The Benefits
The Signature Scent Gets Functional
First in hand is The Body Wash Hinoki Resurfacing Cleanse ($25), a 6% AHA/BPA/PHA formula with resveratrol and niacinamide for a resurfacing treatment that keeps your skin hydrated. Hinoki, a Japenese cedar, is often called the world’s best smelling wood. Grown only in Japan and coveted for its high quality timber, Hinoki is used to create soothing environments and promote feelings of vitality.
Up next is The Body Wash Olibanum Radiance Cleanse ($25). This Vitamin C-powered formula is geared toward brightening dull skin for a more warm and radiant finish. The enzyme-in-gel formula is scented with Olibanum, which you might better recognize as frankincense. Olibanum is the essential oil that’s extracted from a frankincense tree, and its calming qualities have been used for centuries for traditional healing. The formula combines this rich scent with fig leaf and vanilla orchid for an indulgently relaxing experience.
Rounding out the collection is the The Body Wash Santal Therapeutic Cleanse ($25), which contains healing epsom salts and nourishing minerals like zinc and magnesium to deliver the best rest for your skin. Pure sandalwood has been used to help minimize anxiety and stress, helping you to reach the same calm that the wash will give your skin.
What does Hinoki smell like?
A woodsy scent with a rich, smoky undercurrent and a surprising citrus spark, Japanese cypress has been used for centuries to build the most sacred and comforting of places. Expertly combined with tuberose and vetiver, Hinoki brings you right to the mountain spa of your dreams.
What does Olibanum smell like?
Olibanum is an earthy, almost spicy smell that treads the line effortlessly between clear pine and soft citrus. Enhanced with vanille, cassis buds and lily of the valley, the final fragrance is the embodiment of cozy.
What does Santal smell like?
Rich and softly sweet, sandalwood is a scent with amber and wood undertones. Santal’s profile is refined with Iris, suede and black pepper to create a deep, but plush fragrance.
