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. 

Nosferatu 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. Seal. Three simple rituals for body, mind, and spirit.

This body wash is scented with our Nosferatu fragrance, a partnership with Focus Features and the visionary mind of Robert Eggers. What does the world of the vampire smell like? It's a scent that is also an apparition: otherworldly, straddling a line between this world and the next. 

Cold, pale and pellucid, this fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition. It opens with a clap of thunder and downpour of rain outside Count Orlok's castle. Strikes of lightning fill the air with petrichor and electricity. The damp earth releases a fresh, clean, but ever so musty scent of plant oils and geosmin released from the Carpathian Mountains.

Tangled in the stones of the dark, wet heart chord you will find lilac in a vivid bouquet of cadaverous hues punctuated by inky violet absolute. We are immediately reminded of Nosferatu's heroine Ellen Hutter. This floral accord of ether conjures memories of forgotten innocence and love everlasting, but in a flash and to our horror the purple beauty vanishes, only to appear once more as if back from the dead. The ionine, also known as "the disappearing molecule", from her delicate leaves and stems is elusive and will be revived again and again in fleeting moments. Just then, another complex character drifts onto the scene in the form of vegan ambergris. A paradox to our senses, it reminds us of the salty oceans we long for, where a ship is waiting to take us home. Soft and velvety, the ambergris dances on the skin in a nostalgic waltz that is both delicate and hedonistic. 

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is now available on digital.

Use body wash to anoint wet skin. Lather and rinse. Avoid contact with eyes. 

After bathing, layer with Nosferatu Eau de Macabre .
