Looking for the best organic shower gels that not only pamper and soothe your skin but also smell amazing and are kind to the planet? Here are some top picks we’ve tested for performance and fragrance.
This shower gel works like a moisturizer, nourishing, soothing, and protecting your skin, especially on the delicate areas of your face and hands. It’s rich in glycerin, minimal in water, packed with natural components, and free from chemical foaming agents and synthetic fragrances. With a spicy, plant-based scent, it’s great for an energizing morning wash.
Another option is a 2-in-1 shower gel that doubles as an insect repellent and can also replace your shampoo. It’s vegan and comes in an eco-friendly sugar cane plastic bottle. It contains organic bergamot and tea tree oil, which offer antiseptic and anti-fungal properties to help keep dandruff and head lice at bay. Though it has a somewhat antiseptic smell, it gets the job done.
Weleda offers a creamy natural body wash with essential lemon oil that provides a bright and lively scent. This vegan-friendly product will leave your skin feeling fresh and moisturized while giving your spirits a lift with its zesty, citrus fragrance.
Evolve Organic Beauty’s body wash uses natural coconut and sugar extracts to maintain the skin’s natural pH balance and includes organic Aloe Vera to calm irritation. Its essential oils of blood orange, cedarwood, and black pepper offer additional benefits like increased blood flow, a soothing aroma, and antibacterial properties. The result is a fresh and zingy wash with a strong but natural scent.
Feelunique’s shower gel combines rose, lavender, and orange scents, and it’s so pure that it’s reportedly safe to consume (though we don’t recommend it). It’s packed with organic glycerin, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin and suitable for use as a shampoo.
Urtekram’s shower gel, with nurturing aloe vera and glycerin, will make you feel like you’re showering in a bed of roses. It lathers well with just a small amount, making it economical and delightful for rose enthusiasts.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are versatile for use on face, body, hair, and even household cleaning tasks. Containing no synthetic preservatives, detergents, or foaming agents, these soaps offer a calming lavender scent, ideal for pre-bedtime baths.
Bar soaps offer a more sustainable option compared to bottled gels. They usually last longer and have no plastic or glass packaging. The natural moisturizing soap with coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood oils from an unnamed brand provides an intense aroma that lasts long after your shower.
Weleda’s Lavender Bar Soap is another great choice, filled with lavender essential oil, balancing iris and viola extracts, and made entirely from vegetable oils and natural plant extracts. It’s perfect for gentle, refreshing skin cleaning, especially for those with sensitive skin.
These shower gels and soaps provide a variety of benefits, from moisturizing and soothing to offering insect-repelling properties—all while being kind to the environment and your skin.
