Best body oil: what 750 Ulta reviews agree on

We read 750 Ulta reviews of three popular body oil picks to see which one reviewers say moisturizes best, which smells best and which feels greasy: OSEA's Undaria Algae oil, Saltair's Nourishing oil and DIME's Glaze Hydrating oil. OSEA's is seaweed-infused, Saltair's comes in several scents, and DIME sells Glaze as a dry oil. [R-ULT-OS] [R-ULT-SA] [R-ULT-DI] [A1] [A2] [A3]

Greasiness is rare in these reviews: 3% to 5% of each product's reviewers called it greasy or slow to absorb. The differences are moisture, scent and price. DIME leads on moisture (53%), Saltair on scent (73%), and OSEA on repeat buying (26%). [R-ULT-OS] [R-ULT-SA] [R-ULT-DI]

How we read 750 reviews at Ulta

We read the newest reviews on each Ulta product page: 260 for OSEA and 250 for DIME. Saltair's page served 240 reviews once we removed repeats (2 more repeats were set aside later), all from July 2025 on, and it pools every scent on one page. We removed repeated reviews that came back as the pages loaded. [R-ULT-OS] [R-ULT-SA] [R-ULT-DI]

Another 24 were set aside: 11 about shipping or a bottle that leaked on arrival, 5 about another product or a set, 3 repeats, 3 with no real text, 1 that said the oil was free and 1 bought as a gift and never used. That leaves 726 usable reviews: 254 for OSEA, 228 for Saltair and 244 for DIME. [R-ULT-OS] [R-ULT-SA] [R-ULT-DI]

One caution: DIME's reviews lean on 2024 (127 of 244), while Saltair's are all from July 2025 on. Price complaints here count reviewers who called the price or a small bottle a real drawback, not those who said it was pricey but worth it. [R-ULT-OS] [R-ULT-SA] [R-ULT-DI]

Saltair: the scent pick, from vanilla body oil to island florals
