Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt Natural Body & Hand Wash 14.8 fl oz — Plant-Based, Gentle Hydrating Cleanse

Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt is a plant-based body and hand wash scented with warm sandalwood, vetiver, and amber wood for a gentle, fragrant cleanse.

This 14.8 fl oz (440 ml) natural wash blends botanical surfactants and conditioning oils to remove impurities while leaving a subtle woody fragrance on skin. Crafted without animal-derived ingredients, the formula leans on banana extract, coconut, and sunflower oils to nourish and help maintain skin softness. The scent profile is layered—sandalwood and cedarwood at the top, spiced vetiver and nutmeg in the middle, and a rounded amber wood base—designed to be both understated and long-lasting without overpowering.

How does this wash clean without drying my skin?

The No.04 wash uses plant-derived cleansing agents rather than harsh sulfates, and it contains moisturizing oils that support the skin barrier. Together, they remove dirt and sweat while minimizing tightness and irritation commonly associated with conventional soaps.

• Plant-based surfactants for effective yet gentle cleansing
• Banana extract and coconut oil to add slip and hydration
• Sunflower oil helps condition and soothe after washing
• Balanced pH-minded formulation for everyday use

What does No.04 Bois de Balincourt smell like and how long does it linger?

No.04 opens with warm sandalwood and cedarwood, moves into vetiver and spice notes, and settles into amber wood for a dry, woody finish. The fragrance is refined and wearable—noticeable after use but designed to layer with Maison Louis Marie lotions or oils rather than dominate the room.

• Top: sandalwood, cedarwood—warm and creamy
• Mid: vetiver, nutmeg, cinnamon—earthy spice complexity
• Base: amber wood—rounded, lingering drydown
• Pairs well with the brand’s body oils and lotions for extended scent wear

Is this product safe for sensitive skin and aligned with clean-beauty values?

Maison Louis Marie formulates No.04 to be vegan and cruelty-free, focusing on naturally derived ingredients. While the wash avoids animal ingredients and uses nourishing plant oils, customers with specific sensitivities should check the full ingredient list and patch-test as needed.

• Vegan and cruelty-free—no animal-derived ingredients
• Formulated with plant extracts and botanical oils
• Avoids common harsher detergents, but fragrance is present
• Patch test recommended for highly reactive skin types

How can I incorporate this wash into my routine?

Use No.04 as a daily body and hand wash in the shower or at the sink. It layers seamlessly with Maison Louis Marie's complementary products to build a cohesive fragrant routine without competing aromas.

• Pump into a loofah or hands for a full-body lather
• Follow with the brand’s matching body oil or lotion to lock in scent and moisture
• Keep a bottle at the sink for fragrant, low-residue hand washing
• Travel-friendly size for longer stays when packed carefully

Who this is for: If you want a higher-end, plant-forward cleanser that combines a refined woody fragrance with gentle conditioning properties, Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt is aimed at fragrance-conscious shoppers and clean-beauty enthusiasts. It suits anyone who prefers subtle, layered scents and seeks a vegan, cruelty-free wash to pair with coordinating body oils and lotions. Those with extremely fragrance-sensitive skin should test a small area first.
