Review: The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Miracle Solid Oil

Argan Oil is all in the rage these days and I was really intrigued when The Body Shop released their Wild Argan Oil collection a few months ago. To the regular line of body lotion, body butter and shower gel, The Body Shop has added a number of new products and one of them is the Miracle Solid Oil.

I have to say, this is probably my best beauty find of the year. As the name suggests, the oil is in a solid form. You can pick up the product by rubbing your fingers on the surface. I don't usually like products that you have to dip your fingers into but there is no other way of packaging this product. Lint will get caught on the surface but I love this product too much to care about that.

It is a fairly thick oil so it will definitely linger on the skin. It doesn't fully absorb into the skin so this is definitely more suitable for application on selected areas instead of all over your body. This solid oil does melt a little in the heat and you may find that the surface of the oil will liquify slightly if you've been out in the heat for awhile. It settles back into a solid form fairly quickly once you enter an air-conditioned area and the consistency will remain the same. I didn't like the scent of the product in the beginning but it has since grown on me. The scent is not for everyone and it actually lingers so do give it a sniff before committing.

The solid oil comes in a tin that is perfect for the purse. This product is so, so versatile and it has become a staple in my makeup bag. As you all probably already know by now, I suffer from eczema and I always have to carry some kind of body lotion with me to soothe my eczema patches whenever they become dry and itchy. This product is truly amazing for my skin. It is fairly thick in consistency and it provides such great relief for my dry skin. It moisturizes really well and it also acts as a layer of protectant against the elements which can be detrimental of eczema. I used this throughout the two weeks I was in Beijing this fall and my eczema did not flare up at all.

I also use this on my hair to tame frizz or smooth down any flyaways but you do have to be careful not to apply too much as it can be rather heavy. It will work on a pinch but if you have very fine hair, this product will likely be too heavy for you. The Miracle Solid Oil is also a life saviour when I'm wearing new shoes. As you may know, applying some lotion to your feet can help to prevent blisters and this oil does a much better job than any body lotion. It is rich and thick and it lasts much, much longer.

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Miracle Solid Oil has been such a game changer for me and I'm so glad I picked it up. It's convenient and effective and I will definitely repurchase this! Do you have a favorite multi-purpose product? Share them with me below!
