Avoid greenwashing shower gels made by brands that pretend to be organic, natural, and safer when they are not, they will use their misleading marketing tricks to convince you to buy their products.
I even avoid these preservatives, considered safer:
❌ Sodium Benzoate

💚 Many of you asked for my recommendation for a good organic shower gel! Here you will find the safest recommended brands.
💚 The shower gels listed on this page are made with even safer preservatives. I also mention when a brand offers mild preservatives in one shower gel and a more aggressive preservative in another shower gel, so you can pick the safer version. There are a few shower gel brands that are actually not using preservatives since they have a higher pH that allows them to skip the need for preservatives. These products tend to dry the skin:
I was using Dr. Bronner’s until I noticed that it was drying my skin because of that pH, plus Dr. Bronner’s uses fragrance in some of their shower gel versions. I switched to Aleavia Body Wash and my skin is so soft now, like baby skin. 💚 Here you can find the safest body ashes on the market!
