Nécessaire The Body Wash Santal 8.4 fl oz — Sandalwood Shower Gel, Hypoallergenic & Non-Comedogenic

Nécessaire The Body Wash Santal is a sandalwood-forward multi-mineral shower gel designed to cleanse gently while supporting the skin’s barrier for everyday use.

This body wash combines gentle, plant-derived surfactants with a micro-dose of restorative minerals and conditioning ingredients to deliver a rich, foaming cleanse without stripping moisture. The scent profile pairs warm sandalwood with peppery and floral accents for a refined, unisex fragrance. Formulated to be non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, it’s made without SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, and PEGs, and is suitable for a wide range of skin types.

How does this body wash clean without drying my skin?

The formula uses mild, plant-based cleansing agents and glycerin to lift dirt and oil while helping skin retain hydration. A micro-dose of minerals such as magnesium and zinc supports the skin’s natural surface, reducing the need for overly stripping surfactants. The result is a luxurious foam that feels cleansing but not taut or tight.

• Plant-derived surfactants for gentle lather
• Glycerin for humectant hydration
• Minerals (epsom salt, magnesium, zinc, silica) for surface support

What does the scent profile of Santal smell like in daily use?

Santal centers on sandalwood’s warm, woody character balanced by black pepper’s subtle spice and floral notes from iris and jasmine. The fragrance is built to be sophisticated and wearable by anyone, lingering softly without overpowering. It pairs well with neutral or similarly woody body care scents.

• Dominant sandalwood warmth
• Supporting spicy black pepper top notes
• Soft floral nuance from iris and jasmine

Is this body wash safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The product is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic, formulated to minimize irritation and pore-clogging. It avoids common harsh additives that can aggravate sensitive skin and uses a measured mineral blend to help preserve the skin surface. Patch-test when trying any new product if you have known sensitivities.

• Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic formulation
• Free from SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, and PEGs
• Non-comedogenic for acne-prone body skin

How should I incorporate this into my routine?

Use each shower to lather over wet skin, rinse thoroughly, and follow with your preferred moisturizer or body serum. Because it cleans without over-stripping, it works well in both morning and evening routines and pairs cleanly with other Nécessaire products. A little goes a long way due to the foaming texture.

• Apply to wet skin, massage into a lather, then rinse
• Follow with body moisturizer to lock in hydration
• Suitable for daily use on all body areas

Who is this for: Anyone seeking a refined, unisex shower gel that cleans effectively while prioritizing skin comfort—ideal for people with sensitive, combination, or normal body skin who prefer thoughtfully formulated, fragrance-forward body care without harsh additives.
