Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
The SU Oil fills a gap nothing else in the SU family covers — an oil format that works on both hair and skin, that you can apply during the day rather than only before or after sun exposure. The Bitter Orange Extract provides real antioxidant UV protection for hair while the lightweight base absorbs without greasiness on skin. The dual-protocol is the practical edge: protective treatment on dry hair at the beach, radiant body finish after the shower. One product, two completely different but genuinely useful jobs.
Read full stylist notes
The client who heads to the cottage for a week and wants one product that works for their hair and skin without needing a bag full of bottles. They apply it to dry hair in the morning before the lake as a protective treatment, then use it again on their skin after showering in the evening. One product pulling both shifts. Davines is the only professional haircare brand Moda carries — behind the chair, at the sink, and across every retail recommendation. The Bitter Orange Extract in the SU Oil is Regenerative Organic Certified™, sourced from Mrs. Paola Nastasi's farm in Avola, Siracusa, Italy — the same sourcing commitment that runs across the entire SU family.

How to use
Use it the way we would.
- On hair during sun exposure: apply to dry lengths and ends — do not rinse. As a pre-shampoo pak: apply to dry hair, leave 10–20 minutes, then shampoo and condition as normal. On skin after showering: apply to clean, towel-dried skin for softness and radiance.
Moda stylist tipThe pre-shampoo pak use is the most powerful application most clients miss entirely. Apply generously to dry hair before getting in the water or shower, leave for 10–20 minutes, then wash as normal. For clients spending consecutive days at the beach or lake, this one step — done the morning before heading out — makes a cumulative difference that no after-sun product alone can replicate. The oil nourishes the fibre before the next round of sun, salt, or chlorine strips it again.
Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaHow is the SU Hair & Body Oil different from the SU Hair Milk? They both protect hair in summer.
Yes, they both protect hair in summer but work differently. The Hair Milk is a UV-filter leave-in spray applied before sun exposure as a dedicated UV shield. The Hair & Body Oil is an oil format that provides antioxidant-based UV protection during sun exposure and also works as a nourishing pre-shampoo pak and a body oil after showering. One is a spray UV protectant; the other is a multitasking oil.
Can I use the SU Hair & Body Oil on my skin as a tanning oil or does it contain SPF?
No, this product does not contain SPF and is not a sunscreen. Davines specifically states it does not contain SPF. The Bitter Orange Extract provides antioxidant-based protection against UV-caused free radicals on the hair, but this is not a substitute for SPF on skin. For broad-spectrum skin sun protection, Davines SU SPF30 is the dedicated product.
What is the pre-shampoo pak use and how is it different from just using the oil normally?
Yes, it's a different protocol with more intensive nourishing results. Apply the Oil generously to dry hair, leave on for 10–20 minutes, then shampoo and condition as normal. The oil penetrates more deeply when left on dry hair with processing time versus applied and left as a quick treatment. For anyone spending multiple consecutive days outdoors, this pre-shampoo step before the beach or lake day makes a cumulative difference.
Will the SU Hair & Body Oil make my hair look greasy when I apply it during the day at the beach?
No — the formula is specifically designed to be lightweight and absorb quickly rather than sit on the surface. For a non-greasy result on hair, apply to lengths and ends only, warm the oil between your palms before applying, and distribute evenly with fingers or a comb. The amount matters — start with less than you think and build if needed.
I already use the Davines OI Oil on my hair regularly. Should I switch to the SU Oil for summer, or use both?
They serve different purposes and can both be used. The OI Oil delivers Roucou Oil shine and softness as a styling finish. The SU Hair & Body Oil provides UV-protective antioxidant coverage specific to summer sun exposure and doubles as a body treatment. For summer, use the SU Oil during or before sun exposure and keep the OI Oil for its styling-finish role. They complement rather than replace each other.
