Khloé’s oil went viral for a reason — it makes your legs look like they got airbrushed by a filter that doesn’t exist yet. I slapped it on before a wedding and my friend literally asked if I got spray tanned.
The thing is, the hype machine is loud. But this oil? It actually does something. The shimmer isn’t glittery or cheap — it’s more like a satin finish that catches light without screaming “I’m wearing body makeup.”
Good American sells this at $42 for 4oz. The claim: a “second-skin glow” that hydrates and shines without being greasy. I bought it because I’m weak for celebrity launches and wanted to see if it beat my $12 drugstore fave.
The Pump
Dispenses a perfect amount — no messy drips or clogged nozzles. Weirdly satisfying.
The Scent
Light, warm, almost like a fancy sunscreen. Not overpowering, but it lingers for an hour.
The Finish
Dries down in about 90 seconds. No sticky residue on your sheets or clothes.

It’s mostly squalane and jojoba oil — nothing revolutionary, but the blend is lighter than most body oils I’ve tried. The shimmer comes from mica, which sounds scary but looks natural on skin.
- Squalane: Locks in moisture without suffocating skin
- Jojoba Oil: Mimics your skin’s natural sebum — absorbs fast
- Mica: Gives that lit-from-within glow, not glitter
- Vitamin E: Calms redness and fights free radicals

It pours like honey but rubs in like a dry oil — slick at first, then disappears into skin within a minute. The glow stays for hours, but it’s not greasy enough to ruin your clothes.
Two weeks in, I noticed my shins (the driest part of my body) stopped flaking. But the glow? It fades by midday unless you reapply. The drugstore dupe gave me the same shine for 30 bucks less — just with a cheaper scent.

My legs looked legitimately better for the first 4 hours. The hydration lasted all day. But the glow didn’t survive a full workday — I had to reapply for evening events.

It’s a beautiful product that delivers exactly what it promises — but the price is for the brand name. If you want the glow without the splurge, the drugstore version gets you 80% there.
