This nourishing body wash gets me more compliments than my favorite perfume

There’s nothing I love more than smelling good. Well, except when someone tells me I smell good, and a recent addition to my body care routine has all but tripled that compliment.

Salt & Stone’s Vetiver & Santal Body Wash has become my new self-care go-to, and something tells me that it may just become yours, too.

Now, we’ve all used body washes that smell good before, but one that has a scent that lingers (in a good way) while also deeply nourishing skin can be hard to find, at least in my experience. That’s why this one is such a standout.

First and foremost, Salt & Stone’s body wash is true skincare for your body. This gel body wash features a blend of antioxidant-rich vitamin C, smoothing niacinamide, hydrating hyaluronic acid and microbiome-balancing prebiotics. Together, this skin-loving blend provides a deep clean while repairing skin, never leaving it dry or irritated.

It’s also worth noting that this pick is dermatologist-recommended, vegan, paraben-free, phthalate-free, sulfate-free and cruelty-free.

But I’d be remiss to ignore the thing that has made this body wash go so viral: its rich variety of unisex scents. Salt & Stone’s body wash is currently available in five incredible scent combinations: Bergamot & Hinoki, Black Rose & Oud, Neroli & Basil, Saffron & Cedar and, my personal favorite, Santal & Vetiver.

Why I love Salt & Stone’s body wash

The first time I took a whiff of the Santal & Vetiver body wash, I was hooked, and I’ll be honest, I didn’t even pay attention to the skincare ingredients at first; I just knew I needed to smell like this soap.

Now, the first time I used it? That’s when I became a full-on convert. This wash provides a great lather, a deep clean and has a scent that anyone who is a fan of warm, woody scents is going to adore.

Since incorporating this body wash into my routine, I’ve noticed my sensitive skin both looks and feels better. It’s also felt more moisturized than ever before, something I’ve appreciated this summer as my skin gets extra dry from sun exposure.

But my favorite result of using this wash? Every time I do use it, I always have someone ask me what perfume I’m wearing (hand to God). It’s always fun to see the look on their face when I tell them it’s a body wash, not a $200+ perfume.

At $36, Salt & Stone’s Vetiver & Santal Body Wash is definitely a pricey investment. However, I look at it like this: I invest a lot of money into my facial skincare, so it only makes sense to take care of the rest of my skin, too. Plus, if it means I can have healthier skin and get a few, “Wow, you smell great!” compliments while I’m at it, it’s money well-spent in my book.
