Kahina Fez Body Serum

Nourishing but non-greasy body oil with an earthy, warm scent / 6.7 oz full size

Kahina’s Fez Body Serum is one of things that we never knew we needed until we tried it — then promptly decided that it was an absolutely critical part of our daily routine. The antioxidant-rich formula is extraordinarily moisturizing, but it doesn’t feel heavy.

The key to its perfect balance of hydration-without-weight is its blend of oils. As creator Katharine L’Heureux told us, “I love plain argan oil as a body oil, but often find it actually absorbs too easily. So we blended it with watermelon seed oil from West Africa, olive oil, sunflower seed oil and jojoba oil to get just the right consistency to make it feel super nourishing yet absorbent.”

And the real bonus is that it leaves the perfect whiff of scent behind. The subtle type of whiff that prompts people to exclaim, “You smell heavenly!” rather than “What are you wearing?” Fez features a beautifully earthy blend of essential oils: you’ll first smell beguiling rose and orange blossom, then take a tour through antiquity with patchouli, vetiver, and ylang-ylang. Finally, sprinkles of cumin and clove from the spice market leave behind an exotic warmth.
