Looking for the best organic shower gels to pamper and soothe your skin? We’ve rounded up some that smell great, are kind to both your skin and the planet, and perform well too. Here’s a rundown of our top picks:
First up, we have a shower gel that’s as nourishing as a moisturizer, soothing and protecting your skin, especially delicate areas like your face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin, packed with natural ingredients, and free from chemical foaming agents and synthetic fragrances. Its spicy, plant-based scent will energize your morning routine.
Next, there’s a versatile shower gel that doubles as an insect repellent. It comes in an eco-friendly sugar cane plastic bottle and is vegan. This 2-in-1 product can be used as both a body wash and shampoo. It contains organic bergamot and tea tree oil, which have antiseptic and anti-fungal properties, helping to keep dandruff and head lice at bay. Although its scent is a bit medicinal, it’s effective.
Another option is a creamy body wash with essential lemon oil for a bright, lively scent. This vegan-friendly gel from Weleda leaves your skin moisturized and refreshed with its zesty citrus fragrance. It’s designed to uplift your spirits and cleanse your skin naturally.
For a fresh and zingy feel, try a body wash that includes natural coconut and sugar extracts to cleanse and maintain your skin’s natural pH balance. It also contains organic aloe vera to soothe irritation and essential oils like blood orange, cedarwood, and black pepper for added benefits. This gel has a strong but natural scent that’s both refreshing and delightful.
If you have sensitive skin, consider a shower gel with hints of rose, lavender, and orange. It’s rich in organic glycerin, which softens and shines your skin and can be used as a shampoo. Despite being so pure that the company claims it’s safe enough to eat (though we don’t recommend it), it’s effective for those with eczema, as it didn’t cause any breakouts for our tester.
For a luxurious shower experience, there’s a shower gel infused with nurturing aloe vera and glycerine, leaving your skin clean and soft. A little goes a long way, making it a cost-effective choice.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are versatile, suitable for cleaning almost anything from your body to your home. Free from synthetic preservatives, detergents, and foaming agents, this soap is a favorite among many, including Meghan Markle. The lavender scent is especially calming for evening baths.
Bar soaps might be an even more sustainable option than gels, as they come without plastic or glass packaging and tend to last longer. A natural moisturizing soap with coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood essential oils smells wonderful and comes in compostable paper packaging.
Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap is another excellent bar soap option, blending lavender essential oil with iris and viola extracts for a calming effect. Made entirely from vegetable oils and natural plant extracts, it’s great for sensitive skin and leaves you feeling clean and refreshed.
These organic shower gels and soaps offer a variety of benefits from soothing sensitive skin to providing versatile cleaning options. Whether you prefer a zesty citrus aroma or a calming lavender scent, there’s something for everyone. Enjoy a cleaner, more eco-friendly shower experience with these carefully chosen products.
