Nécessaire The Hand Lotion Santal — sandalwood hand moisturizer, 100% vegan, fast-absorbing shea & vitamins

Nécessaire The Hand Lotion Santal is a rich, sinkside hand moisturizer scented with sandalwood notes that replenishes skin with shea, vitamins, minerals and omega 6/9 after cleansing.

Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, this hand lotion is designed for frequent handwashing moments: it absorbs quickly, helps restore moisture balance and leaves a refined Santal fragrance of sandalwood, black pepper, iris and jasmine. Formulated without silicones, parabens, PEGs or phthalates and made vegan, the lotion combines facial-grade actives with skin-friendly emollients for everyday care.

How does this lotion restore moisture after washing hands?

The Hand Lotion Santal replenishes hydration using emollients and humectants that bind water to skin while a concentrated dose of shea butter creates a soft, protective layer. Vitamins and minerals support the skin’s surface barrier so hands feel smoother and look healthier after repeat use.

• Shea butter for immediate, long-lasting emollience
• Vitamins and minerals to support skin recovery
• Omega 6/9 fatty acids to help maintain barrier integrity
• Fast-absorbing texture suitable for sinkside application

What does the Santal fragrance smell like and how long does it linger?

Santal opens with warm sandalwood, brightened by spicy black pepper and softened with floral iris and jasmine. The scent is refined and designed to linger subtly on skin without overpowering, ideal for everyday wear after handwashing.

• Sandalwood-forward composition with woody warmth
• Subtle spicy top notes for freshness
• Light floral heart for softness and balance
• Delicate dry-down that complements personal fragrance

Which ingredients are excluded and why does that matter?

This formula is crafted without silicones, parabens, PEGs or phthalates and is vegan, reflecting a minimalist approach that prioritizes skin compatibility and cleaner formulation. Omitting those ingredients reduces potential irritants and keeps the focus on nourishing, facial-grade actives.

• No silicones for a less occlusive finish
• No parabens, PEGs or phthalates for cleaner formulation standards
• Vegan ingredients to align with many ethical preferences
• Dermatologist-tested to support broad skin tolerance

How should I use this hand lotion for best results?

Apply a generous amount after each hand wash or whenever hands feel dry. Massage into fingers, knuckles and cuticles until absorbed; reapply throughout the day for ongoing comfort and scent refreshes.

• Use sinkside after washing to lock in moisture
• Massage into cuticles and between fingers for targeted care
• Reapply after sanitizing or exposure to drying conditions
• Use nightly as a richer treatment if extra hydration is needed

Who is this for: The Hand Lotion Santal is suited for people who wash their hands frequently, anyone seeking a refined, unisex sandalwood fragrance paired with effective hydration, and shoppers who prefer clean, dermatologist-tested, vegan formulations without silicones, parabens or phthalates. It’s ideal for those who want a fast-absorbing sinkside lotion that nourishes skin with facial-grade vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids while leaving a sophisticated scent.
