Looking for the best organic shower gels that pamper and soothe your skin? Healthista has picked out the top ones that not only smell amazing but are also kind to both your skin and the planet.
If you’re concerned about micro-beads damaging the environment or harsh chemicals affecting your skin, switching to organic shower gels offers those benefits and more. Our selected options provide great performance and delightful fragrances – we’ve tested them all to ensure quality.
The first shower gel in our list is more like a moisturizer as it nourishes, soothes, and protects the skin, especially the delicate areas like the face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin, doesn’t contain chemical foaming agents or synthetic fragrances, and has a spicy scent from the natural plant ingredients.
Another option doubles as an insect repellent with an eco-friendly bottle made from sugar cane plastic, and the formula is registered as vegan. It can be used as both a body wash and a shampoo. The organic bergamot and tea tree oil in it offer antiseptic and anti-fungal properties, helping to keep dandruff and head lice at bay, though the scent is a bit antiseptic.
Weleda offers a creamy body wash with essential lemon oil that gives a bright, lively scent. This vegan-friendly product has a zesty citrus fragrance that immediately uplifts your spirits. It’s super creamy, moisturizing, and refreshing on the skin.
Evolve Organic Beauty’s body wash features natural coconut and sugar extracts that help maintain the skin’s natural pH balance, with organic aloe vera to nourish and soothe irritations. It delivers a zesty and fresh sensation with essential oils like blood orange for improved blood flow, cedarwood for a soothing aroma, and black pepper for antibacterial benefits.
Feelunique provides a soothing shower gel with traces of rose, lavender, and orange scents. It contains high levels of organic glycerin which softens the skin and can even be used as a shampoo. It’s all-natural, organic, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly. Ideal for sensitive skin, it doesn’t trigger eczema.
Urtekram’s shower gel will make you feel like you’re in a bed of roses. It contains nurturing aloe vera and glycerin which clean and soften the skin. It’s economical as you only need a small amount to lather your whole body and has a lovely natural scent.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are versatile, suitable for almost any cleaning task from personal care to household cleaning. The gel contains no synthetic preservatives or detergents, and the lavender scent is great for relaxation.
For a more sustainable option, bar soaps are a good choice as they don’t come in plastic or glass packaging and usually last longer. A natural moisturizing bar soap with coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood essential oils can cleanse and leave a lingering, delightful scent on the skin.
Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap is full of calming lavender benefits with a strong, distinct scent. Made from vegetable oils and natural plant extracts, it gently cleanses the skin and works well for sensitive skin types.
