Nécessaire The Body Wash Santal — 500ml Sandalwood Body Wash, Niacinamide & Non-Comedogenic

Nécessaire The Body Wash Santal is a gentle, multi-mineral shower gel that cleanses without stripping while layering a warm sandalwood fragrance.

This 500ml / 16.9 fl oz body wash is designed as skincare for the body: a restorative, non-drying formula that blends a micro-dose of minerals with glycerin, plant-based surfactants and niacinamide to support healthy-feeling skin. It produces a rich foam scented with sandalwood, black pepper, iris and jasmine, and is made without harsh additives such as SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates or PEGs.

How does The Body Wash Santal clean without drying my skin?

The formula uses gentle plant-derived surfactants instead of strong detergents, paired with humectants and a mineral complex to preserve the skin’s natural moisture. That means a leisurely foam that removes impurities but leaves skin feeling soft rather than tight.

• Plant-based surfactants for mild cleansing
• Glycerin and niacinamide to help maintain moisture balance
• Micro-dose minerals (epsom salt, magnesium, zinc, silica) to support barrier comfort
• Dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic for daily use

What does the scent profile smell like during and after showering?

Santal delivers a warm, woodsy first impression with sandalwood as the anchor note, softened by floral iris and jasmine and lifted with a hint of black pepper. The fragrance is designed to linger subtly on skin without overpowering, suitable for layering with other personal scents.

• Sandalwood base: warm, grounding woodsy tone
• Top lift: black pepper adds a spicy, modern edge
• Floral heart: iris and jasmine for a rounded, refined finish

Which skin types and sensitivities is this body wash appropriate for?

The Body Wash Santal is formulated to be hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, making it compatible with most skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s free from common irritants such as sulfates, parabens and phthalates, and has been dermatologist-tested to help reduce the risk of irritation when used as directed.

• Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested
• Non-comedogenic — suitable if you’re prone to body breakouts
• Vegan formula without SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates or PEGs
• Daily-use texture that won’t strip natural oils

How should I use it to get the best results?

Squirt a small amount into a loofah, washcloth or your hands, work into a rich lather, then rinse thoroughly. For best results follow with your usual body moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.

• Use a quarter-sized pump for a single shower; adjust as needed
• Rinse completely to remove fragrance residues
• Pair with a body moisturizer to seal in hydration
• Safe for daily morning or evening showers

Who is this for: The Body Wash Santal is for anyone seeking a skin-first shower gel with a refined woodsy scent—ideal for people who want a non-stripping daily cleanser, those with sensitive or easily congested body skin, and fragrance lovers who prefer a warm, layered sandalwood blend. It suits both men and women and works well as part of a minimalist, skincare-forward routine.
