Nécessaire first launched in the US way back in 2018 and it has taken four years - yes, four full years - for the cult body care brand to make its way to UK shores. And today is the day. The Nécessaire range is now available to shop exclusively at Space NK and there's good reason to be excited.
If the brand name and that achingly chic packaging are ringing bells for you it's likely because of Nécessaire's impressive social media sway. Since its launch the brand's products have appeared on countless TikToks, Instagram posts and Reels the world over. It's hard to miss a viral beauty buy.
Nécessaire stands out from the crowd because the products look streamlined and stylish and skin tech behind them is clean and smart.
Nécessaire's aim has always been to disrupt the body care industry, to enable people to care for the skin on their body with just as much thought and product quality as they would the skin on their face. There's a hypoallergenic body serum, for example, that provides multi-level hydration with five different molecular types of hyaluronic acid - an ingredient renowned for its ability to hold on to moisture. That's a serious step up from your average body lotion.
The range caters to sensitive skin too, offering fragrance free versions of their formulas.
It's worth nothing, too, that Nécessaire also have pretty solid eco credentials: they are certified carbon and plastic neutral and are completely transparent about the sources of their packaging and wider carbon footprint. You can read more about their various sustainability commitments here.

1 of 5Nécessaire The Body Wash Eucalyptus, £25
The body wash that started it all. Nécessaire's Eucalyptus scented Body Wash takes the sort of ingredients that you're more used to finding in skincare for your face - think niacinamides, vitamins C, E and omegas - and serves them up to the skin on your body. The eucalyptus scent makes your bathroom smell like a spa but for the the fragrance-averse, there is also a scent-free version.
2 of 5Nécessaire The Body Exfoliator Eucalyptus, £30
Love a traditional body scrub? Meet Nécessaire's iteration. This exfoliator combines bamboo charcoal with chemical exfoliants like lactic and glycolic acid in a formula that sloughs away dead skin gently. It's a great buy for those who suffer with keratosis pilaris - those little red bumps often found at the tops of your arms. And yes, there's a fragrance-free version of this one on offer too.
3 of 5Nécessaire The Body Lotion, £28
Lightweight and hydrating, this body moisturiser contains an impressive range of ingredients like niacinamide and vitamins C and E to brighten and nurture skin, as well as hydrate it.
4 of 5Nécessaire The Body Serum, £45
Body serum, you say? Yes, and this one is genius. It contains five different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, which takes the moisture-retaining ingredient to multiple levels in your skin, not just its surface.
5 of 5Nécessaire The Body Oil, £40
Nécessaire's body oil is packed with omegas and vitamins that work hard to strengthen your skin's barrier.
