No.9 Shangri-La Lavender & Orange Goat Milk Body Lotion captures the botanical character of Ojai in a silky, everyday moisturizer. Fresh goat milk, organic coconut oil, black cumin seed oil, and lightweight emollients help soften dry-feeling skin, while Lavender, Orange, Rosemary, Sage, and Holy Basil create a beautifully layered herbal-floral aroma.
Lavender brings its familiar soft floral character, brightened by the warmth of Orange and balanced with garden-fresh Rosemary, earthy Sage, and aromatic Holy Basil. Inspired by Ojai's lavender gardens, citrus groves, and sunlit mountain landscape, Shangri-La turns daily moisturizing into a sensory experience rooted in a real place.
Unlike a heavy body butter, this fast-absorbing goat milk lotion is designed to spread smoothly, replenish moisture, and leave skin feeling supple without an excessively greasy finish. It is a thoughtful choice for everyday body care, particularly after bathing or whenever skin needs additional comfort.
Lavender & Orange: An Herbal-Floral Body Lotion
The aromatic identity of Shangri-La begins with Lavender and Orange essential oils. Lavender contributes a gentle floral-herbal note, while Orange adds a bright citrus warmth that makes the composition feel fresh rather than overly sweet.
Rosemary, Sage, and Holy Basil deepen the blend with green, aromatic character reminiscent of a California herb garden. Together, these botanicals create a sophisticated fragrance that feels both familiar and distinctive.
The aroma is produced with genuine botanical essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance oils. For those drawn to botanical aromatherapy, Shangri-La offers the pleasure of a naturally layered scent as part of a simple daily moisturizing routine.
A Garden-Inspired Botanical Aroma
Soft Lavender, sunlit Orange, Rosemary, Sage, and Holy Basil give Shangri-La its signature herbal-floral character, inspired by the aromatic plants and citrus groves of the Ojai Valley.
Fresh Goat Milk for Soft, Comfortable Skin
Goat milk has been part of Bogue's skincare tradition for generations. In Shangri-La Body Lotion, fresh goat milk contributes naturally occurring milk fats, proteins, sugars, and other constituents to a formula developed for everyday skin conditioning.
Because lotion remains on the skin rather than being rinsed away, the balance between hydration, emollient richness, and absorption becomes especially important. No.9 is formulated to leave dry-feeling skin softer and more comfortable while maintaining a lightweight, silky finish.
Apply after bathing, when skin is freshly cleansed, or throughout the day to replenish moisture on arms, legs, hands, and other areas needing additional care.
Goat Milk Beyond the Soap Bar
Our Farm to Bath approach extends from handcrafted goat milk soap to leave-on botanical body care, with fresh goat milk remaining central to the formulation philosophy.
Organic Coconut Oil, Black Cumin Seed Oil & Silky Emollients
The moisturizing character of Shangri-La comes from more than goat milk alone. Organic coconut oil contributes emollient richness, while black cumin seed oil, derived from Nigella sativa, provides naturally occurring fatty acids valued for helping skin feel smooth and conditioned.
Caprylic/capric triglycerides contribute lightweight slip and spreadability, helping the lotion glide over skin and leave a smooth finish. Together, these ingredients complement the goat milk and support a comfortable moisture-conditioned feel.
This combination is especially useful for people who want a botanical body moisturizer that can be applied regularly without the dense, waxy feel of a balm.
Why Ojai Inspired the Name Shangri-La
Shangri-La takes its name from the fictional paradise in Lost Horizon, a story closely associated with Ojai's reputation as a place of natural beauty and retreat. The valley's surrounding mountains, citrus groves, gardens, and distinctive evening light have long shaped its character.
For Bogue, the name is more than an evocative fragrance description. It connects the herbal-floral blend to the landscape where our family has been making botanical skincare since 1973.
Lavender, Orange, Rosemary, Sage, and Holy Basil express that inspiration through scent: a garden-like composition that feels at home in the Ojai Valley.
Inspired by Ojai, Handcrafted in Small Batches
Shangri-La continues Bogue's third-generation family tradition of creating botanical bath and body products in Ojai, California. Fresh goat milk, carefully chosen plant oils, and genuine essential oils reflect a formulation approach developed through decades of hands-on experience.
A Simple Lavender Body-Care Ritual
Shangri-La is designed to fit naturally into everyday life. After a shower, massage the lotion into clean skin, paying particular attention to areas that tend to feel dry. Its silky texture makes it equally enjoyable as a morning moisturizer or an evening body-care ritual.
For a coordinated cleansing and moisturizing routine, pair the lotion with a handcrafted goat milk soap. Explore the benefits of goat milk soap to learn how fresh milk, plant oils, and traditional cold-process soapmaking contribute to Bogue's approach to daily cleansing.
No.9 Shangri-La Goat Milk Body Lotion brings together lavender-and-orange botanical aromatics, fresh goat milk, nourishing plant oils, and a genuine Ojai heritage story in one everyday moisturizer.
