Body Nectar: Skin Essence

Your skin, but softer.

Most body oils leave you standing naked in the bathroom for ten minutes waiting to get dressed. Skin Essence does not. A lightweight daily nourishing oil formulated with squalane, jojoba and isoamyl laurate (nature's answer to replacing silicone) it absorbs fast, feels like nothing and leaves your skin genuinely soft without a single questionable ingredient in sight. No mineral oil. No synthetic fragrance. No greasy residue on your favourite sheets. Just clean, nourished skin every single day.

HOW TO USE

After showering, pat your skin mostly dry, leave it slightly damp. Apply 3–5 pumps and massage into skin while it's still warm. The damp skin helps lock in moisture as the oil absorbs. 

Work from your legs upward. The oils sink in quickly, you don't need to wait long before getting dressed. 

 

Use daily for best results. The botanicals are doing their job every time, it's not a once-a-week treat, it's an everyday thing.

how skin essence works

A body oil that actually absorbs, because that's what skin needs from it.

1

IT SPREADS LIKE NOTHING

Isoamyl Laurate (a plant-derived emollient) gives Skin Essence its signature silky texture. It moves across your skin effortlessly, no drag, no grease. It's the ingredient that makes the first pump feel like a luxury and the last one feel like skin.

 

2

IT ABSORBS INSTEAD OF SITTING

Unlike silicone or mineral oil-based products that coat the surface, the base here, squalane and organic jojoba, mimics your skin's own natural oils. It absorbs in rather than sitting on top, which is the difference between feeling moisturised and feeling sticky.
 

3

IT LOCKS IN MOISTURE

Apply to slightly damp skin, and the formula works with the moisture already there, sealing it in as it absorbs. Camellia seed oil and apricot kernel oil support this with their high oleic acid content, softening skin and supporting its natural barrier.

 

4

YOUR SKIN JUST FEELS BETTER

Bisabolol (from chamomile) quietly does its calming, anti-inflammatory work every day, which means over time your skin isn't just moisturised, it's more settled and less reactive.

why skin essence?

  • For the Skin

  • For the Senses

Squalane

Derived from sugarcane and molecularly identical to the oil your skin naturally produces. Non-comedogenic, non-greasy, and suitable for every skin type, including oily and sensitive.

Camellia Seed Oil

A Japanese beauty staple for good reason. High in oleic acid, lightweight, and highly absorbent, it improves skin's softness and elasticity with consistent use without ever feeling heavy.

Bisabolol

An active derived from chamomile that works as an anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing agent. It's in here for anyone who finds their skin reacts to most things. This is the ingredient that makes Skin Essence different. 

Mandarin 

Clean and bright without being sharp. Mandarin oil sets the tone. The first thing you smell is light, citrusy, and immediately pleasant. It fades into the heart and doesn't linger aggressively.

Lavender + Rose Geranium

Lavender's classic calming quality meets rose geranium's soft, skin-balancing florality. Together they make up the middle of the blend, familiar enough to feel comforting, interesting enough to not feel generic.

Vanilla Absolute

A full botanical vanilla extract (not fragrance, not synthetic) that settles the blend into something warm, skin-close, and genuinely beautiful. It's the note that makes people turn around and ask what you're wearing.

frequently asked questions

Q: Is this going to feel greasy?

A: No! And that's by design. The base is squalane and organic jojoba, which are skin-identical oils that absorb in rather than sitting on top. Isoamyl Laurate gives it that silky texture going on, and it settles quickly. Apply after a shower to still-damp skin for fastest absorption.

Q: When's the best time to apply it?

A: Right after a shower is ideal. Pat your skin mostly dry, leave it slightly damp, then apply. The warmth and residual moisture help the oil absorb and lock in hydration at the same time. Morning or evening both work.

Q: What does it actually smell like?

A: Mandarin opens it clean and bright, lavender and rose geranium carry the middle, and vanilla absolute settles it into something warm and skin-close. It's soft without being floral-heavy, and warm without being too sweet. 

Q: I have sensitive skin. Is this okay for me?

A: Yes. Bisabolol (from chamomile) is in the formula specifically for this. It's an antiinflammatory and skin-calming active that makes Skin Essence genuinely suitable for reactive skin types. We still recommend a patch test on the inner wrist before first full use, and the full ingredient list is above if you'd like to check for personal sensitivities.

Q: Can I use this on my face?

A: It's formulated as a body oil, so we'd stick to body use. A few of the oils are suitable for facial use, but the formula isn't optimised for it. If you're after a facial oil, we'd say that's a different product.

Q: How long will a bottle last?

A: That depends on how generously you apply. Most people find that our 100ml bottle lasts 4–6 weeks with daily full-body use. If you're using it more as a targeted moisturiser on dry patches, it'll stretch further.
