Are you on the hunt for the best organic shower gels that both pamper your skin and are kind to the planet? We’ve rounded up some great picks that smell amazing and are gentle on your skin and the environment.
If you’re concerned about microbeads or harsh chemicals, going organic with your shower gel has even more perks. These selections not only perform well but also leave you smelling wonderful.
First up, we have a shower gel that acts like a moisturizer, nourishing and protecting your skin, and is perfect for the delicate skin on your face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin, packed with natural ingredients, and free of synthetic foaming agents and fragrances. Its spicy, plant-based scent is sure to kickstart your day.
Next is a multi-tasking shower gel that also works as an insect repellent. Packaged in eco-friendly sugar cane plastic and registered as vegan, it doubles as a shampoo. Infused with organic bergamot and tea tree oil, it boasts antiseptic and antifungal properties, tackling dandruff and even head lice. Though the scent is somewhat medicinal, it’s quite effective.
Another great option is a creamy natural body wash with essential lemon oil for a refreshing, lively fragrance. This vegan product not only cleanses but also moisturizes, leaving your skin fresh and your spirits lifted.
For something with a zesty kick, try a body wash with natural coconut and sugar extracts that help maintain your skin’s pH balance. Enriched with organic aloe vera to soothe your skin, it also contains blood orange for improved blood circulation, cedarwood for a calming aroma, and black pepper with antibacterial properties. It’s a treat for your senses and skin.
If your skin is sensitive, there’s a shower gel with rose, lavender, and orange scents, high in organic glycerin, which is excellent for skin and can also serve as a shampoo. It’s so pure it’s safe to consume (though we wouldn’t recommend it), free from parabens and vegan-friendly. Our tester with sensitive skin had no eczema flare-ups, which is a big plus.
For a luxurious experience, try a shower gel that makes you feel like you’re bathing in a bed of roses. With nurturing aloe vera and glycerin, it leaves your skin soft and clean. It’s natural and smells wonderful, requiring only a small amount to lather up the entire body, making it economical too.
Finally, Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soap is a versatile pick, suitable for everything from washing your face, body, and hair to cleaning your house and even your pets. It contains no synthetic preservatives or foaming agents. Its lavender scent is perfect for a calming end-of-the-day bath.
If you prefer bar soaps, they are an even more sustainable option. These bars, free from plastic packaging, typically last longer and have great benefits. For instance, a natural moisturizing soap made with coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood oils smells amazing and leaves a lingering aroma on your skin. Another good option is Weleda Lavender Bar Soap, packed with lavender’s calming benefits and free from synthetic ingredients. It’s perfect for sensitive skin.
Switching to organic shower gels and soaps can be a refreshing change for your skin and the planet. Happy showering!
