Looking for the best organic shower gels to pamper and soothe your skin? We’ve rounded up some shower gels that not only smell delicious but are also kind to both your skin and the planet. Whether you’re concerned about micro-beads harming the environment or harsh chemicals affecting your skin, going organic with your shower gel offers numerous benefits. We’ve tested all our picks to ensure they deliver great performance and fragrance too.
This first shower gel works like a moisturizer, nourishing, soothing, and protecting your skin. It’s suitable for delicate skin on the face and hands. Rich in glycerin and packed with natural ingredients, it excludes foaming chemicals or synthetic fragrances. Its spicy, plant-based scent is perfect for an energizing morning wash.
Next up, we have a shower gel that also acts as an insect repellent and comes in an eco-friendly sugar cane plastic bottle. This vegan formula serves as both a body wash and shampoo. With organic bergamot and tea tree oil, it offers antiseptic and anti-fungal qualities that help keep dandruff and head lice at bay, though it does have a slightly antiseptic smell.
Weleda’s shower gel is a creamy, natural body wash with essential lemon oil for a fresh, zesty fragrance. This vegan-friendly product refreshes your skin and uplifts your spirits with its lively scent, leaving your skin moisturized and rejuvenated.
Another great option is Evolve Organic Beauty’s body wash, featuring natural coconut and sugar extracts that cleanse while maintaining the skin’s pH balance. Infused with organic Aloe Vera and essential oils like blood orange, cedarwood, and black pepper, it has a strong but natural scent and promises a fresh, zingy feel.
Feelunique’s shower gel blends scents of rose, lavender, and orange. High in organic glycerin, it softens both skin and hair, making it versatile enough to use as a shampoo. This pure, organic, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly formula is great for sensitive skin and even claimed to be safe enough to consume (although we don’t recommend trying it).
For a floral experience, Urtekram’s rose-scented shower gel combines aloe vera and glycerine to keep your skin clean and soft. It lathers well and you only need a small amount for your entire body, making it economical too.
Dr. Bronner’s versatile 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are perfect for various cleaning tasks, from face, body, and hair to dishes, laundry, and even pets. Free from synthetic preservatives and foaming agents, the lavender version is especially calming for bedtime baths.
While not shower gels, bar soaps are an even more sustainable option. They typically last longer and avoid plastic or glass packaging. One option is a natural moisturizing soap with coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood oils. Its wonderful aroma lingers long after your shower, made without artificial preservatives and packed in compostable paper.
Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap combines calming lavender with iris and viola extracts. Made from vegetable oils and natural plant extracts, it gently cleanses the skin and works well for sensitive skin.
