Review: Hydrating the skin to ultimate softness! - Item arrived quickly and with no issues. It was taped closed so thankfully no spillage. The oil is very hydrating and makes my skin very soft. It doesn’t have much of a smell and is a your typical transparent color of oil. I have noticed that with the daily usage over a week that my feet have become very soft. Review: Very lovely moisturizer for summer! - I ordered this because I ran out of my usual lavender almond oil and because it is now height of summer and I have been spending a lot of time outside in the pool and sun tanning, I wanted something more tropical and a little more kick for soothing my sunned skin. A lot of sun products seem to contain Kukui oil... not sure why other than it is a tropical ingredient? I had purchased an after sun lotion on a trip t Florida a number of years ago from the stand by the hotel pool, after I got a sunburn on my first day :( I really loved the fragrance although I have had to stop using this lotion because as nice as it smells it always seems to flare up my eczema very badly. Anyway, this led me to search for other products that may have the same ingredients that give the lotion its distinctly tropical scent and being that the bottle says kukui oil I was like...word- when I found this. This doesn't really smell like the lotion but it does smell really good and in fact smells exactly like my Maui Babe Browning Lotion- which ALSO contains kukui oil. Now I know. The best way I can describe it.. (and I am NOT sure how "baby oil" is interpreted from the smell of this oil) is instant coffee. I always feel like I smell like Folgers instant coffee crystals after I have used my browning lotion and sometimes question if that is what the brown tint is in the formula lolol apparently the scent is from the kukui oil. It smells, to me, very tropical. Like a coconutty coffee concoction. The oil is a little thicker than my lavender oil which is perfect because I needed something stronger for being in my pool and stuff. It goes on nicely, smells great with a very light scent that is not strong or perfumy. A little goes a long way and the bottle arrived extra super wrapped with a protective film over the lid to prevent accidental spillage or leakage in shipping which I appreciated. It leaves my skin very soft and smooth. Because I have been spending so much time out in the heat, sun, humidity, sweating, wearing bug spray and sunscreen and sitting in chlorinated water and being perpetually wet from the hose and stuff my eczema is doing its usual beginning of summer weather reaction to all this and I flared up like crazy all over my thighs and arms last week. It is getting under control now but feel like this oil did NOT irritate my flare up at all and actually soothed it so that is a huge bonus. Straight coconut oil is my go-to normally but it was getting too greasy so now I have this. ## Features - One 8.5 oz. bottle of Alba Botanica Intense Hydration Body Oil, with Kukui Nut and Viamin E - Kukui nut softens and nurtures skin - Made with a plant-based blend of botanical ingredients like sunflower seed oil, macadamia seed oil and sweet almond oil - 100% vegetarian formula made without harsh ingredients like parabens, phthalates or synthetic fragrances - Always cruelty-free, never tested on animals; recognized by the Leaping Bunny Program ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000ILKUZ6 | | ASIN | B000ILKUZ6 | | Active Ingredients | vitamin_e | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,978 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #160 in Body Oils | | Brand Name | Alba Botanica | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country as Labeled | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (8,277) | | Department | Health and Beauty>Health and Wellness | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00724742008345 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 2.36 x 2.36 x 7.09 inches | | Item Form | Oil | | Item Volume | 8.5 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 8.5 Ounces | | Item model number | 9903 | | Manufacturer | Alba Botanica | | Manufacturer | Alba Botanica | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9903 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 6 months - 3 years | | Material Features | Cruelty Free, Vegan | | Material Type Free | Phthalate Free | | Model Name | us-jap-hu-nii-ma1326 | | Model Number | 9903 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Moisturising | | Product Benefits | Hypoallergenic | | Product Dimensions | 2.36 x 2.36 x 7.09 inches; 8.5 ounces | | Recommended Uses For Product | Moisturizing | | Scent Name | Kukui Nut | | Skin Type | Dry | | Special Ingredients | Almond Oil | | Specific Uses For Product | Dryness | | Target Use Body Part | Whole Body | | UPC | 724742008345 | | UPC | 724742008345 | | Unit Count | 251 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Alba Botanica - **Item Volume:** 8.5 Fluid Ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 2.36 x 2.36 x 7.09 inches - **Special Feature:** Moisturising ## Images ![Intense Hydration Body Oil, with Kukui Nut and Viamin E, 8.5 Oz (Packaging May Vary) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M0X7Y2+sL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is Kukui Nut oil in the ingredients? (I don't see it)** A: Yes, Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil is Kukui Nut Oil **Q: Could this work to make the hair smell nice? I have fine, wavy hair. I saw someone else used it on dreads, I guess I'm wondering if the scent lasts** A: I use this as an after-shower body moisturizer. I put it on before drying off with a towel. It is somewhat like baby oil but has a wonderful scent. It's a mild scent that doesn't last too long. **Q: Can you use this in your hair?** A: It's pure oil--so you might deep moisturize the ends of your hair with it? **Q: Can I use it on face ? Safe ?** A: I believe it could be used on the face. It is very oily so I don't know that I would..... I love it for my body especially in the winter months. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hydrating the skin to ultimate softness! *by J***R on March 26, 2026* Item arrived quickly and with no issues.
