Bronzers add color and sparkle to our cheekbones, but like many cosmetic products, they wallow in things like aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, which are usually nature-based ingredients, but they can be harsh on some complexions.

For alternatives, 100% oils can make skin more supple and soft as well as do the trick of bronzing. Hemp seed oil and argan oil are two popular choices for natural bronzers.

Equipped with essential omega-3 fatty acids and proteins, hemp seed oil is known to heal and rejuvenate skin while adding color and shine. A side note: the hemp seed comes from a certain type of cannabis plant in which there are 400 varieties.

From the argan tree native to Morocco, argan oil is also rich in fatty acids and shows the same effects. A side note: the Morrocan government has reserved the argan oil production business for women only.

Both oils are dietary supplements, so ingestion may lead to the same results. But both tend to be expensive, so compare price with size and check ingredient lists.

Most and all of the oil in the product is ideal because some manufacturers may add other natural ingredients in the mix.
