Cyperus Rotundus Botanical Body Oil in 60 ml Dropper Bottle

You tip the amber bottle after a shower and three drops pool on your shin before your palm spreads them out.

The glass is that deep pharmacy amber that keeps light off the oil, and the white dropper draws just enough for one leg at a time. Sixty millilitres sits in a bottle 42 mm across and 123 mm tall, small enough to stand next to the tap without taking over the shelf. The oil itself is thin and slips across skin rather than sitting on it, so a shin takes about four drops and an underarm takes one.

The label on the bottle reads Cyperus Rotundus Oil, Hair Removal Formula for Silky Confidence, and the maker prints the same words on the carton. We sell it as what it physically is, a botanical body oil. The maker lists cyperus rotundus oil alongside tea tree, jojoba, sweet almond and rosehip oils and aloe extract, and prints phthalate free, sulfate free, paraben free and no artificial fragrance on the box. Sweet almond oil is a tree nut derivative, so read that line first if nuts are a problem for you.

Key Benefits

• Amber glass and a pipette The dropper lets you count drops instead of pouring, which is what makes a 60 ml bottle last on legs and underarms.
• Thin, fast sinking texture The oil spreads and absorbs rather than staying tacky, so you can dress a couple of minutes later.
• Named botanical blend Cyperus rotundus, tea tree, jojoba, sweet almond and rosehip oils with aloe extract, all listed by the maker on the box panel.
• Sized for the zones the maker shows Underarms, legs, forearms and chest are the four areas printed on the maker's own usage artwork.
• Free from list printed on the carton Phthalate free, sulfate free, paraben free and no artificial fragrance, as stated by the maker.
• Adults only The maker's sheet says adults and states plainly that it is not for infants.

Best for: anyone who wants a plain botanical body oil for legs, underarms, forearms and chest after shaving or waxing, and who wants to know exactly what the bottle will say before it arrives.

Why It Works

Most of what makes this bottle usable is mechanical rather than chemical. Amber glass slows light damage on a blend that is mostly plant oils. The pipette meters the dose, which is the difference between 60 ml lasting two months and lasting three weeks. And a thin oil that absorbs is the only kind you can put on an underarm in the morning, because a heavy one marks a shirt.

Quick Product Facts: Botanical body oil in amber glass with a white dropper cap; 60 ml (2 fl oz); bottle 42 x 42 x 123 mm; oils named by the maker: cyperus rotundus, tea tree, jojoba, sweet almond, rosehip, plus aloe extract; contains a tree nut derivative (sweet almond); carton prints phthalate free, sulfate free, paraben free and no artificial fragrance; maker states adults, not for infants; box holds one labelled bottle and nothing else.

How It Fits Your Routine

Evening is the easy slot. Skin is clean and dry, nothing is going to rub the oil off, and it has all night to sink in. Four to six drops per shin, two per forearm, one per underarm, worked in with flat fingers until the shine goes.

The day after a wax or a shave is the other obvious moment, and it is the moment the maker's own artwork points to. Wait until the skin is calm, patch a small area first, and stop using it if it stings.

Store the bottle upright and out of the sun. Plant oils turn faster on a windowsill than in a drawer, and the amber glass only does half of that job.

FAQ

The bottle says Hair Removal Formula. Does it remove hair? No, and we do not claim that it does. It is an oil you rub into skin. It has no blade, no strip and no depilatory action, and no test report comes with it. We make no claim that it removes, reduces, slows or thins hair. If you want hair off, that is a razor, a wax or a depilatory cream.

Why does your title say body oil when the box says something else? Because a body oil is what the object is. We tell you the maker's wording so you know what will be printed on the bottle in your hand, and we decline to repeat it as a promise.

What is actually in it? The oils the maker names on the box panel: cyperus rotundus, tea tree, jojoba, sweet almond and rosehip, with aloe extract. The carton prints no full ingredient list and no percentages, so we quote none.

Is there a nut allergen? Yes. Sweet almond oil is listed by the maker, and almond is a tree nut. Do not use it if you react to tree nuts.
