Reviewed: Salt & Stone’s Most Haul-Worthy Products, According to Picky Beauty Editors

Pros: Hydrating formula, evens skin tone, comes in six chic scents

Cons: Nothing of note

Key ingredients: Vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid | Key notes: Italian bergamot, hinoki, eucalyptus

If there was one product my fellow editors and I would recommend you pick up from Salt & Stone today, it’s the body wash. Whether you prefer the woody comfort of Saffron and Cedar (senior beauty editor Jamie Chevron’s personal pick) or the bright, citrus complexity of Bergamot and Hinoki (my shower staple), you’re sure to step out of the shower with hydrated skin and the subtle remnants of a sophisticated scent. A nourishing mixture of ingredients—including prebiotics, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide—balances your skin’s microbiome while evening your skin tone and fortifying the barrier. This shower gel reminds us it’s the little things that make life feel luxurious.

Customer review: “I absolutely LOVE this product! It lathers so thick and rich. The scent fills the room and clings to your skin. I feel so special wearing this every day.”

Pros: Actually works, doesn’t leave a white cast, aluminum-free

Cons: Pricey for a deodorant

Key ingredients: Seaweed extract, niacinamide, prebiotics | Key notes: Australian sandalwood, amber, cedar, vetiver

If natural deodorants like this aluminum-free pick from Salt & Stone make you cringe when you think of sweaty workout classes, European summers, or the recent NYC heatwave, I don’t blame you. However, I can testify that this particular blend—made with prebiotics to neutralize body odor and a resilient formula that offers extra-strength protection—keeps nose-crinkling aromas at bay. Seaweed extract and niacinamide work together to smooth and moisturize the skin, while notes of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver replace natural odors with something sleek and attractive.

Customer review: “I enjoyed this deodorant, and I felt like it held up well in this brutal summer heat we have been having. The scent is a bit more masculine to me, with warm notes of sandalwood, cardamom, amber, and more; it’s slightly earthy. The deodorant is aluminum-free, which is a huge benefit for me, and it did not leave stains or white marks on my clothing. I love that they included probiotics and hyaluronic acid.”

Pros: Deeply hydrating, absorbs quickly, doesn’t transfer

Cons: Some shoppers may prefer a lighter formula for everyday use

Key ingredients: Seaweed extract, spirulina, squalane, argan oil | Key notes: Saffron, neroli, jasmine, cedarwood

Nothing feels quite as luxe as slathering on a rich moisturizer after a fresh shave, and Salt & Stone’s Saffron and Cedar Body Cream is my go-to during my wind-down routine. The formula is pillowy and thick from the first swipe, but it’s nearly effortless to blend into the skin. Its intensely hydrating makeup consists of seaweed extract, spirulina, squalane, and more to restore moisture to the skin’s barrier while also promoting skin elasticity. Though it’s a richer formula, the cream never leaves a film or deposits residue onto your sheets—a major pet peeve of mine when it concerns most body creams, aside from this one.

Customer review: “Rich body cream that absorbs well and smells divine—love it!”

Pros: Infused with skincare ingredients, intensifies scent of beloved products, great value for the price

Cons: Not as long lasting as an eau de parfum

Key ingredients: Glycerin, red algae | Key notes: Bergamot, orange blossom, hinoki woods

Though Salt & Stone’s formulas are remarkable, it’s hard to deny the appeal of the brand’s lush fragrances. Each formula is so delectably scented that shoppers buy several versions of the same product just to have options—Bergamot and Hinoki shower gel for a morning rush, Saffron and Cedar for a soothing wind-down experience. If you’re a fan of a singular scent and wish you could douse yourself in it without having to lather up in soap or lotion every time, you’re in luck, because the brand’s fragrance mists offer that and then some. In addition to the stunning scents you know and love, the fine mist is infused with moisturizing glycerin and red algae for softer, smoother hair and skin. Just prepare to have to reapply throughout the day, as this mist doesn’t have the most staying power.

Customer review: “This is my absolute favorite scent! I get compliments all the time [about] how fresh I smell. The trick to a long lasting scent is [to] spray it on your pulse points then use the moisturizer and body oil on top, as well as on your clothes.”

Pros: Absorbs quickly, doesn’t make hands feel greasy, imparts long-lasting scent

Cons: Honestly, none

Key ingredients: Squalane, snow mushroom, seaweed extracts, niacinamide | Key notes: Neroli, Italian bergamot, basil, cypress, eucalyptus

One thing us beauty editors find incredibly chic is having a sleek hand cream in every purse, and this hand cream from Salt & Stone is one of our favorites to pull from our bags. This absorbent hand cream douses the skin in a rich mixture of seaweed extracts and hydrating botanicals to impart your digits with soft, supple skin minus the grease. Beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock personally recommends the Neroli and Basil scent for its fresh and bright citrus notes. “I have it in my bag right now!” she tells me excitedly.

Customer review: “Love this hand cream. It’s got a wonderful texture and quick absorption — with no greasy aftereffects. And the fragrance is to die for!”

Pros: Preserves moisture from body lotion, prolongs lifespan of your scent, nourishing formula

Cons: Slightly expensive (but a great value for the price)

Key ingredients: Seaweed extract, squalane, macadamia oil, vitamin E | Key notes: Sandalwood, amber, cedar, violet leaves

Whether you’re sealing in your moisturizer or emphasizing your scent of the day, Salt & Stone’s body oil is worth adding to your cart—specifically in the brand’s iconic Santal and Vetiver scent. Like most of the brand’s products, the moisturizing formula is infused with seaweed extracts and nourishing squalane to lock hydration and scent onto the skin. Each drop leaves your skin feeling supple and keeps fragrance alive on your skin for hours on end.

Customer review: “This oil has been my new everyday go-to moisturizer. I stopped using lotions a while back and always end up getting random body oils for full body moisturizing, but now I no longer have to worry about where I will find my next bottle! This product goes on smooth, absorbs into my skin nicely, and goes a long way, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and smelling amazing. The Santal + Vetiver is definitely top tier for scent, I get tons of compliments on it all of the time. I will definitely be continuing to use this product!”
