Body oil after shower

What type of body oil is best for moisturizing after a shower?

Is it better to use a combination oil or single oil (like coconut or argan)?

Because of sensitive skin it’s hard to find combination oils without ingredients (esp essential oils) that cause irritation.

With a lot of oils, even within the Best By date, I have found I have to watch for rancid smells (harder to catch with scented or combination oils).

Any thoughts on using fractionated coconut oil? I generally like coconut oil because it’s not sticky and doesn’t stain. But it also doesn’t seem to hydrate as well and I don’t like that it solidifies at room temperature.

Or do you prefer body lotions & butters?
 
Jojoba is great because it is close to the make-up of our own sebum, and easily absorbed. I also use a Japanese camillia sinensis, the same oil from green tea plant, that I use on guns/razors/sharps.

Wife and I also like Coconut oil for our skin, (my beard) and hair.
I've not seen any of these go rancid.
Almond oil is another we use.
