From Flaky Skin to Radiant Glow: My Journey to Creating a Clean, Non-Greasy Body Oil

From Flaky Skin to Radiant Glow: My Journey to Creating a Clean, Non-Greasy Body Oil

Growing up, my mom was always the voice of caution. She’d tell me about the carcinogenic toxins in skincare products, especially lotions. Parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances—the list went on. Her warnings stuck with me, and as a result, I rarely used lotion. In fact, I can count on one hand how many bottles of body lotion I’ve ever bought.

But my skin paid the price. Winters were the worst. Taking off my leggings felt like shaking out a snow globe—flakes of dry skin scattered everywhere. My legs were so dry they looked like cracked desert sand. I always wanted radiant, dewy looking skin.

When I finally gave oils a try, I thought I’d found the answer. But every oil I used turned me into a human slip 'n slide—my husband couldn’t resist pointing out that I felt like a buttered pancake and I could never get dressed without ruining my clothes!

That’s when I knew: if I wanted something that truly worked for me, I’d have to create it myself.

I dove deep into research, studying clean beauty ingredients and learning about the power of botanicals. I discovered the magic of oils like Abyssinian, Rose Hip, Marula, and Passion Fruit—all rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids that nourish and hydrate the skin without clogging pores. Best of all they're straight from Mother Nature!

I also learned about naturally derived emollients like Coco-Caprylate and Isoamyl Cocoate, which give a silky, non-greasy finish, unlike the synthetic fillers you’ll find in most conventional products. I could never. find a product that wasn't laden with toxic chemicals either!

That rabbit hole of discovery led to Manifest Radiance Dry Body Oil. It’s a luxurious, fast-absorbing blend of nature’s most effective oils, designed to deeply hydrate, enhance your natural glow, and leave your skin velvety soft—all without toxins, synthetic ingredients, or greasiness.
