I started developing my shimmer oil formula in early 2024 because nothing I tried met the standard I was looking for. I wanted suspended shimmer that didn’t settle to the bottom, a texture that felt like silk instead of grease, and a scent that was actually composed with intention.
This formula holds shimmer in perfect suspension using a specialized base that I have agonized over for several years. The texture is weightless and absorbs cleanly, without leaving skin sticky or heavy. It’s preserved for longevity with a broad-spectrum system, and the shimmer is made from biodegradable glitter and ethically sourced mica. I’ve always loved glitter and wear it in many forms. It’s theatrical. It’s ritual. It’s true glamour magic. But for me, the materials matter as much as the effect. It has to move with the body, catch light without streaking, and feel like part of the skin.
The scent is built like a fine fragrance. No premixed bases. No generic “pink sugar” notes. Each oil is composed from raw perfumer’s materials, just at a lighter concentration.
I made this because I couldn’t find it anywhere in the indie space. Now it exists and I cannot wait to share it with you.
I will have two shimmering oils launching this Friday at 8pm EST. The oils are:
Aphrodite’s Gold: A decadent and sensual blend of high elevation lavender, rose absolute, patchouli, and sandalwood bedecked with royal gold shimmer.
Strawberry Amethyst: A more lightly fragranced strawberry body oil with sparkling amethyst shimmer.
These two oils will be integrated into the existing summer collection and will be available while they last!
