4 Natural Body Washes You Should Try

Pick up any body wash and look at the ingredient list. If you can manage to quickly look them up online, you would find that a lot of them are petrochemical-derived ingredients. These ingredients release significant carbon during production and also flow directly from our bathrooms into our waterways.

‍

These ingredients can also disrupt endocrine function and fertility, and may cause psychological effects.

‍

While the definition of "natural" products can be subjective, we use it here to describe products made from bio-based ingredients. Several sustainable brands make natural body wash using biodegradable, bio-based ingredients from renewable sources, helping to keep us and our planet safe.

‍

Here are 4 of the best natural body washes from sustainable brands:

Plaine Products

‍

Plaine Products offers an aloe-based natural body wash that nourishes your skin while being environmentally friendly. This vegan and cruelty-free formula doubles as a bubble bath and shaving gel. Instead of single-use plastic containers, Plaine Products uses durable aluminum bottles that are infinitely recyclable without degrading in quality. When you finish the body wash, simply rinse the empty bottle, transfer the pump to your new refill bottle, and return the empty container using the provided prepaid shipping label. This circular system eliminates waste and keeps bottles out of landfills and waterways.

Meow Meow Tweet

‍

Meow Meow Tweet offers two natural body wash options. The first one is a bar soap that doubles as a shampoo bar and works perfectly for shaving and pet washing. Another option is the Hand + Body Wash, which comes in a refillable glass jar system and aluminum refill bottles. It’s made of a traditional Castile soap formula enriched with organic aloe vera. Both products feature thoughtful, plastic-free packaging — bar soap in a paper box and liquid soap in glass, which you can repurpose, recycle, or compost. The brand's attention to detail even extends to the pump, which you can either reuse or return for TerraCycling.

Wild

‍

Wild's body wash, thoughtfully crafted with prebiotics and aloe vera, features an innovative refill system. Your initial order includes a refillable aluminum case and your choice of scented refill — all vegan, plastic-free, and compostable. When you're done with a refill, simply compost it at home and order more. Unlike other sustainable options out there, these refills don't even use a plastic liner, which makes them fully compostable. Wild is so confident that you'll love the body wash that it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. To minimize shipping-related carbon emissions, subscriptions come with a minimum of three refills.
