Looking for the best organic shower gels that pamper and soothe your skin? We’ve rounded up some great options that smell fantastic and are kind to both your skin and the planet.
If you’re concerned about micro-beads harming the environment or your skin suffering from harsh chemicals and strong perfumes, going organic with your shower gel has more benefits. Choose from any of the options below for both performance and a lovely scent – we’ve tested them all!
1. This shower gel is like a moisturizer because it nourishes, soothes, and protects the skin. It’s designed specifically for delicate face and hands skin. It’s rich in glycerin, contains minimal water, and is packed with natural components, avoiding any chemical foaming products or synthetic fragrances. It has a spicy plant-based scent that’s sure to energize your morning routine.
2. Another versatile shower gel also works as an insect repellent. Packaged in eco-friendly sugar cane plastic, this vegan gel serves as a body wash and can double as a shampoo. The blend of organic bergamot and tea tree oil provides antiseptic and anti-fungal properties, helping keep dandruff and head lice away. The scent is fresh, although slightly medicinal.
3. Weleda offers a creamy body wash that moisturizes all over and has a zesty lemon scent. This vegan-friendly product promises freshness and an instant mood boost. It’s super creamy and leaves your skin feeling moisturized and refreshed.
4. Evolve Organic Beauty brings a body wash with natural coconut and sugar extracts that maintain the skin’s pH balance and organic Aloe Vera to nourish and calm irritation. It has a mix of essential oils like blood orange for better blood flow, cedarwood for a soothing aroma, and black pepper for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The scent is strong yet naturally delightful.
5. Feelunique’s shower gel has traces of rose, lavender, and orange scents and high levels of organic glycerin, which soften and add shine. It’s gentle enough to be used as a shampoo and is safe for consumption, although it’s not recommended. This vegan-friendly gel didn’t cause any breakouts in our tester with sensitive skin.
6. Urtekram’s shower gel offers a rose scent, making you feel like you’re showering in a bed of roses. It features aloe vera and glycerine, which clean and soften skin. Our editor loves its natural smell and efficient lather, making it economical as you only need a small amount.
7. Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are versatile for cleaning your face, body, hair, and even household items like dishes and laundry. Free from synthetic preservatives and foaming agents, these soaps come in a calming lavender scent, perfect for bedtime.
For those who prefer bar soaps, they are even more sustainable since they don’t come in plastic or glass packaging. Bar soaps tend to last longer too.
For instance:
– A natural moisturizing soap blends nourishing coconut with jasmine and sandalwood aromatherapy oils. Packaged in compostable glassine paper, it leaves a lingering, delightful scent on your skin.
– Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap combines lavender essential oil with iris and viola extracts for a calming and gentle clean. Made entirely from vegetable oils and plant extracts, it’s perfect for sensitive skin.
Whether you prefer a shower gel or bar soap, these organic options ensure you pamper your skin while caring for the environment.
