How to choose the perfect organic shower gel for your skin!

Incredible skin starts in the shower, not after! If you buy body wash at random (or just because it "smells good"), you risk damaging your skin barrier. To have super soft, hydrated, and radiant skin 24/7, you need to find the specific product for your needs.

But before discovering your ideal match, there is a golden rule that will transform your shower routine: learning to read the INCI.

Regardless of your skin type, your body's health and the environment will thank you if you avoid the most aggressive surfactants and preservatives. When you turn the bottle around, make sure it is a body wash free from parabens, silicones, and petrolatum.

Here is the "blacklist" to avoid for safe cleansing:

  • SLS / SLES (aggressive surfactants).
  • Silicones and Parabens.
  • Mineral oils and Isothiazolinones.
  • Artificial dyes and Synthetic fragrances.

Spoiler: Nature already has everything you need. Why complicate your life with chemistry?

A brief history of body wash: from ancient soap to today

Liquid body wash as we know it today was born in the 60s, but the quest for perfect cleansing has ancient roots:

  • Ancient Egypt: Early cleansing prototypes with natural ointments and emollients to combat impurities.
  • Ancient Rome: The true ancestor of soap arrives (a mix of ash and tallow inherited from the Gauls), later enriched with precious Olive Oil.
  • Twentieth Century: A definitive goodbye to the old solid soap bar for daily use and the birth of liquid body wash, practical and fragrant.

🎯 Find the best body wash for your skin type

Stand in front of the mirror, in good natural light, and discover who you are:

  • Combination or Normal Skin? Perfect balance, but it needs protection. What to look for: Delicate, hydrating formulas that keep skin soft over time without weighing it down.
  • Dry or Sensitive Skin? It feels tight, itches, or gets red easily. What to look for: Zero aggressive surfactants. Go for BIO and natural ingredients like Extra Virgin Olive Oil (super emollient), Grape Juice (anti-itch and for psoriasis), Sweet Almonds and Argan (repairing and elasticizing).
