Whether cleansing, nourishing, or moisturizing, each product is designed to care for the skin while inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. This body wash is made with our proprietary Häxan fragrance. It’s a safe & gentle formula that uses plant-based cleansing ingredients that are a great alternative to the harsh surfactants found in many cleansers. These naturally-derived ingredients create a rich lather while moisturizing the skin.
PLANT-DERIVED CLEANSING SYSTEM: A blend of coconut-derived cleansers creates a luxurious lather while respecting the skin's natural moisture balance.
GLYCERIN: A naturally occurring humectant that helps attract moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable after cleansing.

A body wash should do more than cleanse. It should mark the beginning of the ritual, the moment where the day is rinsed away, the senses awaken, and the skin is prepared to receive fragrance.
Häxan Body Wash is a gentle, sulfate-free blend that transforms the everyday shower into a fragrant ritual. This plant-derived cleansing system purifies without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Coconut-derived cleansers create a rich, silky lather that leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and comfortably balanced, while vegetable-derived glycerin helps draw moisture to the skin, maintaining hydration long after you've stepped out of the shower. As warm water releases Heretic's naturally derived fragrance, cleansing becomes less of a routine and more of a moment to reconnect with yourself.
Rather than overwhelming the formula with unnecessary ingredients, we've chosen a thoughtful composition that allows what matters most to take center stage: exceptional fragrance and healthy-looking skin. The result is a cleanser that rinses clean, leaving behind only softness and the lingering trace of scent.
For the body, it is gentle purification. For the mind, a moment to begin again. For the spirit, the quiet reminder that every ritual starts with water.

At Heretic, we believe caring for the body should be as transporting as wearing fragrance. These body washes, lotions, and oils were designed to transform daily routines into moments of ritual.
Cleanse. Anoint. Protect. Three simple rituals for body, mind, and spirit.
This body lotion is scented with our Häxan fragrance, a potion of spellwork and shadow. Häxan (HEK-sen): Swedish for "The Witch", is a magical elixir conjured from roots, resins, and relics. Fossilized amber, velvety osmanthus, and damp oakmoss create a fragrance of sacred groves, druid stones, and smoldering altars. This is not adornment, it is alchemy.
Use Häxan body wash to connect to power. With its extracts of osmanthus, rose, and fiery amber, this ritual wash is meant to awaken the intuition and strength that already live within.
Apply to wet skin. Lather and rinse. Avoid contact with eyes. After bathing, layer with Häxan Lotion or Häxan Body Oil, then spritz with Häxan EDP.

NOCTURNAL RITUALS
BODY CARE FOR WITCHES
The witch represents botanical wisdom, intuition, and the courage to belong completely to yourself. Long before the beauty industry, caring for the body was an act of intention. Herbs, oils, water, and fragrance were used not to perfect the body, but to honor it. The witch understood the body not as a project, but as the vessel through which every mystery is experienced.
The beauty industry teaches transformation through correction. The witch teaches transformation through ritual. As the day fades, the senses awaken and we return to ourselves. We believe that these quiet hours of night is when ritual becomes most powerful.
