Description
A vacation ritual that feels like golden hour, bottled.
Inspired by Amalfi sunsets at 7pm, sun-warmed skin, and the kind of trips you never want to end, this skincare-first shimmering body oil sinks in with a non-greasy finish, nourishing and helping support the skin’s moisture barrier for that just-got-back-from-somewhere glow.
Formulated with seven botanical oils that mimic the skin’s natural lipids, including Avocado, Pumpkin seed, Safflower, and Sunflower seed Oils, this antioxidant-rich blend helps lock in hydration, soften skin texture, and support skin resilience.
Vitamins C + E brighten and protect against environmental stressors, while Rice Bran and Rosemary Leaf Extracts offer soothing support for sensitive skin.
Perfect for a night out or wandering the sun-soaked streets, it’s the golden-hour glow we were glad to share on CTV’s The Social.
How to use
Dispense 2–3 pumps into hands or onto a brush. Apply to clean, slightly damp skin on legs, arms, décolleté—or anywhere you want to glow. Let absorb before dressing.
Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

frequently asked questions
Is this body shimmer oil suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Gilded Sands was formulated as a gentle, barrier-enhancing body oil suitable for sensitive skin. We avoided heavy synthetic fragrances and instead focused on soothing botanicals like Rice Bran Extract and Rosemary Extract. These help calm the look of redness and support the skin’s moisture barrier while you glow.
What does the body oil smell like?
Gilded Sands features a fresh, uplifting scent derived entirely from Sicilian Blood Orange. Because it is naturally scented and free from synthetic fragrances, it offers a crisp, authentic citrus aroma that evokes a Mediterranean summer. It is subtle and elegant, designed to linger gently without overpowering your favourite perfume.
Will this oil leave a greasy residue on my skin or clothes?
Not at all. We designed this to be a non-greasy body glow oil that absorbs quickly. By using Safflower Seed Oil, one of our seven botanical oils which mimics the skin's natural lipids, you get a "dry oil" finish that leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated, not sticky.
Is this product hydrating enough for very dry skin?
Absolutely. It serves as a deeply hydrating body oil for dry skin thanks to nutrient-dense ingredients like Pumpkin Seed Oil and Avocado Seed Oil. It is designed to lock in moisture and soften rough texture, making it a functional skincare treatment that happens to shimmer.
Is this a dry oil?
No. This a medium-bodied oil with a blend of different botanical oils. This is formulated to feel luxurious and sensorial without it being heavy and greasy.
What specific ingredients give this oil its glow and benefits?
Our formula delivers a unique dual layer radiance. First, a nutrient-dense base of seven botanical oils (including Safflower and Avocado) deeply hydrates and smooths the skin’s surface. Second, we use ethically sourced natural mica to reflect light, creating a sophisticated, multi-dimensional shimmer that looks like healthy, sun-warmed skin rather than glitter.
Is the bottle TSA-friendly for travel?
Yes! We know travelers need compact beauty solutions. Gilded Sands comes in a 100mL (3.4 fl. oz) bottle, making it a fully TSA-friendly body oil. It’s the perfect size to keep your skin glowing and happy on flights and vacations.
Is this a self tanner or self bronzer?
No. This is strictly a body oil meant to deliver nourishing hydration and a golden-hour glow. There are no tanning agents. However, this is an oil which can stimulate your skin to produce melanin quicker. We always recommend applying SPF on top of the oil.
What is vegan skincare?
Vegan skincare contains no animal or animal-derived ingredients.
What is clean skincare?
Clean is often defined as products that are safe, non-toxic, transparent ingredient labeling and often formulated with ingredients that are not harmful to the user. However, in recent years, clean has often been commercialized and defined with many variations amongst different brands and skincare retailers.
