Black Chicken Body Oil

This Australian Body Oil was sent to me a little while ago, I have to admit that the name did slightly put me off, but when I completely ran out of my favourite Rodin Body Oil I grabbed this from the office. I have to say I love it.

First things first, why the hell evoke images of smelly, scratchy chickens when trying to sell a beauty product? Black Chicken is named after the legend of an ancient medicine woman, renowned for her healing powers. It’s memorable I’ll give it that.

The wonderful thing about oils is manufacturers don’t need to add loads of synthetics just to make the thing set properly like they do with creams. This one is 100% natural, containing 12 remedial oils – Avocado, Rosehip, Hazlenut, Coconut, Vitamin E oils and essential oils of Sandalwood, Geranium Bourdon, Patchouli, Lavender, Carrot (?), Ylang Ylang and Nutmeg. You can imagine how intoxicatingly good the smell is, it works for both men and women. The concentrations are obviously well thought through as the oil disappears easily into the skin, leaving nothing behind but the lovely scent and happy, dewy skin. alexia inge
