Tissue oil has become one of the most-loved and most-used skincare oils across Southern Africa. But what exactly makes tissue oil different from a normal body oil? And why do so many small beauty brands choose our bulk tissue oil to rebrand and sell under their own labels?
In this article, we break down what tissue oil really is, what makes it special, and why our locally crafted formula stands out in the market.
What Is Tissue Oil?
Tissue oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing body oil designed to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin, without leaving the heavy, greasy feel typical of traditional oils. The secret lies in its carefully balanced blend of carrier oils, antioxidants, and hero actives that work together to improve skin hydration, support elasticity, and enhance overall skin appearance.
Unlike thick body oils, tissue oil is formulated to be:
- Non-greasy
- Quick-absorbing
- Deeply nourishing
- Suitable for daily use
This unique texture is what makes tissue oil so versatile and popular among consumers, salons, and small beauty brands looking for a premium yet accessible skincare product.
What Makes Our Tissue Oil Unique?
Although every brand formulates their tissue oil differently, our formulation has been intentionally created to give small businesses a high-quality, natural-leaning base that they can confidently rebrand.
Here’s what sets ours apart:
1. Hero Ingredient: Vitamin E
Vitamin E is one of the most important ingredients in any true tissue oil. Known for its antioxidant powers, Vitamin E:
- Supports skin repair
- Helps improve texture
- Reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks
- Protects the skin barrier
- Enhances moisture retention
It is a must-have in any authentic tissue oil formula, and ours includes a premium-grade, skin-friendly form for maximum results.
2. Locally Sourced Lesotho Rosehip Oil – Pure & Natural
One of the most defining ingredients in our tissue oil is our Lesotho-harvested rosehip oil. This wild-grown rosehip is collected from the mountain regions of Lesotho, where the climate naturally encourages high-potency fruit rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.
Rosehip oil is known for:
- Boosting collagen production
- Improving skin tone and pigmentation
- Minimising fine lines
- Soothing dry or damaged skin
- Enhancing the skin’s natural glow
We use no artificial colourants in our formula. The beautiful golden colour you see comes directly from the natural pigments in our Lesotho rosehip oil, not synthetic dyes.
This is something your customers will appreciate and recognise as a hallmark of quality.
3. A Non-Oily, Fast-Absorbing Base
Tissue oil is loved for its light texture, and our formulation has been perfected to achieve that:
- No heavy residue
- No greasy after-feel
- No stickiness
- Quick absorption into the skin
- Smooth, satin finish
This makes it ideal for daily use, even in hot climates, and suitable for all skin types.
4. No Artificial Colourants or Unnecessary Additives
Consumers today want clean, simple formulations they can trust.
Our tissue oil contains:
- No artificial colourants
- No unnecessary fillers
- No synthetic dyes
- No preservatives
The natural colour and aroma come from the oils themselves, ensuring a clean and honest product that aligns with modern skincare values.
5. Made for Small Businesses Who Rebrand Bulk Products
One of the most unique aspects of our tissue oil is that we supply it in bulk, specifically for:
- Small beauty brands

- Retailers wanting to add a high-value oil to their range
Our tissue oil is:

Why Tissue Oil Is a Profitable Product for Small Brands
Tissue oil is one of the highest-margin personal care products for small businesses because:
- It has a strong and consistent consumer demand
- It works well in both online and physical retail
- It appeals to multiple markets (beauty, skincare, wellness, salons)
