From melting away make-up at the end of the day to serving up some serious hydration with your go-to serum and moisturiser, we all know how important it is to stay consistent with our daily skincare routine. But for many of us, when it comes to the skin below the collarbone, that commitment begins to fizzle out.

The reality is that skin is skin. Whether it's on your face, neck, arms, legs or back, it deserves the same care, attention, and TLC. After all, the skin on your body makes up around 90% of your skin's surface and is constantly working as your body's first line of defence, protecting against environmental aggressors while helping to regulate temperature and retain moisture.

At GATINEAU, body care isn't an afterthought - it's a science. We apply decades of skincare expertise to create high-performance formulas that go far beyond basic hydration. Think body lotions that resurface, gradual tans with skincare credentials, hand creams that work as hard as you do, and body washes that treat your skin with the respect it deserves.

 

Each formula is designed to work in harmony, targeting your skin at every step for a complete, head-to-toe skincare experience. And every formula feels as good as it performs, turning your daily routine into a little moment of luxury you’ll look forward to morning and night.

The Body Edit

It all begins with cleansing your body. We are meticulous with facial cleansing, choosing formulas that remove makeup and impurities, excess oil and SPF while respecting the skin barrier. Yet for the body, we often default to a shower gel that smells great but does little else, packed with harsh ingredients that strip rather than support the skin.

Hand and Body Wash – Cleanse, Refresh, Reset.

GATINEAU’s Hand and Body Wash is where luxury meets performance. Available in two beautifully crafted fragrances, Aromatique and Energisante, these silky cleansers transform your daily wash into a sensorial skincare experience.

Enriched with Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil and Vitamin E, each formula gently lathers over the skin, helping to lift away dirt and impurities while leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and comforted after every use. These signature scents are designed to be mood-boosting from the moment you step into the bath or shower. Our Aromatique formula blends uplifting notes of neroli and orange blossom for a fresh, invigorating boost, while our Energisante formula incorporates notes of Geranium, Bergamot and Lavender, creating a harmonised and balanced experience. So, whether you want to awaken the senses or unwind at the end of the day, there’s a fragrance to suit every mood and every moment.

AHA Body Lotion - Where Renewal Meets Hydration

AHA Body Lotion celebrates over three decades of innovation; this is a formula that was truly ahead of its time. Rooted in skin health from the very beginning, it delivers intelligent resurfacing through science-led multi-acid technology, without the need for harsh scrubs or aggressive stripping. At its core is a carefully calibrated blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids – Bilberry, Glycolic, Lemon, Orange, and Sugar Maple – selected not only for their individual benefits but for the way they work together across different layers of the skin.

These acids don’t just resurface and renew the skin – they also help to draw in moisture, supporting hydration for a smoother, more supple finish. The result is skin that feels refined, comforted, and deeply replenished. Plus, it’s supercharged with Hydroviton 24, a moisture-boosting complex that mimics the skin’s own natural moisture actives to deliver up to 24 hours of continuous hydration and improve elasticity. The result is skin that feels replenished, balanced, and comfortable long after application.

Despite its powerful performance, the texture is beautifully featherlight, absorbing instantly so you can get dressed straight away without any waiting around (no sticky situations here). And as it melts effortlessly into the skin, it leaves behind a subtle, delicate fragrance that lingers softly throughout the day. Working in perfect synergy with the Hand and Body Wash, it creates the ideal start to your day, a seamless, feel-good routine that cleanses, hydrates, and layers fragrance from the very first step.

Collagene Expert™ Restore and Protect Hand Cream – Hands That Tell a Better Story

Hands are often one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing and one of the most overlooked in daily skincare routines. Constantly exposed to environmental aggressors like UV, temperature changes, water, and frequent washing, the skin on the hands is thinner and has fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dryness, loss of elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation, and crepiness over time.

In fact, while many people focus on facial skincare, the hands can quietly add years to your overall appearance. They can reveal sun damage, uneven tone, and textural changes that subtly age the skin far beyond the face alone, sometimes adding the visual equivalent of decades if left unprotected.

Enter Collagene Expert™ Restore and Protect Hand Cream: your everyday essential in disguise. Far more than a quick fix, it has been expertly formulated with a Double Collagen complex, Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramide Technology, which work together, helping to replenish moisture, soften the look of lines, improve texture, and keep skin feeling comfortable and cared for throughout the day. And when paired with the Hand & Body Wash, it's the perfect next step. After cleansing, simply massage it into the back of the hands first to lock in hydration and comfort, creating a simple yet effective ritual that keeps hardworking hands looking and feeling their best. Think of it as skincare’s quiet overachiever - always working, never fussing.

Available in both a handbag-friendly tube and a convenient pump format, it's designed to fit seamlessly into your day. Whether it's sitting on your desk, by the sink, or tucked away in your bag, keeping hands soft, smooth, and hydrated has never been easier. No stickiness, no excuses. Because while hands may be small, they’re impossible to ignore, and with the right care, they can look every bit as youthful, smooth, and polished as the rest of your skin.

Golden Glow Gradual Tan - Build Your Perfect Bronze

On the days you want that sun-kissed glow, simply set your AHA Body Lotion aside and reach for Golden Glow Gradual Tan instead. When skincare experts do tanning, the results are always a step above, and this one is no exception. This clever, colourless, and odourless formula is infused with skin-loving ingredients like Coconut Oil and Vitamin E, so while it builds your glow, it’s also caring for your skin. The result is a beautifully customisable tan you’re fully in control of.

Developing in just 4 to 6 hours, it allows you to build and deepen your glow over two or three days until you reach your perfect shade, then maintain it effortlessly alongside your AHA Body Lotion for smooth, radiant-looking skin all year round. What makes it especially easy to love is how effortless it feels to use.

The fast-absorbing cream-gel texture melts in like a body moisturiser, developing into a natural-looking, streak-free tan with none of the tell-tale transfer drama on clothes or sheets. And because the colour builds gradually and fades evenly, it’s ideal whether you’re a seasoned self-tanner or simply want a low-maintenance way to boost radiance. Think sunshine in a bottle, not a leap of faith - just believable, buildable colour wrapped up in skin-loving hydration.

Results-driven, sensorial, and anything but ordinary. GATINEAU body care proves that treating your body's skin with the same attention as your face isn't a luxury; it's a necessity, and there's no excuse for giving this area second place.
