Here’s a body wash that looks as good as it makes your skin feel. “This is a sensorial powerhouse that marries hydration with luxury,” says Gohara. “The hyaluronic acid replenishes moisture while the warm santal base makes your shower feel like a spa moment—hydration meets decadence.” The formula also contains skin brighteners, like vitamin C and niacinamide, and prebiotics to help balance the skin microbiome. You can also find this nourishing formula in four other scents, including saffron and cedar, and neroli and basil.

At a molecular level, hyaluronic acid is too big to penetrate skin and moisturize beyond the surface. But this formula contains hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and seven molecular weights of sodium hyaluronate, a smaller form of hyaluronic acid that can sink into and hydrate deeper layers of the skin. It also contains oat beta-glucan, and vitamins B5 and B12 to soothe skin, which is especially great for those with sensitive, reactive skin or a compromised barrier.
