One shower gel is designed to be like a moisturizer. It nourishes, soothes, and protects delicate skin, especially on the face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin, with minimal water and maximum natural ingredients. It has a spicy, plant-based scent perfect for an energizing morning wash.
Another option doubles as an insect repellent. The eco-friendly bottle is made from sugar cane plastic, and the formula is vegan. This 2-in-1 gel can also be used as a shampoo. With organic bergamot and tea tree oil, it has antiseptic and anti-fungal properties and helps with dandruff and head lice. The scent is a bit medicinal but refreshing.
Weleda offers a creamy, natural body wash with essential lemon oil for a fresh, lively scent. It’s vegan, with a zesty, citrusy fragrance that lifts your spirits. This creamy wash leaves skin moisturized and refreshed.
Evolve Organic Beauty’s body wash uses natural coconut and sugar extracts to maintain skin’s natural pH balance. It includes organic Aloe Vera to soothe irritation and essential oils like blood orange, cedarwood, and black pepper, which provide a zingy, natural scent.
Feelunique’s soothing shower gel has hints of rose, lavender, and orange. High levels of organic glycerin make it softening and suitable as a shampoo. It’s all-natural, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly. It’s so pure that it’s safe enough to eat—though we don’t recommend it. Our tester with sensitive skin didn’t experience any eczema flare-ups.
Urtekram’s shower gel will make you feel like you’re in a bed of roses. It contains aloe vera and glycerin to keep your skin soft. It lathers well, so you only need a small amount, making it economical too.
Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soaps can be used for almost any cleaning task, from your body and hair to household chores and even pets. It has no synthetic preservatives or foaming agents. The lavender scent is calming, perfect for bedtime baths.
Bar soaps are another sustainable option, as they have no plastic or glass packaging and last longer. Examples include soaps with nourishing coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood oils, and compostable packaging. They smell fantastic, and the scent lingers.
