Skin type: The folks at Brickell believe that this product is for any man of any age and any skin type. We tend to agree with them.

Scent: It’s a minty pine sort of aroma, a bit like a forest after a fresh rain.

Ease of application: Because this is a mostly natural formula, you shouldn’t expect to find the lather quite as thick or easy as some other products may be.

A shower sponge, washcloth, or something like it will make it easier, but most guys find the lather to be just right.

Package sizes: There’s a 2-ounce size that’s good for travel, and then your standard 16-ounce size.

The 16-ounce bottle works out to less than $1.90 per ounce. That’s definitely on the higher side, but doesn’t quite push it into the unreasonable range.

Its formula is all-natural, dermatologist-tested and non-irritating.  

Parabens: No

Sulphates: No

Added fragrance: Yes

Cruelty-free: Yes

Skin Type: All skin types can benefit from its deep cleansing and soothing action.

In addition to the terrific smell, users love that a little of this thick formula goes a long way, creating a wonderful lather. At the same time, it washes away easily without leaving a film.

This Every Man Jack Bodywash for Men, however, does not dry your skin (actually it seems to hydrate it). That boils down to the castor, clary sage, and rosemary oils inside – and the lack of ingredients such as synthetic dyes.

• Parabens: No
• Sulphates: No
• Added fragrance: Yes
• Cruelty-free: Yes

Skin type: This is designed for men’s skin, and it’s especially good for sensitive skins.

Scent: The cedarwood scent is light and smells a little more like manly lumber than a super-sharp pine forest.

Ease of application: The thick formula has a slickness that makes it easy to distribute. Users experience everything from moderate to luxurious lathering and it all rinses away easily.

Package size: There’s a 16.9-ounce size available on Amazon as an add-on item – and it’s probably the most cost effective option.

As an add-on item, you get nearly 17-ounce for just under $6. That works out to roughly 35 cents per ounce, which is downright amazing for this best body wash for men.

This body wash doubles as a shampoo and leaves a scent that combines fresh mahogany, bourbon vanilla, and golden amber.

Cruelty-free: Yes

Skin Type: Due to its added fragrance, this body wash is not recommended for sensitive or dry skin

Scent: Its mahogany wood scent is a subtly sweet fragrance that stays both on the skin and in the shower

Ease of application: The Bath & Body Works shower gel formula foams well and washes off clean without leaving any residue

Package size: Its 10-ounce bottles can last long even if used regularly

One bottle is around $25 and that’s only 10 ounces. It’s a great addition to your toiletry shelf if you’re keen to smell a bit more feminine than usual.

You won’t be sorry when you put this on your Subscribe & Save list, though you may want to see how long it lasts before you do so.

Men love the refreshing clean, the easy lather, and that it rinses easily without leaving a residue. In addition to mint extracts (that’s the refreshing bit), there’s also vitamin B5 to keep your skin soft and smooth, and users report that it’s truly non-drying.

We wish they weren’t testing on animals and, hopefully, one day they won’t.

• Parabens: No
• Sulphates: Yes
• Added fragrance: Yes
• Cruelty-free: No

Skin type: This body wash is great for all skin and hair types.

Scent: It’s a bit difficult to describe the fresh, masculine scent of this body wash, but it’s delicious and not overpowering.

Ease of application: The lather on this is exceptional, though the formula feels a little runnier than other body washes. Pair it with a loofah or sponge for the best results on your body.

Package size: For this price, you’ll get over 50 ounces spread between three 16.9 oz bottles.

Not only will you pay 30 cents per ounce at the regular price with Prime shipping, there’s a Subscribe & Save option that will save you even more money.

We know this isn’t an explicitly masculine body wash. But, we’re also not saying this is for all men – this is for guys that have exceptionally sensitive skin or conditions like eczema that require special attention. If that’s you, this is the body wash you want.

The formula is totally natural and good for you, as you would expect from anything created by PhD chemists working to solve the problem of crazy skin sensitivities.

It really does get the job done and makes your skin feel soft, moisturized, and all without the nastiness of rashes and irritations.

Believe it or not, part of that boils down to the Himalayan sea salt, citrus extracts and the coco glycinate, a coconut extract that allows for foaming without disrupting the pH balance of your skin.

• Parabens: No
• Sulphates: No
• Added fragrance: No
• Cruelty-free: Yes, PETA-certified

Skin type: This is a gender-neutral product and designed with skin sensitivities in mind.

Scent: It’s a refreshing citrus-like aroma with a touch of the ocean (which isn’t surprising given the ingredients inside).

Ease of application: It does become foamy, especially if you pair it with a washcloth or a loofah. But it’s thinner than others, largely due to the all-natural ingredients.

Package sizes: There’s a single 16-ounce bottle, a double pack, and a 64-ounce refill pack which makes it even more economical.

The 2-pack works out to 66 cents per ounce and is available for both Prime and Subscribe & Save, but you can save more with the refill pack (which is definitely more environmentally friendly).

Want a value-for-money body wash that’s designed just for men and has the backing of a big name brand? This formula ticks all the right boxes.

Guys love the way it makes their skin feel after showering – it cleans well and rinses off easily.

The clarifying micro grains add a touch of exfoliation to your cleansing routine and help to refresh and moisturize your skin. It’s not a super-deep scrub, but it is refreshing.
