WHY IT WORKS

Dry, tight skin is often a barrier that cannot hold moisture. Santal | Vanilla Body & Hand Lotion combines a three-ceramide complex with squalane and shea butter to replenish and seal the barrier, while niacinamide, oat and centella calm and strengthen. It absorbs quickly to leave skin soft, smooth and comfortably hydrated.

01
What makes this different from a regular body lotion?

It's formulated like facial skincare for the body: a three-ceramide barrier complex that replenishes the skin's own lipids, not just a surface moisturiser that fades.

02
Is it good for very dry skin?

Yes. The ceramide blend plus squalane and shea make it well suited to dry and dehydrated skin.

03
Will it feel greasy?

No. It absorbs quickly and dries down non-greasy, ready to dress.

04
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Niacinamide, oat and centella calm redness and soothe sensitivity. Patch test if you're highly reactive.

05
Does it contain ceramides like a face cream?

Yes, three of them (NP, AP and EOP), the same barrier lipids you'd find in a quality facial moisturiser.

06
What does it smell like?

Santal | Vanilla. Warm sandalwood and cedar softened with vanilla and amber. Sophisticated and gender-neutral.

07
Can I layer it with the rest of the range?

Yes. Layer under the Santal | Vanilla Fragrance Mist and pair with the Body & Hand Wash in the same scent.

08
Is it vegan / cruelty-free?

Yes. It's vegan and cruelty-free.

A NOTE FROM SONIA.

"I've always loved fragrance when it feels personal. Something soft you catch on your skin or in your hair throughout the day. That's what I wanted Santal | Vanilla to be. Cardamom brings a gentle warmth, sandalwood and cedar add depth, while vanilla and amber leave a soft, comforting trail. It's familiar, easy to wear and quietly beautiful. A little everyday luxury that feels like your own."
