Slow beauty, by hand.
At Shelter Skin, every bottle of No. 2 Vanilla Body Oil begins with intention. We hand-split and meticulously prepare whole vanilla bean pods. This method allows us to preserve the bean’s complex aromatic profile, from its honeyed top notes to its resinous depth.
We then infuse the pods directly into organic golden jojoba oil for a minimum of 28 days, allowing time and warmth to gently coax out the vanilla’s natural oils and scent molecules. There are no shortcuts, no additives, and no hidden fragrance blends—just whole, honest ingredients handled with care.
The result? A body oil that celebrates the purity of its parts, elevated into something greater than the sum. Lush, moisturizing, and softly perfumed, it’s a sensory experience grounded in nature and made for ritual.
