What is the Baume Ultime Body Oil?
Baume Ultime Body Oil is Retrouvé’s antioxidant-rich, decadently textured body oil designed to deliver deep hydration while visibly improving skin's texture and radiance. Formulated like a vitamin bath for the skin, it features a concentrated blend of nourishing ingredients: including Avocado Oil, Ceramides, and Vitamins E and C, to restore softness, support the skin barrier, and enhance skin suppleness.
This rich yet fast-absorbing oil targets dryness, dullness, and the visible signs of aging. Perfect for most skin types, it transforms the daily ritual of moisturizing into an indulgent skincare experience.
