Beauty shower oil promising to moisturise dry skin while transforming from a honey-like oil into a rich, silky lather. A comforting jasmine, grapefruit and vanilla fragrance gives showers a spa-like lift. Is SANCTUARY Shower Oil the right choice for everyday hydration?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Moisturising Effect: Transforms from oil into a silky lather and leaves skin feeling moisturised; 86% reported moisturised after use.
  • Best for: Suitable for all skin types, especially dry skin needing extra hydration and a fragranced wash.
  • Not ideal for: Users who prefer fragrance-free washes or who are sensitive to scented toiletries.

A nourishing blend of gold of pleasure oil and olive oil fragranced with jasmine, grapefruit and vanilla. The formula converts from a honey-like oil to a rich lather and claims up to two days of moisturised skin.


Long-lasting Hydration – With gold of pleasure oil and olive oil

A concentrated oil base combines gold of pleasure oil and olive oil so the formulation spreads evenly as the texture transforms from oil to lather. The oil content remains on the skin surface after rinsing, contributing to sustained moisture.

Skin feels replenished after use and the formulation is claimed to keep skin moisturised for up to two days.

Gentle Cleansing – With a honey-like oil that transforms into a silky lather

The honey-like texture emulsifies on contact with water, creating a silky foam that lifts dirt and impurities while carrying nourishing oils across the skin.

Cleanses without leaving skin feeling stripped, making it easy to skip an immediate moisturiser for many users.

Skin-friendly and Ethical – With mineral-oil-free, cruelty-free and vegan-friendly formulation

Formulation explicitly excludes mineral oil and carries cruelty-free and vegan-friendly claims, supported by an independent consumer trial measuring skin moisturisation.

Suitable for those who prioritise ethical cosmetics and for people looking for a kinder daily wash compatible with varied skin types.
