OUR PROCESS
Slow beauty, by hand.
At Shelter Skin, every bottle of No. 2 Deep End Body Oil begins with a thoughtful approach to scent. Deep End is created from a blend of pure botanicals selected for their quality, character, and skin compatibility.
Creamy coconut, soft ylang-ylang, warm tonka bean, and smooth sandalwood come together to create a scent that feels tropical, nostalgic, and easy to wear.
No synthetic fragrance, no unnecessary additives, no undisclosed blends. Just intentional ingredients handled with care.
The result is a silky body oil that hydrates beautifully, leaves skin soft and luminous, and adds a subtle scent that feels like summer.
FAQ
What makes this body oil different from others?
No. 2 Deep End Body Oil is made with organic jojoba oil and pure botanicals. It is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and designed to hydrate the skin without a heavy or sticky finish.
The scent comes from coconut, ylang-ylang, tonka bean, sandalwood, and benzoin, with no synthetic fragrance or undisclosed fragrance blends.
Will this leave my skin feeling greasy?
No. Jojoba oil closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum, allowing it to absorb easily and leave skin soft, smooth, and hydrated without a greasy or sticky finish.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Our formula is made with skin compatibility in mind and uses a low scent load (less than 3%) of botanicals.
If you have sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend patch testing before full use.
Can I use this on my face too?
While formulated for the body, this oil can be used on the face depending on your skin type. Jojoba oil is lightweight and non-comedogenic.
We recommend patch testing first, especially if you are acne-prone, sensitive, or new too introducing botanical ingredients to your routine.
What does Deep End smell like?
Deep End smells warm, creamy, and tropical. Coconut is the most noticeable note, softened by ylang-ylang and grounded with sandalwood and tonka bean.
It has a subtle vintage sunscreen-like quality, but feels more elevated than sweet or beachy. Think warm skin, soft coconut, and a smooth woody finish.
Is there any added fragrance?
There is no synthetic fragrance and no undisclosed fragrance blend. The scent comes entirely from pure botanicals, including coconut, ylang-ylang, tonka bean, sandalwood, and benzoin.
Will the scent last all day?
Deep End is designed to wear close to the skin. Because we use pure botanicals at a low scent load, the scent will be softer and more subtle than a conventional fragranced body product.
For a stronger scent experience, pair with No. 3 Deep End Perfume Oil and reapply as desired.
How do I use the body oil?
Apply to damp skin after showering to help lock in moisture, or use throughout the day whenever your skin needs lightweight hydration.
For a more layered routine, pair with the No. 1 Deep End Tallow Body Butter.
Is it safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We have extremely high ingredient standards and never formulate with endocrine disruptors, always ensuring our formulas are skin-compatible. We also carefully select our essential oils and process methods with this in mind.
As with any topical product, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Does it help with dry or irritated skin?
Yes. Jojoba oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, helping to support the skin barrier and improve hydration. The formula is designed to leave skin feeling calm, nourished, and hydrated.
How long will one bottle last?
With daily use, one bottle typically lasts 2 to 3 months, depending on how much you apply per use.
