The shower step that actually conditions your skin — not just washes it. amika Shower Thoughts Soft + Silky Body Wash is a clinically proven body wash built on a nutrient-dense foundation of hydrating Glycerin, gentle fruit AHAs (Mango, Banana, and Cajá Plum pulp extracts + Bromelain), and amika's signature Tibetan Sea Buckthorn Oil, designed to cleanse and soften skin simultaneously rather than leaving it tight and stripped after rinsing. The sulfate-free surfactant system (Cocamidopropyl Betaine + Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate + Decyl Glucoside) lathers richly without the drying mechanism of traditional sulfates; Glycerin locks in hydration during cleansing so the skin barrier stays intact; and the fruit AHA complex buffs away surface dullness so skin looks smoother and glowier immediately after stepping out of the shower. Clinically proven to instantly soften skin after just one use.
What It Is
A clinically proven body wash that softens skin in just one shower.* Sulfate-free surfactants (Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Decyl Glucoside) lather richly without stripping. Glycerin locks in hydration. Fruit AHAs (Mango, Banana, Cajá Plum + Bromelain) buff away dullness. Sea Buckthorn nourishes. Gentle enough for daily use. Contains AHAs — use SPF afterwards.
Key Benefits
- Clinically proven to instantly soften skin in just one shower* — Glycerin (the first ingredient, indicating a high concentration) acts as a humectant that draws moisture into the skin during cleansing and holds it there through rinsing, so the skin barrier stays hydrated rather than tight.
- Fruit AHA complex (Mango, Banana, Cajá Plum pulp extracts + Bromelain) gently removes the dead skin cell buildup that makes skin look dull and feel rough — plant-derived fruit acids work at a lower pH than synthetic AHAs, delivering gentle but effective exfoliation that is appropriate for daily use.
- Sulfate-free surfactant system lathers luxuriously without the stripping mechanism of SLS or SLES — Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (a coconut-derived anionic surfactant) produces a dense, creamy foam that cleanses effectively while its mildness preserves the skin's natural lipid layer, leaving skin soft.
