Most body oils leave me in a grease slick for hours. This one turned into velvet on contact — like my skin drank it and said *thanks*.
The difference? It actually absorbs. In like, 10 seconds flat. I could pull on jeans immediately without leaving a crime scene on the denim.
Plum calls this a “plumping” body oil. ₹595 for 200ml — not cheap for a drugstore brand, but not insane either. The claim that got me: “non-greasy hydration.” I was deeply skeptical.
The pump
Actually works. No dribble, no clog. One pump per leg.
Scent
Smells like warm vanilla cake. Not synthetic — more like you’ve been baking.
Finish
Zero tackiness. My boyfriend touched my arm and asked if I was wearing anything.

The oil blend is surprisingly lean. No filler silicones — just oils that actually do something. The texture feels light because the fatty acid profile is on point.
- Plum Oil: antioxidant-rich, sinks in fast — not sticky
- Jojoba Oil: mimics skin’s sebum, so it actually hydrates
- Vitamin E: calming, keeps oil from going rancid quickly
- Grape Seed Oil: lightweight, absorbs in seconds — the MVP here

First pump: it pours like thin honey. You rub it in and — poof. Gone. My skin felt like memory foam. Not slippery, not coated. Just… plump.
Week three: I used it on my cuticles by accident. They stopped peeling. That’s not the marketing claim, but it’s true.

My legs looked less dusty. The “plumping” thing? Real — my skin felt firmer for about 6 hours. Not a miracle worker, but visibly better than my usual coconut oil disaster.

This is the only body oil I’ve finished a bottle of without cheating. It does what it says — no slick, no fuss, just soft skin.
