Not all body washes are created equal. Some can dry out your skin, some can cause unsightly irritation or allergic reactions. While other skin types have no problem with drug store or department store brands, most skin types need products that nourish their skin without hurting the wallet.

Being "natural" and "organic" are now the gold standards of beauty regimens the world over. There are countless options for our face and hair, but the products for our neck-down seem to be limited to harsh and toxic body washes.

If you haven't started swapping your beauty products yet, know that it's most important to be intentional with what you use on your body. Many commercial goods secretly contain toxic ingredients. These can potentially enter your bloodstream and harm you in the long run. Not only that, but they also contain chemicals that can affect the environment.

How to Pick the Best Body Wash for Your Skin Type

Once you decide to be a consumer with a conscience, you'll come to realize how many of the items on your bath aren't as organic as you think. After responsibly disposing (or donating) the products that aren't fit for you, it's best to learn the best body wash for your skin. There are two basic formula types:

Shower Gels

Most often, they are clear or brightly coloured. This type of body wash is also called a shower gel. The formulation is quite similar to shampoos with the main function of cleaning the body. Some shower gels contain "surfactants" which do a great job of removing oil and grime from hair and skin. This sounds great after a sweaty summer day. The problem, however, is that surfactants can be too strong and strip off the skin's natural oils.

Many shower gels use a higher level of fragrance compared to shampoos. If you're too sensitive, these chemicals can affect your skin.

Moisturizing Body Washes

Then some formulas look almost like lotions, they are creamy and thick. These body washes are often labelled under a variety of names: cream oil, deep moisture, nourishing wash, essential oil wash, among many others.

These formulas still serve its cleansing purpose but also have the added benefit of moisturizing your skin. The formulation allows the moisturizers to be substantive to the skin which means they stick well even after rinsing.

Essential Oils on Your Body Wash

At BWG we use Essential Oils as a core formula on our body washes. What are Essential Oils, you ask?

Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants. The oils capture the plant's scent and flavour also called its "essence."

Unique aromatic compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence. Essential oils are obtained through distillation (via steam and/or water) or mechanical methods, such as cold pressing. Once the aromatic chemicals have been extracted, they are combined with a carrier oil to create a product that's ready for use.
