WHY IT WORKS

Most washes clean by stripping the skin's own lipids, which is why skin feels tight afterwards. Santal | Vanilla Body & Hand Wash uses gentle coconut-derived cleansers to lift away daily build-up, while a three-ceramide complex with glycerin and Vitamin E stays on the skin to support the barrier. Skin is left clean, soft and comfortably hydrated.

01
Why doesn't my skin feel tight after using it?

Because it doesn't strip. Gentle coconut-derived cleansers clean while ceramides and glycerin stay on the skin to support the barrier and hold moisture.

02
Does it contain ceramides?

Yes, three of them (NP, AP and EOP), with cholesterol and phytosphingosine, so the barrier stays intact after washing.

03
Can I use it as a hand wash too?

Yes. It's designed for both body and hands, ideal at the sink where constant washing usually leaves skin dry.

04
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Oat and centella are included to calm and soothe. Patch test if you're highly reactive.

05
Does it lather?

It builds a soft, cushioned lather, gentle rather than the squeaky, high-foam strip of traditional soaps.

06
What does it smell like?

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

07
Is it vegan / cruelty-free?

Yes. It's vegan and cruelty-free.

    Lovely but subtle

    A really nice wash. I expected a stronger fragrance but actually love how soft it is.

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."
