Roman Chamomile After-Bath Body Oil Recipe
This Roman chamomile after-bath body oil is made for that few-minute window after a shower or bath when your skin is still slightly damp and ready for a light layer of oil. Roman chamomile gives the blend a soft floral sweetness, while lavender and frankincense keep it smooth and grown-up.
The finished oil is lighter than a body butter and easier to use year-round. Apply a small amount to damp skin, let it sink in, and enjoy the gentle scent without feeling covered in heavy perfume.
Benefits
- Helps seal in moisture after a bath or shower, when skin is still slightly damp and more ready for body oil.
- Leaves dry or tight-feeling skin feeling softer, smoother, and more comfortable.
- Gives the skin a light, nourishing finish without the heaviness of a thick body butter.
- Roman chamomile adds a gentle, calming floral note, making this a lovely choice for an evening body care routine.
- Helps support a softer-looking glow on arms, legs, shoulders, and other dry areas.
- Works well as a simple post-bath moisturizer if you prefer oil-based body care over lotion.

- 5 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon apricot kernel oil or sweet almond oil

Roman chamomile essential oil:
Roman chamomile gives the body oil a soft, comforting floral note that suits after-bath use. It is one of the gentlest essential oils for skincare.
