Organic Shower Gel

Conventional Shower Gels

Avoid conventional shower gels made with toxic, cheap, and chemical ingredients. 

❌ 𝙋𝙀𝙂𝙎 and ingredients that end in “-eth”. Ex: sodium laureth sulfate.

❌ 𝙎𝙪𝙡𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨: It is what makes lather, yes, foaming shower gels is the most toxic

❌ 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚: conventional: parabens, quaternion-15, glyoxal, benzisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, and Phenoxyethanol are found even in many natural products.

❌ 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚: even the “natural” ones, if they are not disclosing the sources.

Greenwashing Shower Gels

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

❌ Potassium Sorbate: preservative,  Human skin toxicant, or allergen – strong evidence.
Causes serious eye irritation

❌ Benzyl Alcohol, a synthetic ingredient used as a solvent and preservative, has been associated with contact allergy. Known human toxicant or allergen, Human system toxicant or allergen – strong evidence, Associated with immunotoxicity or allergies, Classified as toxic or harmful, Dangerous for the environment.
According to pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

❌ Natural 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚: even the “natural” ones, if they are not disclosing the sources.

Organic Shower Gels

💚 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 gels versions.  I switched to Aleavia Body Wash and my skin is so soft now, like baby skin. ​​
