Fenty Skin is relaunching Vanilla Dream and Cacao at Sephora: this indulgent duo redefines body and lip care in 2026
Fenty Skin is reintroducing two indulgent scents, Vanilla Dream and Cacao, featured in four body and lip care products. Behind this relaunch lies a precise formulation strategy, where fragrance, texture, and hydration work in harmony. What this season reveals goes beyond a simple restock.
A company built on the joy of self-care
The brand was founded by Rihanna in partnership with Kendo Brands, a beauty incubator owned by LVMH. Fenty Beauty was launched in 2017, Fenty Skin in 2020, Fenty Eau de Parfum in 2021, and Fenty Hair in 2024, according to information provided by the brand. Thus, the portfolio was built on a simple idea: to expand access to high-performance skincare without sacrificing the pleasure of use.
Sensory experience is not just an added bonus in this approach. It is sometimes the very reason behind the action. Furthermore, Fenty Skin has always focused on this ability to make skincare less abstract and more immediate.
This season, the brand is reintroducing two indulgent fragrances. Vanilla Dream and Cacao are back in body and lip products, in formulas designed for everyday use.
Four products, two scents, specific prices
Vanilla Dream, launched in January 2023, combines vanilla, pink sugar, and coconut. The scent is featured in two body care products: Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream for 42 euros and Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk for 35 euros.
Cacao, which was first released as a limited edition for the 2025 holiday season, is back on the lips. It comes in two products: Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask for 23.50 euros and Fenty Treatz Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil for 24.90 euros. All four products are available at Sephora and on Sephora.fr.
“In a bathroom, loyalty often begins right there—with a scent you recognize even before you open the jar.”
Well-thought-out plans, not empty promises
Butta Drop body cream is based on a formula containing nearly 25% rich butters and seven oils: Kalahari melon, sorrel, baobab, sunflower, rice bran, coconut, and jojoba. Shea butter nourishes the skin and helps maintain its moisture barrier. Mango butter provides antioxidants, and glycerin helps retain moisture in the skin’s outer layer.
The claimed result is not a dramatic transformation, but a satin finish without a sticky feel. The texture melts quickly upon contact with the skin. As a result, this product is suitable for both dry and normal skin types seeking daily care.
The body lotion captures the essence of the cream in a lighter, more fluid formula. Its formula combines Kalahari melon, baobab, and coconut oils; shea, mango, and cocoa butters; Barbados cherry extract; and vitamin E. The difference lies in the application: one pump, faster absorption, and an almost automatic routine.
- Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream – 25% rich butters, 7 oils, satin finish – 42 euros
- Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk —lightweight formula, absorbs quickly, convenient pump—35 euros
- Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask – coconut and castor oils, pomegranate sterols, vitamin E – 23.50 euros
- Fenty Treatz Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil —cocoa extract, jojoba oil, and rosehip oil—24.90 euros
- All four products are available at Sephora and on Sephora.fr
Lips: A Skincare Focus in Their Own Right
When applied to the lips, Cacao takes indulgence to a more restorative level. Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask combines coconut and castor oils, a complex of pomegranate and jojoba oils, pomegranate sterols, acerola extract, and vitamin E. The brand promises a smoother texture and visibly reduced fine lines in just one week.
The formula is well-balanced: occlusive oils, antioxidants, comfort-enhancing active ingredients, and support for the skin’s moisture barrier. While the product claims should be taken with the usual skepticism typical of any cosmetic claim, the chosen ingredients are a step in the right direction.
In contrast, Fenty Treatz Hydrating Strengthening Lip Oil takes a different approach. It combines cocoa extract, jojoba and rosehip seed oils, sweet cherry seed oil, and acerola and wild cherry extracts. The product falls somewhere between skincare and lip gloss, in that category of hybrid products that fit into a routine without the formality of a treatment.
Packaging that’s evolving, with no revolution in sight
Fenty Skin backs up these claims with specific commitments printed on the packaging. The boxes are made from FSC-certified material and are recyclable according to local regulations. The body cream jar is made from 30% recycled materials. The body lotion pump is made from 50% recycled materials, and the lip mask jar is advertised as being made from 100% recycled materials.
The narrative remains one of gradual improvement, not an ecological revolution. This is undoubtedly where precision matters: from now on, a product’s beauty and desirability no longer exempt it from accounting for its materials and end-of-life considerations.
Consequently, the return of Vanilla Dream and Cacao signals a broader shift. The skin is no longer merely treated; it is showcased through texture and scent. Gourmand scents are making a comeback in a more refined form—less sweet in intent than in memory. A skincare product must work, of course, but it must also make you want to use it again—and that is precisely what Fenty Skin aims to achieve with these four products.
