For years, skincare was marketed almost exclusively to women. Men were given a bar of soap, a 3-in-1 body wash, and told that was enough. That era is over. Today, men are investing in grooming, fragrance, wellness, and self care - and the most important on that list? Body care.
The body is 90% of your skin surface area. If you neglect it, expect dry, flakey, aged skin, fragrance that doesn't hold and ingrown hairs. These aren’t aesthetic issues alone, they’re signs of barrier disruption and dehydration.
Hydrated skin doesn’t just look better. It:
-
Holds fragrance longer;
-
Feels smoother and firmer;
-
Improves the appearance of ageing;
-
Supports long-term skin health;
- And even makes tattoos look fresher and darker.
A Body Oil That Offers Scent & Hydration
Modern masculinity isn’t about doing less - it’s about doing it better. Unlike alcohol-based fragrances or products that are loaded with ingredients that don't benefit the skin, our Body Oils lock in deep hydration, significantly enhance scent projection and over time, improve the appearance of ageing.
At RAIA, we didn’t create men’s skincare. We created skin-first fragrance for the entire body. It’s efficient. It's elevated. It's Intentional.
Our oils are rich in naturally occurring vitamins A, B & E and omega fatty acids - supporting skin barrier function while allowing scent molecules to bind to your skin for longer-lasting scent and enhanced projection.
And the results speak for themselves. Kai Body Oil (inspired by Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim) is our best-selling scent and it’s unapologetically masculine, lightweight and absorbs seamlessly into the skin without any sticky residue.
Kai’s success reflects a broader cultural shift. Men want to smell distinctive from head to toe. They want longevity without alcohol and they want products that perform.
The Rise of the Unisex Movement
Masculinity doesn’t have to mean limiting yourself to “for him” labels. Our unisex scents Akira and Aire have also become favourites among men who appreciate nuance.
Akira Body Oil (Inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540) opens warm and slightly sweet, then settles into a rich, woody-amber skin scent that feels powerful without being loud.
Aire Body Oil (Inspired by Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim) is a fresh luxurious scent. Bright at first, then smooth and musky as it dries down. It smells like freshly showered skin, clean citrus with an oriental twist.
Something New Coming...
And for those who prefer something sharper, fresher and undeniably powerful, Axel is coming.
Inspired by the iconic Creed Aventus cologne, Axel is bold yet refined. It opens with crisp citrus, then settles into smooth woods with a clean, masculine edge. Axel embodies fresh haircuts, ocean swims, tailored jackets, and old money.
The Verdict
Body care isn’t feminine. Hydrated skin isn't high-maintenance. And smelling incredible from head to toe isn’t optional.
