Why Natural Oils Change in Winter — And Why That’s a Good Thing

When temperatures drop, nature responds. Plants slow down, water freezes, and oils behave differently. If you use natural skincare — especially oil-based products — you may notice changes during colder months. Your product may look cloudy, contain small “bits,” or feel firmer than usual.

With our Best Skin Ever blends, this is completely normal. In fact, it’s a sign that your product is doing exactly what it should.

Pure oils behave like oils — not like chemicals

Best Skin Ever is made with pure, unprocessed plant oils. We do not use synthetic stabilisers, emulsifiers, or preservatives. That means the oils in the bottle are free to behave as they naturally do.

One of the key ingredients in Best Skin Ever is coconut oil. Coconut oil is solid at cooler temperatures and becomes liquid only when warmed. You might even recognise this from your own kitchen — a jar of coconut oil can be soft and spreadable one day, and completely solid the next.

Other oils, such as tamanu, can show similar behaviour.

Why do you sometimes see “bits” in your Best Skin Ever?

Those small floating pieces or cloudy areas you may notice are simply coconut oil that has firmed up due to cold temperatures. This can happen:

  • during air transport (cargo holds are cold),

  • in warehouses where products are stored cool and dark,

  • during winter shipping,

  • or when a bottle is kept in the fridge at home.

None of this affects the quality, effectiveness, or shelf life of the product.


A simple solution: gentle warmth

Fortunately, restoring your Best Skin Ever to its smooth, liquid state is very easy.

Place the bottle in a bowl of hand-warm (lukewarm) water for a few minutes. The oils will gently melt and blend together again. Give the bottle a good shake, and it’s ready to use.

Also pay attention to the pump. If the product has been cold, some oil may have solidified inside the pump mechanism. Simply place the pump in warm water as well, dry it thoroughly, and it will work perfectly again.

A little extra care — but a very reassuring reason.

Why this is actually a good sign

The fact that Best Skin Ever reacts to temperature changes means one very important thing:
nothing is added to force the formula to behave unnaturally.

No synthetic stabilisers.
No preservatives.
No shortcuts.

What you see is living, botanical skincare responding to its environment — just like skin itself does.

How to use Best Skin Ever for face cleansing

Washing your face with pure plant oils is an ancient Ayurvedic method that gently cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin without stripping it.

How to use:

  1. Wet a small portion of a cloth with water.

  2. Apply one or two squirts of Best Skin Ever to the damp cloth.

  3. Gently massage the face, neck and back of the neck.

  4. Rinsing is optional — many people simply wipe and go.

For deeper exfoliation, massage more vigorously. For sensitive skin, keep movements soft and slow.

If your skin needs extra moisture, you can add another squirt directly to your fingertips and massage into the skin. Best Skin Ever also blends beautifully with facial serums and crèmes.

Using Best Skin Ever on the body

Best Skin Ever is not just for the face — it’s a beautiful full-body product.

After bathing or showering:

  1. Leave the skin wet.

  2. Wet a washcloth and squeeze it out.

  3. Apply a few squirts of Best Skin Ever to the cloth.

  4. Massage the body from head to toe.

The combination of water, oil and gentle friction leaves the skin clean, soft and deeply nourished.

In harmony with the seasons

Winter invites us to slow down, to warm things gently, and to work with nature rather than against it. When your skincare reflects the season — rather than fighting it — something shifts.

So if your Best Skin Ever looks a little different in winter, know that nothing is wrong. Quite the opposite.

It’s simply nature, doing what it does best.
