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."

Questions, answered.

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.

08
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.

09
Is it good for very dry skin?

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

10
Will it feel greasy?

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

FULL TRANSPARENCY
WHY IT WORKS

Body & Hand Wash
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.

Body & Hand Lotion
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.

Body & Hair Fragrance Mist
Worn on both skin and hair, this fine mist lays down a soft, long-wearing veil of Santal | Vanilla fragrance. Panthenol, glycerin and açaí help condition and comfort as it scents, leaving hair feeling soft and skin feeling fresh.
The mist dries down cleanly with no heaviness or tackiness, leaving a subtle, lasting trail of warm sandalwood, cedar, vanilla and amber.
