RITUALS is a Dutch beauty and wellbeing brand known for luxurious yet everyday body care, scented rituals, shower products, body creams, lotions, scrubs, oils, body fragrances, skincare, hair care and relaxing self-care products. The brand philosophy is based on turning simple daily moments, such as showering, body care or evening relaxation, into a small ritual for body and mind.
Rituals products are most often chosen when the goal is a combination of skin care, pleasant fragrance, softness, relaxation and a spa-like feeling at home. The brand is recognized for collections such as The Ritual of Sakura, Ayurveda, Jing, Karma, Hammam, Mehr and Homme, combining fragrance notes, textures and body care routines into a complete ritual.
How to choose a RITUALS product?
The choice depends on whether you need an everyday shower product, body moisturizer, scrub, body oil, body mist, deodorant, face care, hair care or gift set. In sensitive skin, atopic dermatitis, eczema, fragrance allergy or irritation-prone skin, scented products should be introduced gradually and tested on a small skin area first.

Rituals body routine
A simple Rituals routine can start with scented shower foam or shower gel, followed by a body scrub 1–2 times weekly, then body cream or body lotion, and finally body mist. For a stronger fragrance effect, products from the same collection are usually combined, while sensitive skin types should use fewer scented layers.
Pharmacist advice
Rituals products are primarily scented cosmetic body care products, so the choice should match skin type and fragrance tolerance. For dry skin, milder shower products, body creams, lotions and body oils are better, while scrubs should not be overused. If you have atopic dermatitis, eczema, fragrance allergy, freshly shaved skin or irritation, apply scented products carefully and test them on a small area first. Body products do not replace dermatological therapy, SPF protection or medical skin care when active inflammation, wounds, severe itching or rash are present.
