Susanne Kaufmann Arnica Body Oil

A nourishing body oil designed to support skin elasticity, replenish moisture, and comfort the skin as it naturally stretches.

Susanne Kaufmann Arnica Body Oil provides intensive nourishment during periods of physical change, when fluctuations in skin volume can leave the body feeling tight, dry, or less supple. Suitable for use throughout pregnancy, it supports the skin as it stretches while leaving it soft, flexible, and comfortably conditioned.

A replenishing blend of sweet almond, jojoba, wheat germ, rapeseed, and sunflower oils supplies essential fatty acids and antioxidant care. Arnica flower extract supports the skin’s natural functions, while vitamin E helps protect against environmental oxidative stress.

Lightweight and silky, the oil absorbs readily without heaviness. With consistent massage, the skin feels smoother, more resilient, and deeply nourished.

Benefits:

• Supports skin elasticity and suppleness
• Helps protect and comfort the skin as it stretches
• Nourishes dry, tight, or moisture-depleted skin
• Replenishes the skin with conditioning botanical oils
• Helps improve the appearance of smoothness and flexibility
• Supports the skin’s natural protective functions
• Provides antioxidant care with vitamin E
• Suitable for use throughout pregnancy
• Absorbs readily without a heavy or greasy finish

Recommended For:

• Pregnancy and periods of changing skin volume
• Areas prone to visible stretch marks
• Dry, tight, or moisture-depleted skin
• Skin experiencing reduced suppleness or elasticity
• Mature or environmentally stressed skin
• Daily body massage and moisturising rituals

No topical oil can guarantee the prevention or removal of stretch marks. Regular moisturising and massage can help maintain softness, flexibility, and comfort as the skin stretches.

The formula contains fragrance and naturally occurring fragrance allergens. Patch test before use if your skin is highly reactive or fragrance-sensitive.

Why It’s Different:

Arnica Body Oil was created specifically for moments when the skin is undergoing change. Rather than focusing only on surface softness, its blend of emollient botanical oils helps replenish the skin’s lipid layer and maintain the suppleness needed as the skin stretches.

Sweet almond, jojoba, and wheat germ oils provide concentrated nourishment, while arnica flower extract supports the skin’s natural functions. Applying the oil with daily massage also creates an intentional ritual that encourages consistent care of areas experiencing tightness or rapid change.

Texture & Aroma:

A silky, lightweight body oil that glides easily across the skin, making it particularly well suited to massage.

It absorbs without a heavy finish, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and delicately conditioned. The formula has a subtle aromatic fragrance and is not fragrance-free.

How to Use:

1. Apply daily after showering or bathing.
2. Leave the skin slightly damp rather than drying it completely.
3. Warm a small amount of oil between the palms.
4. Massage into the skin using long, upward circular movements.
5. Focus on the abdomen, breasts, hips, thighs, and other areas experiencing stretching or dryness.
6. Allow the oil to absorb before dressing.

For pregnancy care, apply consistently throughout pregnancy and continue during the postpartum period as desired. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

Consistency matters more than using a large amount. Massage Arnica Body Oil into slightly damp skin every day, spending a little extra time on the abdomen, hips, thighs, breasts, and any area that feels tight or uncomfortable.

For additional nourishment, blend a few drops with Susanne Kaufmann Body Butter. This creates a richer treatment for very dry skin while preserving the beautiful slip of the oil.

It may also be paired with Susanne Kaufmann Alkali Salts as part of a relaxing bathing ritual. During pregnancy, always follow the product directions and speak with your healthcare provider if you have questions about bathing products, essential oils, or individual sensitivities.
