Nécessaire The Hand Wash Santal — Sandalwood Liquid Hand Soap with Vitamins, Minerals & Omega 6/9

Nécessaire The Hand Wash Santal is a daily liquid hand cleanser that gently removes dirt while replenishing skin with vitamins, minerals and omega 6/9 in a warm sandalwood fragrance.

This sinkside hand soap blends functional cleansing with a ritual scent profile: sandalwood-led warmth balanced by peppery and floral accents. It’s formulated to support the skin’s surface during frequent washing, using facial-grade ingredients and a short ingredient list free of silicones, parabens, PEGs and phthalates. The Santal version is made to pair with the brand’s hand lotion so hands feel clean yet not stripped.

How does The Hand Wash Santal clean without drying my hands?

The formula uses mild surfactants and replenishing actives aimed at removing soil while helping preserve the skin barrier. It doesn’t rely on harsh detergents, so it leaves less tightness after washing.

• Mild cleansing agents that lift dirt without excessive stripping
• Fortified with vitamins and minerals to support surface hydration
• Omega 6/9 to help maintain the skin’s natural lipids during cleansing

What does the Santal scent actually smell like?

Santal centers on warm sandalwood, layered with subtle peppery spice and soft floral elements. The overall result is warm and woodsy with a refined, unisex profile suitable for bathroom and kitchen use.

• Sandalwood as the base note for warmth and depth
• Black pepper for a faint, spicy lift
• Iris and jasmine to add a delicate, clean floral nuance

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The product is formulated without common irritants like silicones, parabens, PEGs and phthalates and is labeled hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. As with any fragranced product, those with extreme sensitivity should patch-test first.

• Vegan formulation without major synthetic irritants
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic labeling
• Dermatologist-tested as part of product claims

How should I incorporate this into my sink routine?

Use as you would any liquid hand soap: pump, lather, rinse, and follow with a moisturizer for best results. The brand recommends pairing the wash with their Hand Lotion to lock in moisture after cleansing.

• Pump a dime-to-quarter-sized amount depending on need
• Lather thoroughly for ~20 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water
• Finish with Nécessaire Hand Lotion to replenish and hydrate

It’s designed for people who want a higher-quality everyday soap—those looking for mild, thoughtfully formulated cleansers, fragrance lovers seeking a warm sandalwood profile, and shoppers who appreciate pairing cleansing and moisturizing products for a complete sinkside routine.
