Looking for the best organic shower gels to treat your skin right? We’ve rounded up some delicious-smelling options that are gentle on both your skin and the environment.
If you’re concerned about micro-beads harming the planet or want to avoid harsh chemicals and perfumes, going organic with your shower gel offers many benefits. Plus, you’ll enjoy great performance and lovely fragrances—we’ve tested them all to ensure they meet our standards.
First up, we have a shower gel that works like a moisturizer, nourishing, soothing, and protecting your skin. It’s designed for the delicate skin on your face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin, contains minimal water, and is packed with natural ingredients without any synthetic fragrances or chemical foaming agents. Its spicy, plant-based scent will surely energize your morning routine.
Another fantastic choice is a shower gel that also acts as an insect repellent. It’s packaged in eco-friendly sugar cane plastic and is registered as vegan. Use it to wash your body and hair. With organic bergamot and tea tree oil, it has antiseptic and antifungal properties that help with dandruff and even head lice, though its scent is a bit antiseptic.
Weleda offers a creamy natural body wash that moisturizes your skin all over, featuring essential lemon oil for a bright and lively scent. This vegan-friendly product leaves you with freshly cleaned, moisturized skin and uplifted senses.
Evolve Organic Beauty presents a body wash with natural coconut and sugar extracts for gentle cleansing and maintaining the skin’s pH balance. Organic Aloe Vera nourishes and soothes irritation. It includes essential oils like blood orange, cedarwood, and black pepper, which provide a fresh, invigorating, and natural scent.
For a soothing experience, try this shower gel with hints of rose, lavender, and orange scents. With high levels of organic glycerin, it softens and shines, making it suitable for use as a shampoo. It’s all-natural, organic, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly, ideal for sensitive skin without causing eczema.
Urtekram’s rose-scented shower gel offers a luxurious shower experience. It contains nurturing aloe vera and glycerine, ensuring your skin is clean and soft. Anna, our editor, loves it for its natural ingredients, beautiful scent, and economical use—a little goes a long way.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are versatile and can be used for almost any cleaning task—from face, body, and hair to dishes and laundry. With no synthetic preservatives, detergents, or foaming agents, it features a calming lavender scent that’s perfect for a pre-bedtime bath.
Lastly, bar soaps are an excellent sustainable alternative to bottled gels. They have no plastic or glass packaging and generally last longer. For example, this moisturizing soap uses coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood oils, and comes in compostable packaging. It leaves a long-lasting, delightful scent on your skin.
Another great bar soap is Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap. It includes lavender essential oil, balanced with iris and viola extracts, to gently cleanse and refresh your skin. Made entirely from vegetable oils and natural plant extracts, it’s perfect for sensitive skin.
Choosing organic shower gels and bar soaps not only pampers your skin but also takes care of the planet. Happy showering!
