Stop Neglecting the Rest of You! These New Body Care Essentials Are Here To Cleanse, Treat and Hydrate
From the shower to the vanity
From Elemis’ recent foray into bath and body to Fenty Skin’s latest scent capsule, here are the new body care essentials you’ll reach for time and time again.
Skincare this, hair care that—but how on top of your body care are you? When you’re bogged down with 10 steps in your skincare routine, it’s easy to forget to slather on body lotion. And sure, if you’re in the shower doing your hair wash routine, sometimes it’s just easier to do a quick once-over as opposed to scrubbing down every inch of your legs, arms and back. Unfortunately, all of that spells out a recipe for bacne, itchiness, and ashy skin, none of which you really want to experience yourself (we presume).
So, instead of treating your body care routine as a chore, reframe it as a self-care ritual you look forward to every day. Whether that’s incorporating stunning scents and lovely textures, or multi-tasking formulations into your everyday routine, the point is to incentivise yourself to invest more in your body. That’s why we’ve put together our latest beauty edit—a collection of the best body care products to launch in 2026, from La Prairie’s luxurious cashmere body cream to The Ordinary’s convenient salicylic acid body serum. Find the full list below:
To cleanse
The most important ritual in any body care routine, the best shower routines tick two boxes: a sensory experience for the mind and skin paired with a thorough cleanse.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Cleansing Balm, RM275
Elemis’ new Pro-Collagen Body Balm brings the iconic Pro-Collagen ritual into your shower, transforming your routine into a spa-like indulgence. This concentrated balm-to-milk formulation works to gently and effectively cleanse the skin without stripping the moisture barrier, thanks to the addition of hydrating saccharide isomerate and padina pavonica ferment. Further, starflower, camelina and echium botanicals help to soften and smooth the skin, while the brand’s iconic blend of nine aromatic essential oils envelops your senses.
Sisley Cleansing Hand and Body Balm, RM420
A sensorial product like no other, Sisley’s new Hand and Body Balm is designed to deliver an unmatched cleansing experience. The creamy, opalescent texture of this cleansing balm lathers beautifully, cleansing dirt and grime away to leave the skin soft and silky upon rinsing.
Scented with Sisley’s iconic Eau de Campagne fragrance, a delightful chypre blend of citrus, botanical and woods, this cleansing balm is an elegant addition to any shower.
To treat
The Ordinary 0.5% Body Serum, RM95
Struggling with bacne? It’s time to start treating your body as well as you do your face! This salicylic acid body treatment from The Ordinary targets active breakouts and prevents new ones, combining surface-level exfoliation with pore-clearing lipophilic action to treat your acne.
The serum comes with a nozzle applicator for precision application, allowing you to treat problem areas with ease.
Sephora Collection Body Polish AHA, RM105
Using both chemical and mechanical exfoliation in one sophisticated formulation, this body polish is your single-step routine to smoother, more even skin. Comprised of a 98 percent naturally-derived ingredient base, this double exfoliant is gentle yet effective, suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
Simply work it into your skin as needed, and watch your complexion improve over time!
To moisturise
Fenty Skin Amber Bouquet Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk and Amber Bouquet Butta Drop Body Cream
The latest scent collection to drop under Fenty Skin combines warm floral notes of amber, freesia, sparkling yuzu, and creamy coconut, elevating your everyday body care ritual. Available in the brand’s best-selling Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk (RM165) and Butta Drop Body Cream (RM227), two luxurious body care essentials that hydrate, nourish, and moisturise your body.
The Body Milk is powered by Kalahari melon, baobab, and coconut oils, shea, mango, and cocoa butters, and Barbados cherry extract and vitamin E, formulated to revive dry skin and leave a satin finish. The Butta Drop Body Cream, on the other hand, boosts suppleness and elasticity in the skin with rich butters, seven conditioning essential oils, glycerin, and antioxidant-rich mango butter.
Sol De Janeiro Body Badalada™ Vitamin-Infused Lotion, RM128
If lightweight, 24-hour weight hydration sounds good to you, Sol de Janeiro’s Body Badalada™ Vitamin-Infused Lotion is sure to be a favourite. Scented with the brand’s cult-favourite Cheirosa 62 fragrance, this quick-absorbing body moisturiser works to deeply hydrate without the stickiness of a traditional body lotion.
Plus, it’s infused with active skincare ingredients like glyconic acid-rich Brazilian sugarcane, a multi-weight hyaluronic acid blend, and Brazil nut oil.
La Prairie Cashmere Body Cream, RM1,660
If luxury is what you crave, La Prairie’s Cashmere Body Cream is the body essential you’ve been looking for. Leveraging decades of cellular expertise, the new body care product combines precious cashmere with La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex™, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and shea butter.
This sumptuous texture envelops the skin in nourishment, radiance, and renewal, targeting multiple hydration pathways to restore the skin’s natural suppleness and comfort.
Available at La Prairie counters and boutiques nationwide.
To protect
Augustinus Bader The Solar Shield SPF 50, RM705
No body care routine is complete without a good SPF, and Augustinus Bader’s new body care launch is the perfect solution. Using four clean UV filters, this body sunscreen offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays.
Of course, its formulation is infused with the brand’s famous TFC8 complex to boost cellular renewal, as well as wild rosella extract, osmanthus flower extract, raspberry seed oil, bisabolol, and a radiance complex, all of which help to strengthen the skin barrier, prevent the visible signs of premature ageing, boost the skin’s natural glow and resilience, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun spots and uneven texture.
