Looking for the best organic shower gels that are gentle on your skin and kind to the planet? We’ve rounded up some great options that not only smell amazing but also perform well. We’ve tested them all to ensure they deliver.
One of our picks serves as a moisturizer, nourishing and protecting the skin. It’s especially good for the delicate skin on your face and hands. It’s packed with glycerin, uses minimal water, and has loads of active natural ingredients without any harsh chemical foaming agents or synthetic fragrances. Its spicy, plant-based aroma will definitely wake you up in the morning.
Another great option works as both a body wash and an insect repellent. Its bottle is made from eco-friendly sugar cane plastic, and the formula is vegan. You can even use it as a shampoo. It contains organic bergamot and tea tree oil, which have antiseptic and anti-fungal qualities, helping keep dandruff and even head lice at bay. Its scent is a bit antiseptic but still pleasant.
We also love a creamy natural body wash that’s vegan-friendly and has a bright lemon scent. It’s zesty and citrusy, offering a refreshing and uplifting experience. It moisturizes your skin while giving you a nice, fresh feeling.
For a more zingy and fresh experience, try a body wash with natural coconut and sugar extracts that help maintain your skin’s pH balance. This one features organic aloe vera to soothe and nourish the skin. It also includes essential oils like blood orange for increased blood flow, cedarwood for a calming scent, and black pepper for its antibacterial properties.
A soothing option with rose, lavender, and orange scents is perfect for sensitive skin. It has high levels of organic glycerin, which can even make it suitable as a shampoo. This gel is all-natural, organic, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly.
Another favorite will make you feel like you’re showering in a rose garden. It contains nurturing aloe vera and glycerin to keep your skin clean and soft. It’s economical since you only need a small amount to lather your whole body.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soap is incredibly versatile, suitable for cleaning your face, body, hair, and even your home. It’s made without synthetic preservatives or detergents. The lavender scent is calming, making it ideal for a pre-bedtime bath.
While gel options are great, bar soaps are even more sustainable. They come without plastic or glass packaging and tend to last longer. One fantastic bar soap option uses nourishing coconut and rebalancing jasmine and sandalwood aromatherapy oils. It comes in compostable packaging and leaves your skin with a lingering, delightful aroma.
For a calming lavender experience, try Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap. It blends lavender essential oil with balancing iris and viola extracts to gently clean the skin. It’s fully made from vegetable oils and natural plant extracts, making it a solid choice for sensitive skin.
