Shelter Skin No.2 Vanilla Body Oil
Real Vanilla, Soft Resin, & Natural Sweetness
A deeply hydrating body oil made with organic golden jojoba and real vanilla. Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and leaves skin soft, luminous, and delicately scented.
› The Scent - Real vanilla, soft and resinous with a subtle, natural sweetness. Less sugary, more grounded. It wears close to the skin, warm, slightly woody, and quietly addictive.
A golden elixir for skin and senses, No.2 Vanilla Body Oil is crafted in small batches with just three ingredients. At the base is organic, cold-pressed golden jojoba oil, chosen for its similarity to the skin's natural oils, allowing it to absorb effortlessly while delivering lasting hydration.
Shelter slowly infuses freshly split organic Grade A vanilla bean pods directly into the oil, extracting their full depth over time. The result is a true vanilla, warm, resinous, and softly sweet, with a complexity that feels grounded rather than sugary.
SLOW BEAUTY, BY HAND
At Shelter Skin, every bottle of No. 2 Vanilla Body Oil begins with intention. They hand-split and meticulously prepare whole vanilla bean pods. This method allows Shelter to preserve the bean's complex aromatic profile, from its honeyed top notes to its resinous depth.
They 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.
HOW TO USE
Directions: Dispense a pump of the body oil into your palms and gently massage the oil into your skin using circular motions, focusing on areas that need extra hydration. Allow the oil to absorb completely before getting dressed. Use daily for radiant, nourished skin.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because real vanilla continues to bloom in the oil, the aroma may evolve over time from light and creamy to a richer toasted marshmallow, with subtle shifts depending on warmth, light, and storage.
* Warning: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on irritated skin. Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient. Discontinue use if irrational occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

Shelter's body oil is made with just three ingredients: organic golden jojoba oil, organic Grade A vanilla beans, and non-GMO vitamin E oil. The oil is slowly infused to extract the rich, warm aroma and skin-loving benefits without synthetic fragrance, fillers, or preservatives.
Not at all. Jojoba oil closely mimics the skin's natural sebum, allowing it to absorb quickly and leave skin soft without feeling sticky or oily. Shelter's formula also does not stain clothing.
Yes. Both jojoba oil and vanilla are gentle, non-irritating ingredients. Shelter avoids essential oils and additives that commonly cause sensitivity, making the formula suitable for most skin types, including sensitive or reactive skin.
Shelter's formula is gentle enough for facial use, although patch testing is recommended for those prone to breakouts. Jojoba is naturally non-comedogenic and soothing, while the infusion method avoids harsh ingredients.
No. The scent comes purely from a slow infusion of real vanilla bean pods, creating a rich vanilla and toasted marshmallow aroma that lingers naturally without synthetic fragrance.
Apply the body oil to damp skin after a shower or bath to help lock in moisture, or use as a daily moisturiser whenever skin needs nourishment.
For an extra boost of hydration, a few drops can also be mixed into Shelter's No. 1 Vanilla Tallow Body Butter.
Yes. Shelter's ingredients are simple and free from essential oils, making the body oil a skin-nourishing option during pregnancy or postpartum.
As always, check with your healthcare provider for individual concerns.
Absolutely. Jojoba oil is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids that help replenish the skin barrier, while vanilla offers antioxidant and calming properties. The body oil is suitable for dry, itchy, or sun-exposed skin.
Shelter's generously sized bottle is designed to last, reducing the need for frequent repurchases. With daily use, one bottle typically lasts 2 to 3 months, depending on how much is applied per use.
