Review: Indulge Yourself with Weleda's Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil

I've never been a body oil lover, I think it's because I was always afraid of it not soaking in and staining my clothes. When I won a gift basket, from a local health food store, I was so excited to see that there were some samples of the Weleda Pomegranate Body Oil. It was actually Ana, from Ana Goes Green, who convinced me to want to try this oil because of how much she's raved about it. Guys, it lives up to the hype!

Description: Aging and tired skin is revitalized by this renewing body oil. It’s a nourishing full-body treatment that regulates moisture balance and restores your natural vitality with potent antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Organic pomegranate seed oil contains powerful antioxidants that help promote skin renewal and protect against free radical damage. Organic jojoba seed oil preserves your natural moisture and acts as an emollient, nurturing your skin and improving its firmness.

I love this oil so, so, so much. The scent is sweet, but very light. If you're sensitive to scents, don't worry, this doesn't linger and it's not overwhelming by any means. I love the tinted glass bottle because it's reusable and the tint preserves the oil better but, of course, it's a little heavy to travel with. The dispenser isn't quite a dropper, it's easy to pour too much but easier to pour less than if it wasn't there. Did that even make sense? I hope so because I have no idea how to explain it. As you can see from the pictures below, this oil has a very light yellowish/orange colour and absorbs beautifully into the skin. Doesn't leave me greasy at all, just soft and well nourished the entire day. I still have dry patches (elbows, knees, etc) which I have to use a body balm on. In terms of it improving the firmness of my skin, I'm not sure. I haven't noticed a difference and Lord knows I could use some...or lots of...firming. Is this the world's best body oil? Maybe, I haven't tried many. Is it an oil worth indulging yourself in? Hell yes! I have already purchased a backup for myself and I'm not even half way through my first bottle.

Retails for approx. $30 CAN for 100ml. Can be purchased at most health food stores and through Weleda. I bought mine on sale at Whole Foods for $17.99 CAN (both of them).

Have you tried any of the Weleda Body Oils?

  1. Oooh, glad you got this review up. I reallllly want to try it. I can't help kind of having a collectors mentality, I want to try all of the Weleda oils because I tried the hair oil and really like it.

  2. I got the Essential Kit with all of their oils and love them all! I usually mix them with other moisturizers. They are lovely. I read a review one time that said that Weleda's products are generally addictive. That is true! xx

    1. I've honestly never thought about trying the sample kit even though I always tell my friends to. I like the idea of mixing them with a moisturizer, thanks for that. It's true, they are sooooo addictive! xo

  5. So glad you love it and thank you for the mention, I find it does help with firming the skin, but like any oil you really have to be diligent with application and you won't see results immediately. x

  7. Hair oil what?! I'll have to check that out.
    I tried Weleda pomegranate firming night cream and love the results! I don't know if it's really firming my skin, but it certainly feels great going on, smells nice, gives my skin a nice glow and doesn't cause my sensitive skin to breakout. It's pricey but I think in this case, it's worth it.
