Details & care
What it is: A daily, nonirritating gel-oil body wash rich in vitamins and niacinamide that helps promote skin health.
What it does: A cult-classic treatment cleanse, this body wash contains mild plant-derived surfactants that gently cleanse skin without stripping or leaving residue. It's formulated with luxe oils of marula, cacay and meadowfoam to help nourish and soften skin, along with vitamins A, B3, C and E; omegas 6 and 9 and antioxidants. The iconic texture is built on glycerin, making the formula nonstripping, nondrying and comforting. The pH level is 5.5–5.6. Nécessaire formulates to pH levels that support your natural pH and barrier function. When a natural pH is maintained, skin is in the optimal state to recognize and repeat the visible benefits of active ingredients.
How to use: The Body Wash features a twist cap that needs to be activated. First, twist the cap clockwise firmly to lock it in place. Then, twist the cap counterclockwise to gently open. Flip the bottle and gently squeeze to pour. Apply all over body. Massage for rich foam, then rinse well. The formula doubles as a nourishing bubble bath.

Great body wash
Excellent product! It's moisturizing and soothing. At 78 my skin has become more dry and this helps so much.

The new fragrance is a let down
I loved the sandalwood fragrance and it was the only body wash I used for years! The new “santal” fragrance smells like a Le Labo knockoff and doesn’t have much sandalwood aroma anymore. Please bring back the original!

Scent fades immediately
It’s a nice light body wash that foams easily but if you’re looking for something that leaves a lasting scent, this is not it. It disappears once you rinse it off. I’m glad I tried a sample before purchasing it.

Fresh Rain Fragrance
Yes, there is a eucalyptus smell but it is very mild. They must have cut the sharpness of eucalyptus with something. It smells like rain to me. The product does not lather but mildly cleanses the body. I like it a lot.

fell short scent wise
I bought eucalyptus to try because I’ve heard some great reviews. Maybe I need to smell some other ones. This to me smells like a spa, but almost like a bug spray? I can’t put my finger on it. I’m going to return.

The Body Wash that does job!
This Body Wash makes you feel so good all over and so relaxed. It’s reasonably priced for what kind of body wash it is. I have never seen a free gift given for Nessaire body wash since I have been purchasing all these years of some type.

Clean, soft, and beautifully scented skin
This is such a good body wash! My skin felt clean and moisturized. I’ve been using Necessaire body wash, serum, and lotion for a few weeks and I can see a difference in my skin. No dry winter skin and improved texture.
