5 Best Natural Oils for Dry & Sensitive Skin
Share
When your skin feels tight, flaky, or easily irritated, it’s not just asking for moisture, it’s begging for nourishment. The truth is, not all oils are created equal. Some sit on top of the skin, feeling greasy, while others penetrate deep to hydrate, protect, and soothe the skin.
At Sunshyne Naturals™, we've handpicked the highest quality plant-based oils to craft products that work with your skin, not against it. If you’ve been searching for the perfect natural oils to keep dry and sensitive skin happy, here are our top five favorites. The same ones we use in our vegan, cruelty-free skincare, so you can unleash your inner sunshine every single day.
1. Nilotica Shea Butter (Technically a butter, but too good to leave out!)
Why We Love It: This rare East African shea butter is creamier and softer than traditional shea, melting instantly into the skin. It’s packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins that replenish moisture without clogging pores.
Where You’ll Find It at Sunshyne Naturals™: In our whipped body butters for deep, all-day hydration.
2. Hemp Seed Oil
Why We Love It: Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, hemp seed oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. It calms inflammation, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps lock in hydration, all without a greasy residue.
Where You’ll Find It: In our body butters and body oils, helping soothe sensitive skin while leaving it silky soft.
3. Raspberry Seed Oil
Why We Love It: Known as a gentle skin protector, raspberry seed oil is high in antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols. It helps shield skin from environmental stress and supports natural healing, a win for sensitive complexions.
Where You’ll Find It: In our Daily Nourishing Bath & Body Oil, for a boost of protective moisture.
4. Jojoba Oil
Why We Love It: Jojoba oil is almost identical to your skin’s natural sebum, which means it absorbs quickly and balances oil production. It’s a go-to for calming irritation and adding a healthy, natural glow.
Where You’ll Find It: In our Angel Glo Facial Oil for lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration.
5. Apricot Kernel Oil
Why We Love It: Gentle, vitamin-rich, and perfect for delicate skin, apricot kernel oil softens and smooths without heaviness. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for sensitive or mature skin types.
Where You’ll Find It: In both our facial and body oils, giving your skin that silky, touchable feel.
Final Thoughts
