Looking for the best organic shower gels to treat your skin right while also being gentle on the planet? We’ve gathered a selection that smells wonderful and is kind to both your skin and the environment. Whether you’re concerned about micro-beads harming the planet or harsh chemicals and perfumes affecting your skin, going organic with your shower gel offers multiple benefits. We’ve tested each product to ensure they deliver both performance and fantastic fragrance.
One shower gel on our list acts like a moisturizer, nourishing, soothing, and protecting the skin. It’s especially gentle for the delicate skin on your face and hands. It contains plenty of glycerin and is packed with natural active ingredients without any synthetic foaming agents or fragrances. The result is a spicy, plant-rich scent that will invigorate your morning routine.
Another option doubles as an insect repellent and uses environmentally friendly sugar cane plastic for its bottle. Registered as vegan, this 2-in-1 shower gel can also replace your shampoo. It features antiseptic and antifungal properties from organic bergamot and tea tree oil, helping to keep dandruff and head lice away, with a slightly antiseptic smell.
Weleda’s product is described as a creamy natural body wash that moisturizes all over, with a bright, zesty lemon scent. This vegan-friendly gel is super creamy, refreshing, and gives your skin a lively, fresh fragrance.
Evolve Organic Beauty offers a shower gel with natural coconut and sugar extracts to gently cleanse and maintain your skin’s natural pH balance, while organic aloe vera calms irritation. It includes blood orange, cedarwood, and black pepper essential oils for a fresh, invigorating experience that smells amazing.
Feelunique’s shower gel, with notes of rose, lavender, and orange, combines a soothing fragrance with high levels of organic glycerin, making your skin soft and shiny. It’s pure enough to eat (though we don’t recommend it), paraben-free, and safe for sensitive skin.
Urtekram’s rose-infused shower gel is perfect for rose lovers. It makes your skin clean and soft with nurturing aloe vera and glycerine, requiring only a small amount to lather up, making it economical.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soap is versatile for cleaning just about anything, from your body and hair to dishes and pets. Free from synthetic preservatives and foaming agents, it comes in a calming lavender scent, ideal for a relaxing pre-bedtime wash.
Bar soaps are another eco-friendly alternative. They use no plastic or glass packaging and tend to last longer. A natural moisturizing soap with coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood aromatherapy oils makes your skin smell great long after your shower.
Lastly, Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap combines lavender essential oil with iris and viola extracts for a calming, clean experience, suitable for sensitive skin.
These organic shower gels and soaps not only pamper and cleanse your skin but also help you make environmentally conscious choices.
