair."
