Frequently asked.

Three things. Every oil is built on a six-ingredient formula with no silicones, synthetic emollients, or mineral oil. Each formula is engineered for a specific skin type (Bare Ritual for oily, Golden Veil for normal, Midnight Pour for dry) rather than one universal blend. And the pricing: $19.99 for 8 fl oz runs roughly one-quarter the price per ounce of comparable luxury body oils.

Hand-blended in small batches in Chicago, Illinois.

Yes to both. Every ingredient is plant-derived. No animal testing at any point in the supply chain, including by ingredient suppliers. Fragrance components are synthetic or plant-derived only.

Preservatives exist to stop microbial growth in water-containing formulas. Burnish & Bloom oils are anhydrous (water-free), so microbial growth has no medium to occur in. Vitamin E is included as a natural antioxidant to prevent oxidative rancidity of the oils themselves.

Match the oil to your skin type. Oily or combination skin: Bare Ritual. Normal skin: Golden Veil. Dry or sensitive: Midnight Pour. The Find Your Oil page has a side-by-side comparison.

Not these. All three formulas avoid known comedogenic ingredients (no coconut oil, no cocoa butter). Bare Ritual is non-comedogenic on the standard 0–5 comedogenicity scale across all listed ingredients.

Midnight Pour is the formula built specifically for dry and sensitive skin. If you have known sensitivities to fragrance components or essential oils, patch test on the inner forearm 24 hours before full application.

These are formulated for the body, not the face. Facial skin has different sebum dynamics and the fragrance load may be too high for facial use. We recommend reserving these for neck-down application.

Pour a small amount into your palms. Press your hands together for a beat to warm the blend. Apply with long sweeping strokes from neck to ankle. Press, don't rub. The Ritual page has the full three-step method.

Bare Ritual absorbs in under 60 seconds. Golden Veil takes about 90 seconds. Midnight Pour, the richest formula, takes 2 to 4 minutes.

With daily use of a small pour over the full body, the 8 fl oz bottle lasts approximately three to four months. The 4 fl oz size is intended as a travel companion or a try-before-committing format.

Room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Bathroom shelf or vanity tray is fine. Avoid leaving in a hot car or near a sunny window. Unopened shelf life is 12 to 24 months depending on the formula; once opened, use within 9 to 18 months.
