Linden Leaves Body Oil (all varieties) Review

I was gifted a travel size linden leaves 'in love again' oil for my birthday and wow was I impressed... the oil makes your skin supple and smooth and has a fruity scent that takes me to a far away tropical destination when I smell it :)

If you're looking for body oil, this is a very elegant choice. It's not cheap, but the large bottle means value for money. As with most good body oils, a little goes a long way, so this bottle will last you ages.

But let's talk about the fruit. Linden Leaves presentation is so beautiful, with fruit and flowers suspended in their body oils. For that reason, this was my choice when purchasing a massage oil for hubby (I chose the scent 'In Love Again' - cheesy but suitable for a romantic massage!).

The bottles are not super quick to get into, but they will never spill in your overnight bag (the WORST!) and the scent is nice, but not too strong (as a massage oil you can't have anything that is so girly hubby won't use it on you, can you?).

Linden Leaves body oils are such a classic item, but they are still super luxurious. I first bought one of these as a fancy treat item, and was amazed to find out much later that they are actually an NZ family-fun company.

I love body oil as I find my dry skin only needs a tiny bit to look super happy and healthy. This means although this product is not cheap, a little goes a long way, making it more cost-effective than thicker lotions.

I love the range of scents available in Linden Leaves, and the fact they try to choose gentle ingredients that won't bother people with sensitive skin. I'm also super impressed how well they've stood the test of time as a brand. You know when a semi-expensive, natural brand lasts, it's because they make good stuff that people want to repurchase.

In the interest of providing SOMETHING negative, the packaging isn't particularly easy to get into. This means it is highly unlikely to leak in your bag, but you also need to do up the screw cap with greasy mitts. You win some, you lose some!

I got this oil in a BBBE. I'm a fan of Linden Leaves and I loved the look of this in the packet so I couldn't wait to try it.

Firstly it comes i a cute yellow box with the sides open so you can see the bottle inside. The bottle itself is clear plastic and you can see the beautiful oil inside and what appears to be a slice of lemon. The bottle has a silver screw top and when it is removed the bottle has a plastic cap with a hole. This is not ideal for extracting the oil, but that's a small issue really.

The product itself is divine. It smells like heaven - warm and sweet and citrusy. It makes me feel relaxed. The oil is quite thick and soft and feels like comfort food on my skin. I've been applying it to my face every night and it is very hydrating. My skin feels quite soft in the morning.

All I can say is that I love it! It's so nice to apply before bed, and then enjoy the lingering scent as I drift off to sleep. I'm very keen to try the other flavours having tried the rosehip and avocado.

I highly recommend it and think of it as a luxury product. I'm not sure what this 60ml size would cost, but whatever it is it's worth it. I've been using it for ages and it's barely made a dent in the bottle.

I have the full sized 'in love again' body oil. The bottle is clear so you can see the strawberry and tamarillo which is cool.

The oil itself is very thick and has a subtle scent. I find that a little bit of oil goes a long way, this is good because the oil is expensive so the fact that its long lasting is a great thing, cause i've used cheaper body oils that you often need to actually use a-lot of oil making them less cost efficient.

I use the oil mostly on my thigh area before bed and like to massage it into my skin. My skin gets very dry so i need something deeply moisturising and this is the product for that!!

I was given this by a friend. I keep it next to the bed and make my hubby give me back rubs. The lavender smells beautiful and relaxes me. This is pure indulgence and I feel all my troubles lifting from me while my husband rubs the gorgeous oil into my back. It all rubs in well and doesn't leave any oily residue.

This oil comes in very beautiful packaging, flowers inside the bottle and looks great in the bathroom. It has an adorable smell, so so yummy. I use it on my baby after bath and he smells so delicious. I use small amount as it is completely enough so this bottle will last me for a long time. Absorbs fast and is non greasy. I got this for free but if I could afford would definitely buy it as it really worth the money.

I absolutely love this oil!

I have this in my bathroom and use it sparingly after shower for the fear of running out lol.

This oil smells amazing! I love rose scents and this has a very strong lovely rose scent. The fragrance stays on your skin and clothes for ages.

It is great for moisturizing and also makes a nice massage oil. I have also added it to the bath to give it a lovely smell.

It is a little pricey but a little goes a long way and it does last a long time.

This oil is in a beautiful glass bottle and sitting inside it is a rose, the bottle has a nice pump top and easy to squirt this clear slightly yellow oil out. The sweet smell of rose and a ylang ylang are the first notes to hit me then it dies down to a sweet rose, this is a really nice fragrance. This is a really moisturising oil and it soaks in pretty quickly, so freshly out of the shower and the oil warmed up a bit in the palm of my hand and if my skin is damp this is easy to spread around. But dry skin and it just sucks in there and then and no spreading. I've used this on my face and neck as well as a body oil. This is a beautiful moisturising oil, I have put a couple of drops of this in as a bath oil and that's been great. I've found I've used it quite a bit as a face oil and putting a good amount on and just letting it sit on my skin at night that my skin looks more refreshed a little more elasticity in my skin. This is as natural and as organic as it can get, hand made not tested on animals and a NZ product and contains no preservatives, so that explains why it's pricey, but it's very nice and really makes my skin feel great. One of the best body oils I have used.

I recently attended a Linden Leaves evening and was lucky enough to make one of these oils. I loved hearing the story behind the company and knowing that all the products are not tested on animals and contains no nasties. Also how amazing that these oils are all hand made with the freeze dried flowers!

The smell is amazing, a little goes a long way and it is easily absorbed to leave your skin feeling amazing
