5 Best Beauty Oils You Should Be Using

Beauty oils have been used since ancient times to help bring forth radiance and make skin glow. Although you might be tempted to think beauty oils are only for people with dry skin, you should know all skin types can benefit from a high-quality oil—as long as you pick the right one.

RMS Beauty uses plant-based oils in our formulas. Living plant botanicals help keep skin hydrated and healthy naturally.

If you’re having trouble finding the perfect beauty oil for your skin, we’ve got five you should consider using right now.

What is a Beauty Oil?

Beauty oils are similar to serums: highly potent, concentrated blends of nourishing ingredients designed to hydrate, soothe, and restore radiance.

Oils hydrate your skin two ways:

• Emollients soften and condition the skin. Plant-based oils like jojoba and castor oil improve texture and elasticity.
  
  

• Humectants help seal in moisture, forming a protective barrier that locks in hydration for longer-lasting glow.
  
  

All skin types—yes, even oily or acne-prone—can benefit from the right oil.

What Should I Look for in a Beauty Oil?

When shopping for a beauty oil, don’t just grab the prettiest bottle on the shelf. Look for:

1. High-Quality Ingredients
   Avoid synthetic fillers and mineral oils. Choose organic, cold-pressed, food-grade botanicals—like those found in RMS formulas.
   
   

2. Proven Skin Benefits
   Ingredients like Kakadu Plum, tamanu, and buriti oil are backed by research and results.
   
   

3. Reliable Performance
   Not all oils work for every skin type. Choose a brand with a reputation for clean, effective formulations that deliver.
   
   

What Are the 5 Best Beauty Oils I Should Be Using?

We’ve done the homework for you. Here are five of the best beauty oils worth adding to your skincare routine:

1. Kakadu Beauty Oil (New!)

Reformulated and reinvigorated, the beloved RMS Beauty Oil is back—better than ever. The new Kakadu Beauty Oil is a luxurious, light-but-super-concentrated blend designed to:

• Balance skin
  
  

• Improve texture
  
  

• Prep for makeup
  
  

• Deliver rich, radiant hydration
  
  

At the heart of the formula is Kakadu Plum Seed Oil—one of the most natural and stable sources of Vitamin C. This superfruit helps plump, brighten, and visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles while offering antioxidant protection.

Also inside:

• Wildcrafted Buriti Oil – Rich in beta-carotene and vitamin E, it nourishes deeply and improves skin elasticity.
  
  

• Organic RMS Adaptogenic Herbal Blend – A proprietary infusion in jojoba oil that calms, hydrates, and protects the skin barrier.
  
  

This oil is Kind to Biome® Certified, meaning it is clinically tested to be:

• Skin microbiome-friendly and gentle
  
  

• Non-disruptive to skin flora
  
  

• Supportive of a healthy skin barrier
  
  

How to use:
Apply 2–3 drops to clean, damp skin. Gently massage into the face, neck, and chest. Use it at night for repair or in the morning to prep skin for makeup.

Rose-Marie's Tip:
“Mix a couple of drops with UnCoverup Concealer for an all-over tinted moisturizer effect.”

Pro Insight:

“As a makeup artist, I think about skincare first and foremost, because that’s where the glow begins. This beauty oil is the best thing I’ve ever used to prep skin before applying makeup. The luxurious oils and my special blend of adaptogenic herbs come together and really get the skin into its happy place.” — Rose-Marie Swift

2. Tamanu Oil

Tamanu oil promotes collagen production, helps reduce the appearance of blemishes and fine lines, and calms irritation with B and E vitamins.

3. Coconut Oil

A multitasking favorite that hydrates, removes makeup, soothes sunburn, and brightens dark circles thanks to its antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

4. Jojoba Oil

This humectant mimics your skin’s natural sebum, making it an ideal moisturizer for all skin types. Non-comedogenic and soothing—even for acne-prone skin.

5. Buriti Oil

Packed with antioxidants and vitamin A, Buriti oil protects against photoaging, boosts collagen, and hydrates without clogging pores.

What is the Best Way to Use Beauty Oils?

Use beauty oils as a final step in your skincare routine to lock in moisture—or mix a drop with your foundation or concealer for a natural glow. The Kakadu Beauty Oil also doubles as a smoothing primer under makeup.

How Often Should I Use Beauty Oils?

Gentle, plant-based oils like the Kakadu Beauty Oil are safe for daily use—morning and night. Consistent application helps maintain long-term skin health, hydration, and glow.

Conclusion

Beauty oils are a powerful addition to every skincare routine. The reformulated Kakadu Beauty Oil leads the way—balancing skin, prepping it for makeup, and delivering next-level hydration with skin microbiome support. Whether your skin is dry, oily, or somewhere in between, there's a beauty oil on this list that will leave you glowing.
