Looking for the best organic shower gels to treat your skin right and smell amazing? Healthista has put together a list of shower gels that are not only great for your skin but also kind to the planet. Here’s what we found:
This first shower gel works like a moisturizer, nourishing and protecting the skin, perfect for your face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin, loaded with natural ingredients, and free from synthetic fragrances and foaming agents. The spicy, plant-infused scent will definitely wake you up in the morning.
Another option we found even doubles as an insect repellent. It comes in environmentally friendly, sugar cane plastic bottles and is vegan. You can use it for both your body and hair. The mix of organic bergamot and tea tree oil helps keep dandruff and lice at bay, although the smell might lean a bit antiseptic.
For a zesty kick, try the shower gel with essential lemon oil. It’s vegan and has a citrusy scent that lifts your spirits. It’s creamy and leaves your skin feeling fresh and soft.
If you prefer a stronger, natural fragrance, there’s a shower gel with coconut and sugar extracts that keep your skin’s pH balance in check. With Aloe Vera to soothe, it also has blood orange, cedarwood, and black pepper oils, making it smell amazing and feel refreshing.
There’s also a gentle shower gel with rose, lavender, and orange scents. It’s so mild that even sensitive skin can handle it without causing eczema. The high levels of organic glycerin soften the skin and it’s pure enough that the company claims it’s safe to consume (although we don’t recommend it).
For rose lovers, there’s a shower gel that feels like bathing in a bed of roses. With nurturing aloe vera and glycerine, it’s not only luxurious but also economical, as you only need a small amount to lather up.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are incredibly versatile—they can be used for everything from washing your face, body, and hair to cleaning dishes, laundry, and even pets. The lavender scent is soothing, making it perfect for a pre-bedtime bath.
If you prefer bar soaps, they’re even more sustainable than gel. One natural soap includes coconut and jasmine-sandalwood oils, made without artificial ingredients and wrapped in compostable paper. The scent lingers on your skin long after your shower.
Lastly, the Weleda Lavender Bar Soap is fantastic for its calming lavender scent. Entirely made from vegetable oils and natural extracts, it cleanses gently, making it a great choice for sensitive skin.
In choosing any of these organic shower products, you’re not only treating your skin with care but also helping the environment. Enjoy the delightful scents and the peace of mind that comes with going organic.
