Lerbolario Almond Massage Oil & Loccitane Supple Skin Oil

bird's eye view for a shopper

Just a review on shopping for massage oils, particularly ones made with almond on a bird's eye viewpoint and not a after use how many months view. The new beauty care brand Lerbolario (Italy) is now in Bangsar Shopping Centre. Should be a hit soon with those who loves Loccitane & Crabtree & Evelyn. I was over the other day at their opening and bought this Almond Massage Oil 100ml RM79. This is a small comparison between the two brands I now love:

Lerbolario Almond Massage Oil

Size = 125ml

Price = rm79

Packaging = glass bottle with plastic cap

Scent: not strong

Color: yellow oil

Ingredients:

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Sweet Almond), Tocopherol, Lecithin, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Parfum - Citric Acid.

Loccitane Supple Skin Oil

Size = 100ml

Price = rm173/rm189 (bought mine from singapore coz msia sold out)

Packaging: glass bottle with metal pump head

Scent: strong and sweet

Color: light faint yellow oil

Ingredients:

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Sweet Almond), Capric/Caprylic Triglycerides, Squalene, Perfume (Fragrance), Oenothera Biennis Oil (Evening Primrose), Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Limonene, Cymbopogon Martini Oil, Helichrysum Italicum Extract, Geraniol, Mentha Piperita Oil (Peppermint), Coumarin, Linalool, Citral, Citronellol

Both can be used for massage or to improve skin (stretch marks, soften skin, firming, soothing, moisturize, etc). The scent is also therapeutic and when use in massage leaves your skin soft, supple and glowy. Though there's no samples for this almond massage oil, do try it at Lerbolario boutique at BSC and request for other samples of your choice. Unlike Loccitane, Lerbolario is more generous in that sense.
