This shower gel is designed to be similar to a moisturizer—it nourishes, soothes, and protects the skin, ideal for the delicate areas of the face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin and packed with natural active ingredients, without chemical foaming agents or synthetic fragrances. The spicy, plant-packed scent is perfect for an invigorating morning routine.
Another option, doubling as an insect repellent, is packaged in eco-friendly sugar cane plastic and is vegan. It’s a versatile 2-in-1 product that works as both a body wash and shampoo. It contains organic bergamot and tea tree oil, which offer antiseptic and anti-fungal benefits, helping to combat dandruff and even head lice, though the scent can be somewhat antiseptic.
Weleda offers a creamy, natural body wash that moisturizes all over with essential lemon oil for a fresh, lively scent. Vegan-friendly, it invigorates the senses and cleanses the skin with a creamy texture that leaves you feeling refreshed and moisturized.
Evolve Organic Beauty presents a body wash with natural coconut and sugar extracts to cleanse and maintain your skin’s natural pH balance, along with organic Aloe Vera to soothe irritation.

Feelunique’s shower gel combines rose, lavender, and orange aromas and is gentle enough to be used as a shampoo thanks to its high organic glycerin content.

Urtekram’s shower gel envelops you in the scent of roses. Made with nurturing aloe vera and glycerine, it makes your skin feel clean and soft. It’s also economical since a small amount goes a long way, providing a luxurious lather without waste.

Although not gels, bar soaps are more sustainable than their bottled counterparts. They have no plastic packaging and tend to last longer. One such soap is a natural moisturizing bar using coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood aromatherapy oils. It has a delightful scent that lingers on the skin long after the shower.
