What we like
  • Multi-use formula
  • Hydrating
Something to note
  • May leave skin slick

Sweet almond oil is the star ingredient of this shower oil, which is used because it instantly softens the skin and is rich in nutrients, according to the brand. As you spread the formula over your body in the shower, it turns from an oil into a milky lather. The soft lather also makes it good for shaving and helps the razor glide over skin more easily.

The oil, which has a 4.4-star average rating from over 13,900 reviews on Amazon, comes in a recycled plastic bottle and is available in three sizes — 1-ounce, 8.4-ounces and 16.9-ounces. In addition to using it as a shower gel, L’Occitane recommends squirting a little into a warm bath to scent it and leave your skin soft and smooth when you emerge.
