We all know the importance of having a good shower routine. How important is it to have a natural and environmentally friendly shower gel that eliminates dust and makes your body relaxed after a long and tiring day
Many conventional body washes have sulfates or parabens which cause harm in the long run to your skin. This is where environmentally friendly and natural body washes come into play. To understand more about environmentally friendly shower gels, let us have a look at the top ingredients that they may have in order to make your skin feel fresh and hydrated.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is known for the skin soothing and hydrating properties. It is a popular component in all natural skin care products due to its ability to reduce irritation and help nourishing the skin. If it's part of an eco-friendly body wash then aloe vera is a gentle moisturiser that does not require harsh chemicals as well as synthetic moisturisers. It is ideal for those who have sensitive or dry skin. It also offers a refreshing and luxurious feel for showering.
Take a look at the Pomegranate & Aloe Vera Body Wash. This shower gel is loaded with antioxidants, pomegranate, and soft aloe vera for a skin-friendly product.
Coconut-Derived Cleansers
In place of sulfates, such as SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) that are damaging to the skin and environment, a lot of natural shower gels consist in coconut-derived Surfactants. They gently rid the skin of dirt and oil without damaging the skin's barrier to moisture.
They're biodegradable that means they're capable of breaking down rapidly without harming aquatic life or the waterways.
Essential Oils
Essential oils that come from nature have two functions that are: they provide a pleasing aroma and offer numerous benefits to the skin. Contrary to synthetic scents essential oils are derived from plants and are biodegradable. Look for ingredients such as orange bergamot or Eucalyptus. They can aid in reviving and refreshing, without causing allergic reactions or environmental harm.
Test this out: California Body Wash. With uplifting essential oils of citrus and extracts from botanicals this body wash gives you a fresh and refreshing experience while also remaining environmentally-conscious.
Glycerin
For eco-friendly shower cosmetics, glycerin, particularly plant-derived glycerin has outstanding value. It is a humectant which attracts moisture-laden water from the environment to the skin and keeps it supple.
Glycerin, on the other hand, is both safe and biodegradable. It is non-irritant even for the most sensitive skin.
Pomegranate Extract
Pomegranate extract is a notable source of vitamins and antioxidants particularly for skin health and skin hydration. It also combats free radicals and stimulates collagen synthesis, thereby improving skin health.
In eco-friendly shower gels, the extract from pomegranate provides skin radiance with no harmful effects.
Natural Preservatives
To increase shelf life with no parabens and synthetic preservatives. Choose natural alternatives like Vitamin E (tocopherol) or potassium sorbate or the extract of rosemary.
These are less harmful to the skin and split into pieces naturally within the environment.
