Shop Body Wash and Shower Oils

The right body wash does more than rinse off the day. It can leave skin soft and comfortable, or fresh and scrubbed, depending on the formula. Body wash comes as a hydrating cream, a shower gel, a shower oil, a gel-to-foam body cleanser or an exfoliating scrub, and we're an official stockist of Bioderma, La Roche-Posay, Grown Alchemist, Kundal, IKKARI and Hunter Lab, among others. Pick by how your skin feels once you're out of the shower, not just by scent.

Hydrating and Moisturising Body Wash

If your skin feels tight after showering, start with a hydrating body wash. Kundal Honey & Macadamia Pure Body Wash is infused with honey, macadamia seed and aloe, with a warm amber vanilla scent. For very dry or irritated skin, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet AP+ Body Wash Cream is a daily body cleanser made for extremely dry and irritated skin, and it helps neutralise the drying effects of hard water. Sensitive skin that dislikes fragrance can try Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Gel Moussant, a fragrance free body wash with niacinamide, zinc and copper that cleanses and softens.

Look for words like moisturising, creamy or nourishing on the label, and skip anything heavily fragranced if your skin is easily upset. A pump bottle in the shower keeps the amount sensible, and a good body wash should rinse off cleanly without leaving a film. Lukewarm water is kinder than a very hot shower, which can leave dry skin feeling worse.

Shower Oils and Body Cleansers

A shower oil cleanses without that squeaky-clean feeling. Bioderma Atoderm Ultra-Nourishing Cleansing Shower Oil is a 1L body cleanser for dry and sensitive skin that gently removes dirt and bacteria without drying the skin. IKKARI Rose Absolute, Neroli & Seabuckthorn Shower Oil is an oil-to-milk shower treatment that nourishes, hydrates and soothes, with a floral-citrus scent.

Prefer a lather? Grown Alchemist Energize Body Cleanser is a refreshing gel-to-foam wash with an uplifting botanical scent. If you like a scrubbed feeling, Hunter Lab Exfoliating Hand & Body Wash is an exfoliating gel with pumice and five AHAs, so use it a couple of times a week rather than daily, and go gently on freshly shaved or sunburnt skin.
