Why Ella & Lucy Chooses Plant-Based Body Oils Over Synthetic Fillers
Share
At Ella & Lucy The Collection, we believe self-care should be both luxurious and beneficial for your skin. That’s why we choose plant-based body oils. Our fragrance body oils are crafted with carefully selected hydrating ingredients like grapeseed oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E, instead of the inexpensive synthetic fillers found in many mass-produced body oils.
The short version: a great body oil should smell incredible and nourish your skin. Here’s a closer look at what goes into every bottle, and why it matters.
Your Skin Deserves More Than Fragrance
Many commercial body oils focus mainly on scent. They often contain mineral oil, petroleum-derived ingredients, silicones or synthetic fillers that simply sit on the surface of the skin. These ingredients may give temporary shine, but they offer little nourishment and hydration.
Our philosophy is different. Your body oil should do more than smell amazing—it should help support soft, healthy-looking skin.
Grapeseed Oil: Lightweight, Fast-Absorbing Hydration
Grapeseed oil is one of our favorite ingredients because it is lightweight, fast-absorbing and rich in antioxidants.
Benefits of grapeseed oil:
- Helps moisturize without leaving a greasy residue
- Rich in linoleic acid, which supports the skin’s moisture barrier
- Contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors
- Leaves skin feeling silky smooth and refreshed
Because of its light texture, grapeseed oil allows our fragrances to wear beautifully while keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day.
Jojoba Oil: Nature’s Moisturizer
Jojoba oil is often called nature’s moisturizer because its composition closely resembles the skin’s natural oils.
Benefits of jojoba oil:
- Helps balance moisture levels
- Absorbs easily into the skin
- Supports soft, supple skin
- Suitable for many skin types
Rather than creating a heavy coating on the skin, jojoba oil works in harmony with your body’s natural moisture barrier to promote lasting hydration.
Vitamin E: Antioxidant Support for Smoother-Feeling Skin
Vitamin E is a skincare favorite for good reason.
Benefits of vitamin E:
- Helps lock in moisture
- Provides antioxidant protection
- Supports smoother-feeling skin
- Helps extend the freshness and stability of natural oils
Adding vitamin E to our body oils enhances both the skincare benefits and the overall quality of every bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is grapeseed oil good in a body oil?
Yes. Grapeseed oil is lightweight, fast-absorbing and rich in antioxidants, so it helps moisturize without a greasy residue and lets fragrance wear beautifully.
Is jojoba oil suitable for all skin types?
Jojoba oil is suitable for many skin types because its composition closely resembles the skin’s natural oils. As with any new skincare product, we recommend a patch test first if you have sensitive skin.
Why avoid mineral oil and synthetic fillers in body oil?
Ingredients like mineral oil, silicones and synthetic fillers tend to sit on the surface of the skin. They can give temporary shine but offer little nourishment and hydration, which is why we use plant-based oils instead.
What does vitamin E do in a body oil?
Vitamin E helps lock in moisture, provides antioxidant protection and helps extend the freshness and stability of natural oils.
