Did we mention that each bottle is actually a 3-in-1 soap? These soaps are formulated to be used as a shampoo, shower gel, shave gel, and bubble bath.

As a bonus, you wont find any chemicals, parabens, dyes, or fragrances in this body wash, either. Also worth mentioning is this product isn’t tested on animals – which feels pretty good too.

This extremely moisturizing body wash is made for women with dry, flaky skin.

This shower oil is almost heavenly. It feels like luxury as you smooth it on your skin. The light, not greasy what-so-ever, oil creates gentle suds that turn into a milky foam upon contact with water.

The fragrance is so good you might want to eat it. It’s light, has a beautiful smell of almond, and does an amazing job of moisturizing your skin. As a bonus, the scent doesn’t linger too much once you get out of the shower.

The main ingredient, almond oil, is naturally rich in omega 6 fatty acids. This is what helps to soften your skin.

L’Occitane almonds are sourced from a special region in Haute Provence, where some of the most delicious and nutritious almonds grow. L’Occitane supports the sustainability of almond trees in the region, as these trees, while difficult to grow, are a staple to the beauty of the Provencal landscape.

Other active ingredients include grapevine and rosemary. It’s also paraben and sulfate-free and it’s made from natural ingredients. We wish it were also a cruelty-free brand, but it appears you can’t have everything.

The price for the standard size is $25 for the 8.4-ounce size, but there’s also a mini size you can try, too. Although it is on the pricey side, L’Occitane users claim it’s worth every cent.

It really could be as it’s moisturizing enough that many women can skip body lotion when stepping out of the shower. C’mon, who doesn’t love the idea of that?

Any woman with dry skin and on a budget. The Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash Cleanser is recommended for women with normal to dry skin types, who are in need of extra hydration.

This wash works into a creamy, rich lather that rinses completely without leaving any soapy residue on your skin. If you’re a woman with super dry skin, this product feels like you’re washing your body with lotion. Which is pretty soothing, actually.

There is added fragrance, but women agree that it smells heavenly. This stuff smells like the mixture of a pretty cloud, soft pillows, and just a hint of sugar.

To be honest, the ingredients in this body wash aren’t the best of the best. But, that’s typically the case with a less expensive product.

Out of the large list of ingredients in the cleanser, only two stuck out as natural ingredients: water and sunflower seed oil. The good news is, however, it is sulfate-free.

This is where Dove outshines all the other products on this list. At $18 for 4 22-ounce bottles, you’re paying roughly a quarter of the price you would pay for most of our other faves. That works out to just over $4 a bottle!

This is ideal for normal skin, as sensitive or very dry skin may find the citrus oils a little irritating.

The simple gel will foam a little in the shower, but don’t expect a creamy lather.

The fresh, green, citrusy scent is amazing, especially for spring and summer. 

A range of citrus oils such as orange and bergamot, with glycerin for hydration. Note that it does contain SLES which may irritate some people. If you need a hydrating or soothing body wash, this may not do the trick.

As it’s from a high-end brand, it comes with a high price tag.

This is ideal for people with dry and/or sensitive skin. If you’re prone to itchiness or redness, this could work well for you as it doesn’t contain common irritants.

The nourishing ingredients are designed to leave an undetectable layer of moisture on the skin to protect against dryness and discomfort. 

At around $20 for one small bottle, the price is a little high. But for premium ingredients, it’s worth it.

Great for both men and women, this daily cleanser is scented with a hint of sun-ripened citrus and sea salt for a subtle hint of ocean breeze that you’ll never get sick of wearing.

Created with ingredients derived from fruits and vegetables, this plant-based cleanser is free from harsh ingredients, including: cocamidopropyl betaine, sulfates (SLS, SLES, SCS), salicylates, parabens, petroleum-based ingredients, animal by-products (cruelty-free), perfumes, or dyes—which makes it perfect for anyone with skin sensitivities.

Available in a variety of sizes, the best bang for your buck will be the 64-ounce bottle at $29.99, which comes out to just 47 cents an ounce. For a plant based product with a 100% money back guarantee if you’re not entirely in love, we think that’s a pretty reasonable price point.

Because of the high level of fragrance, this wouldn’t be advisable for sensitive skin. However, normal skin can revel in the layered, luxe fragrance.

This is where the product shines, with pomegranate, lily, pink pepper, patchouli, and spicy woods. Plus, the fragrance lasts after your shower so you could skip the perfume.

Shea butter is the key ingredient, providing softening hydration. It also contains fragrance, mineral oils, and sulfates which could irritate certain skin types.

At under $15 for 13.5 ounces, the price is pretty great.

Those with sensitive skin should steer clear of all highly fragranced body washes like this one. However, normal skin should be fine.

A simple gel texture that lathers with water.

You’ll spend the day smelling of citrus, pepper, juniper berries, vanilla, and warm woods.

It doesn’t contain parabens or phthalates, which is excellent. However, you won’t find any nourishing ingredients, as it’s all about that intoxicating scent.

It’s a luxe product so expect to shell out.
