Key Ingredients

SUNFLOWER OIL (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS): Rich in linoleic acid, a fatty acid known to support the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss. Native to the Americas, sunflowers were cultivated for thousands of years before spreading through Europe in the 16th century.

GRAPESEED OIL (VITIS VINIFERA): Lightweight and rich in omega-6 fatty acids, helping to nourish and soften the skin without heaviness. Traditionally produced as a byproduct of winemaking across the Mediterranean and Europe.

AVOCADO OIL (PERSEA AMERICANA): A deeply emollient oil rich in oleic acid, known for calming and conditioning dry skin. Avocados were cultivated in Central America for over 5,000 years and prized by the Aztecs for nourishment and ritual use.

CASTOR OIL (RICINUS COMMUNIS): A dense botanical oil high in ricinoleic acid, valued for its moisturising and smoothing properties. Used historically across Ancient Egypt, India and East Africa in beauty, medicine and lamp oils.

VITAMIN E (TOCOPHEROL): A naturally occurring antioxidant that helps support skin resilience and protect against environmental stress. The name tocopherol comes from the Greek words tokos and pherein, meaning “to bring forth offspring.”

FAQs

IS THIS GOOD FOR DRY SKIN?
Yes. 39BC was designed as an oil-based cleanser that cleanses the skin without leaving it feeling stripped or tight afterwards.
Unlike traditional shower gels, which can leave dry skin feeling squeaky or dehydrated, our oil-to-milk formulas combine cleansing agents with nourishing plant oils to help support softness and comfort after bathing.
Skin is left cleansed, hydrated, and lightly scented.
CAN I USE THIS IN THE BATH?
Yes. 39BC can be used in both the bath and shower.
In the shower, apply directly onto damp skin and massage as the oil transforms into a soft milk.
In the bath, smooth onto skin before soaking or apply at the end of your bath ritual as a final cleansing layer.
IS THIS A SHOWER GEL?
No. 39BC is an oil body cleanser.
Traditional shower gels are usually water-based and designed to create a large foam. 39BC is oil-based, creating a softer, more sensorial cleansing experience that leaves skin nourished rather than stripped.
The texture begins as a rich oil and transforms into a cleansing milk when combined with water.
DOES IT FOAM?
39BC creates a soft, light lather rather than a large foam.
We intentionally formulated the texture to feel closer to a cleansing oil than a traditional foaming body wash. The experience is creamy, milky, and skin-softening.
WHAT DOES OIL-TO-MILK MEAN?
Oil-to-milk describes the transformation that happens when water touches the formula.
The cleanser begins as a silky oil, then emulsifies into a soft milk as you massage it onto damp skin. This allows the formula to cleanse effectively while maintaining a nourished, conditioned skin feel.
WILL THIS LEAVE RESIDUE?
No. The formula rinses cleanly from the skin.
Because the cleanser is oil-based, skin may feel softer and more conditioned after use compared to a traditional shower gel, but it should not feel greasy or coated.
It is designed to leave skin comfortable, supple, and lightly fragranced after rinsing.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
39BC is formulated to be gentle and non-stripping, however all skin is individual.
Our formulas contain fine fragrance compositions alongside plant oils, so we recommend patch testing first if you are highly sensitive, reactive, or fragrance-intolerant. Our FIG MILK oil is currently best for a lighter experience.
WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE?
Each 39BC cleanser has its own fragrance profile inspired by bathing rituals, ancient ingredients, and emotional states.
Some scents are softer and skin-close, while others are deeper, warmer, or more floral. The fragrances are designed to unfold through steam and warm water, creating an immersive bathing experience rather than a sharp, overpowering scent.
HOW LONG DOES THE SCENT LAST?
The scent is designed to linger softly on the skin after bathing.
Longevity will vary depending on the fragrance, your skin type, and whether you layer with other scented products, but most people experience a subtle skin scent that remains for several hours after use.
CAN I LAYER IT WITH PERFUME?
Yes. 39BC was designed with fragrance layering in mind.
CAN I USE THIS EVERY DAY?
Yes. 39BC was designed for daily use.
The formulas are intentionally gentle and non-stripping, making them suitable for everyday bathing rituals in both the shower and bath.
The cleansers create a scented base layer on the skin that can be worn alone or paired with perfume. Many customers use them as part of a longer fragrance ritual, combining body care, oils, and scent together.
IS THIS SUITABLE FOR SHAVING?
Yes. The milky texture creates slip across the skin, making it suitable for shaving.
Many customers use 39BC as part of a full-body shower ritual including cleansing, shaving, and fragrance layering.

Best For:

A

Normal to Dry Skin

B

Lipid-deficient or dry skin types

Instructions For Use

Run warm water and allow the steam to fill the room. The heat will open up your 39BC scent.
Massage the cleansing oil directly onto wet skin using your hands, a loofah or cleansing cloth, allowing the formula to transform into a soft cleansing milk as it meets the water.Wash throughly.
Remain in the warmth of the water for a few extra moments. Let the steam, scent and stillness settle into the skin and nervous system.
After rinsing, apply body lotion, oil or cream onto damp skin to lock in moisture, softness and scent.
