Body wash

Mild body washes with fragrance-free options and no unnecessary dyes.

For daily showers, we prioritize mild cleansers and ingredients that help keep skin from feeling dry after washing.  Fragrance-free choices are central to the selection, with scent ingredients identified in other formulas.  A plant-based label alone does not tell you how gentle the complete wash will be.

Sonett Sensitive Hand & Body Wash Refill — 1 L Sonett Sensitive Hand & Body Wash Refill — 1 L Why we recommend it: Olive- and coconut-oil soaps provide the cleansing base, supported by sugar-based cleansers and moisture-binding glycerin.  Sonett recommends this fragrance-free formula for hands, face and body.  It contains 1–5% ethanol; like other alkaline soaps, it may feel drying on some skin.  This is a one-liter refill, not a pump bottle. Materials: olive- and coconut-oil soaps · sugar-based cleansers · glycerin · ethanol (1–5%) $24.99★ 4.5 · 100+ ratings View on Amazon
Ursa Major Hoppin’ Fresh Body Wash — 10 fl oz Ursa Major Hoppin’ Fresh Body Wash — 10 fl oz LEAPING BUNNYUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Foaming cleansers wash away sweat and everyday buildup, while glycerin and aloe help keep skin comfortable.  The formula names its aromatic oils, including peppermint, eucalyptus and lavender, rather than hiding them in an unspecified fragrance blend.  A good fit for mint-scent lovers, but choose an unscented wash if essential oils irritate your skin. Materials: glycerin · aloe · peppermint and eucalyptus oils $26.00★ 4.5 · 52 ratings View on Amazon
Vermont Soap Simply Unscented Shea Butter Body Wash — 12 oz Vermont Soap Simply Unscented Shea Butter Body Wash — 12 oz USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Shea butter and glycerin complement the coconut, olive and jojoba oil soap in this unscented shower gel.  Guar gum gives it a thicker texture than a thin liquid castile soap.  It is a straightforward option for people who prefer to skip perfumed body washes, with aloe and the complete ingredient list clearly identified. Materials: soap from coconut, olive and jojoba oils · shea butter · glycerin · aloe vera $15.89★ 4.3 · 600+ ratings View on Amazon

100% PURE French Lavender Shower Gel, 16 fl oz 100% PURE French Lavender Shower Gel, 16 fl oz USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: The aloe-based gel pairs its cleansing blend with glycerin, other moisture-binding ingredients and rose hydrosol to help counter the dry feel that can follow washing.  Lavender oil supplies the scent, and fragrance allergens are listed rather than hidden behind a generic perfume entry.  Made in California; it is best skipped if lavender fragrance bothers your skin. Materials: aloe juice · cleansing blend · glycerin · moisture-binding ingredients · rose hydrosol · lavender oil $25.00 View product
ACURE Farm Collection Body Wash Oil — 10 fl oz ACURE Farm Collection Body Wash Oil — 10 fl oz Why we recommend it: Glycerin leads this low-lather formula, with avocado and jojoba oils for a soft feel after washing.  Two sulfate-free cleansers do the washing; despite the name, it is a rinse-off body wash, not a bottle of pure oil.  Lavender supplies the scent; avoid it if you react to fragrance. Materials: glycerin · avocado oil · cocamidopropyl betaine · disodium cocoamphodiacetate · jojoba oil · lavender oil · polyquaternium-10 $15.99 View product
Annmarie Rosemary Peppermint Hand & Body Wash, 240 ml Annmarie Rosemary Peppermint Hand & Body Wash, 240 ml USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Aloe and glycerin accompany sugar-derived cleansers, while rosemary and peppermint oils provide a distinctly herbal scent.  This body wash is MADE SAFE certified, adding independent ingredient screening to its detailed label.  Made in Colorado, it comes in an aluminum bottle with a plastic pump.  The essential oils may not suit fragrance-sensitive skin. Materials: aloe juice · sugar-derived cleansing agents · glycerin · rosemary and peppermint oils · botanical extracts $34.00 View product
Be Green Bath + Body Unscented Shower Gel Be Green Bath + Body Unscented Shower Gel USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: The unscented formula has EWG VERIFIED status, giving shoppers an ingredient-review reference beyond the brand's own claims.  Coconut, olive and jojoba oil soap handle cleansing, while glycerin and aloe round out the gel.  Made in small batches in Massachusetts, it contains no added essential oils; its amber bottle is plastic, not glass. Materials: coconut, olive and jojoba oil soap · glycerin · guar gum · aloe · rosemary extract $26.00 View product
Bravo Sierra Unscented Body Wash, 13 fl oz Bravo Sierra Unscented Body Wash, 13 fl oz USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: This fragrance-free liquid combines four cleansing agents with glycerin and squalane, rather than relying on an alkaline soap base.  The manufacturer reports a pH of 5–7 and makes the wash in Arizona.  Aloe and green tea complete the formula.  A synthetic conditioning polymer and plastic bottle are also disclosed. Materials: cleansing blend · glycerin · squalane · aloe · green tea extract · synthetic conditioning polymer $25.00 View product
Ceela Naturals Original Body Wash, 12 oz Ceela Naturals Original Body Wash, 12 oz USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: A four-ingredient wash built around safflower-derived linoleate, without added scent or a long botanical blend.  SkinSAFE independently lists the twelve-ounce formula as SkinSAFE 100 for avoiding its top 11 common allergens.  Made in Kentucky, it offers unusually clear ingredient disclosure, but that screening is not a guarantee against irritation or an endorsement by Mayo Clinic. Materials: safflower-derived potassium linoleate · aspartate · phenylalanine $25.00 View product
Moon Valley Organics Lavender Herbal Body Wash Moon Valley Organics Lavender Herbal Body Wash USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: For those who prefer a scented, soap-based shower wash, this Washington-made formula uses sunflower, coconut and castor oils as its cleaning base.  Calendula and comfrey are infused into the sunflower oil, with lavender and lavandin oils providing the scent.  The bottle is plastic.  Choose a different formula if you need an unscented or pH-balanced cleanser. Materials: plant-oil soap · glycerin · lavender and lavandin oils $11.99 View product
Plantlife Lemongrass Body Wash, 14 oz Plantlife Lemongrass Body Wash, 14 oz USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Lemongrass oil provides the citrus scent, with no undisclosed perfume blend.  Coconut- and castor-oil soaps work alongside plant-derived cleansers, with aloe and a kelp ferment in the formula.  Made in the USA, this is a scented wash—not a fragrance-free choice for skin that reacts to essential oils. Materials: coconut- and castor-oil soaps · plant-derived cleansing agents · aloe · kelp ferment · lemongrass oil $19.95 View product
Terressentials Fragrance-Free Gentle Bath Gel Body Wash, 8 fl oz Terressentials Fragrance-Free Gentle Bath Gel Body Wash, 8 fl oz USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Olive-oil Castile soap provides the cleansing base, with aloe juice and jojoba oil in a low-foaming gel.  This Maryland-made wash leaves out added perfume and essential oils while keeping its plant extracts clearly identified.  It is a true soap, so the gentle-sounding name should not be mistaken for a pH-neutral formula. Materials: olive oil soap · aloe vera juice · jojoba oil · calendula, marshmallow, lady’s mantle and turmeric extracts $16.50 View product
