THE ORIGINAL Bitter Oil body oil
Why is it called Bitter Oil & what is it?
THE ORIGINAL Bitter Oil body oil is the very best infused & unscented body oil available. It’s a blend of exotic body oils and “Bitter” refers to the bitter root extract powders the body oil blend is infused (macerated) with.
How do I know Bitter Oil is the best unscented body oil
It’s the best body oil because I made it for myself and when it comes to self-care, I am a very selfish person and nothing but the best goes onto my body. I’m also somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to anything and I wanted to be able to apply the same herbs that had helped me so much internally, topically as a body oil. So I created the perfect body oil blend, not too greasy yet giving your skin that healthy glow.
But only blending oils together just doesn’t do it for me when I know that oil is a vehicle and now that I have the vehicle, let’s look for some passengers. Found ’em and packed the best body oil blend you can find with my 12 favorite plant extract powders and infused it with them for 45 days. It’s the only way to really max out the extraction process of the active compounds and fully gain access to their respective therapeutical properties.
What are the ingredients?
The Bitter Oil is a blend of Coconut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil, each chosen for its unique properties and benefits. This exotic unscented body oil blend is then infused with all herbs contained in the Bitter Pill, which contains only the highest grade of plant extracts.

Its emollient nature helps to moisturize and protect the skin barrier, making it an effective ingredient in skincare products.

The only truly Infused Body Oil
Just because a body oil claims to be infused doesn’t mean it is. Infused body oils are considered “potent” if the infusion rate is of a minimum of 10%. Bitter Oil unscented body oil has an infusion rate of 10%+.
What is "infusion-rate" mean?
Infusion rate pertains to the oil vs material ratio. Anybody can infuse body oils but as mentioned, unless the maceration (infusion) takes place at 10%, body oils cannot be classified as potent. If you have an infused oil, look at the label and see if you can spot the infusion rate and most likely you will not find mention of it, because most oils are infused at below 2%. I mean think about it, you can take a few grains of Maca powder add it to some oil, and claim it’s Maca-infused oil. Well, in a way it is, but then it really is not. Bitter Oil is the only body oil infused at 10%+, and therefore truly potent.
The Science of Maceration (Infusion)
During maceration, the plant extracts are submerged in the carrier oil blend, allowing their beneficial compounds to infuse gradually over time. As the oils sit in a dark, cool space for 45 days, the plant materials release their active constituents into the carrier oils, resulting in a potent infusion rich in therapeutic compounds. This slow extraction process ensures that BITTERADE’s Bitter Oil captures the full spectrum of benefits offered by each herb, delivering a potent elixir that nourishes the skin from within.

What is Bitter Oil unscented body oil good for?
I originally created Bitter Oil for my Royal Highness, aka private part area. And as my slogan says “If it’s good for your Royal Highness, it’s good for the rest of the body”. Makes sense doesn’t it? If it’s good for your most sensitive areas, it’s good for all parts of your body.
Doing my own research on infused body oils, I have learned that an unscented body oil comes with lots of therapeutic, antimicrobial, and health-beneficial properties.
The soothing and moisturizing properties of coconut oil, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil provide gentle nourishment to delicate skin, making it an ideal natural aftershave, especially in your most sensitive genital area. Unlike store-shelf aftershaves, which often contain harsh chemicals and alcohol that can irritate the skin, BITTERADE’s Bitter Oil offers a natural alternative that calms inflammation, prevents razor burn, and promotes rapid healing through its antimicrobial properties because it is an unscented body oil. Additionally, the aphrodisiac herbs infused in this elixir, such as horny goat weed and tongkat ali, enhance blood circulation and libido, making it particularly beneficial for intimate encounters. Whether used as a natural aftershave, moisturizer, or massage oil, BITTERADE’s Bitter Oil brings unparalleled comfort and rejuvenation to sensitive areas, elevating the skincare experience to new heights.
