Nécessaire The Body Wash Santal — Sandalwood Multi-Oil Shower Gel 500ml, Gentle Non-Comedogenic Cleanser

Nécessaire The Body Wash Santal is a mildly foaming, multi-mineral shower gel that cleanses without stripping and leaves a warm sandalwood fragrance.

This shower gel blends gentle plant-derived surfactants, a micro-dose of restorative minerals, glycerin and a light multi-oil texture to cleanse the body while supporting the skin barrier. Finished with a warm, woodsy scent led by sandalwood and anchored by black pepper, iris and jasmine, the formula is designed to be non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic for everyday use.

How does this body wash clean without drying my skin?

The formula uses mild, plant-based surfactants instead of harsh sulfates, plus glycerin and a micro-dose of minerals to retain moisture during cleansing. It foams richly for an efficient clean while avoiding the tight, stripped feeling typical of traditional gels.

• Plant-derived surfactants replace SLS/SLES for gentler lather
• Glycerin attracts and holds moisture on the skin
• Epsom salt, magnesium, zinc and silica support barrier resilience
• Non-drying texture suitable for daily use

What skin types is The Body Wash Santal suitable for?

Dermatologist-tested and labelled hypoallergenic, this body wash is formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin while still effective for normal and dry types. It’s non-comedogenic and free from many common irritants.

• Non-comedogenic — designed not to clog pores
• Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested for broad tolerance
• Free of parabens, phthalates, PEGs, SLS/SLES
• Vegan formulation with plant-based ingredients

What does the scent profile smell like and how strong is it?

Santal offers a refined, warm woods aroma centered on sandalwood with spicy black pepper and soft floral notes of iris and jasmine. The fragrance presents as noticeable but not overpowering, designed to linger subtly on skin post-shower.

• Top/middle notes: black pepper and floral accents
• Base note: prominent sandalwood warmth
• Designed for a refined, lingering but not dominant finish
• Works well layered with body moisturizers or deodorants

How should I use this in my routine for best results?

Use daily in the shower: pump a small amount onto a loofah, washcloth or hands, lather across the body and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a body moisturizer to lock in hydration and complement the scent.

• Apply a quarter- to half-pump for targeted areas; use more for full-body lather
• Rinse completely to avoid residue
• Pair with a body lotion to enhance barrier support and scent longevity
• Suitable for morning or evening showers
