Expert Reviews

Candice Needham

The oil felt lovely and instantly moisturising on my skin. It has a very nice, light feel and fast absorbing texture. I am also most impressed by La Mav’s environmental efforts which go in various directions, I appreciate them being diverse in this way to try and reduce their impact in all ways possible.

The Ayurvedic Body Oil – Nourish is just that – nourishing! Applying this oil after a shower will make you feel like you’re in a spa, which I love! The scent is calming, warm and absorbs into the skin beautifully. It’s easy to use thanks to a pump head and arrived in a gorgeous paper tube, adding to the lux experience. This would be a beautiful gift for someone you love or yourself. I’m always impressed and inspired when I see women-owned brands. LaMav does a great job at balancing sustainability and luxury with this oil while using organic products.

This incredible, golden coloured Ayurvedic inspired body oil deeply nourishes your skin. I love that the oil is designed to be applied through Abhyanga massage or added to a warm bath – both of which represent beautiful self-care rituals. I am particularly impressed that the product is traditionally imbued with healing herbs such as Ashwagandha and it smells absolutely divine! This Australian, female-owned brand is exceptional in all that they do, demonstrating what amazing achievements can be accomplished by a motivated woman with a kind heart.
