Looking for the best organic shower gels to pamper and soothe your skin? Healthista has found some amazing options that not only smell great but are also kind to both the planet and your skin. Whether you’re worried about micro-beads harming the environment or chemicals irritating your skin, there are plenty of reasons to go organic with your shower gel. We’ve tested these products to ensure they deliver performance and aroma.
One of the shower gels we recommend acts like a moisturizer by nourishing, soothing, and protecting your skin. It’s ideal for the delicate skin on your face and hands. According to the Cosmydor website, this gel is rich in glycerin, contains minimal water, and includes a maximum of natural active ingredients without chemical foaming agents or synthetic scents. It has a vibrant, spicy fragrance that’s perfect for a morning boost.
Another great option doubles as an insect repellent. Packaged in eco-friendly sugar cane plastic, this vegan shower gel is perfect for multitaskers. You can use it both as a body wash and shampoo. According to the incognito website, this product, containing organic bergamot and tea tree oil, has antiseptic and antifungal properties that can help with dandruff and even head lice. It has a slightly medicinal smell but is highly effective.
Weleda offers a creamy, natural body wash that moisturizes all over with essential lemon oil for a fresh and lively scent. It’s vegan-friendly and has a zesty, citrus fragrance. Weleda describes it as giving a fresh feeling and uplifting your spirits while moisturizing your skin.
Evolve Organic Beauty features a body wash with natural coconut and sugar extracts that gently clean and maintain the skin’s pH balance while organic Aloe Vera nourishes and calms irritation. It includes three essential oils: blood orange for increased blood flow, cedarwood for a soothing aroma, and black pepper for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The scent is strong yet natural and refreshing.
Feelunique provides a soothing shower gel with rose, lavender, and orange scents. It contains high levels of organic glycerin, making it suitable as a shampoo too. It’s all-natural, organic, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly. Our tester with sensitive skin didn’t experience any irritation, making it a good option for those who usually avoid shower gels.
Urtekram offers a rose-scented shower gel that gives you the feeling of showering in a bed of roses. It uses nurturing aloe vera and glycerine to leave your skin clean and soft. A little goes a long way, making it an economical choice.
Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soaps are multi-functional and can be used for face, body, hair, and even household cleaning. They contain no synthetic preservatives, detergents, or foaming agents. The lavender scent is particularly calming, ideal for evening baths.
Bar soaps are an even more sustainable option than bottled organic gels. They use no plastic or glass packaging and last longer. One variety is a natural moisturizing soap made with coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood, which has a long-lasting, delightful aroma.
Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap combines the calming benefits of lavender with iris and viola extracts to gently clean the skin. Made entirely from vegetable oils and natural plant extracts, it’s great for sensitive skin and provides a classic clean and refreshed feeling.
