Body washes containing moisturizing ingredients can help reduce the tight, dry feeling some people experience after showering. The products featured in the guide include formulas with ingredients such as glycerin, ceramides, shea butter and plant oils, which help hydrate skin while cleansing. For sensitive or eczema-prone skin, fragrance-free options are also included.
The recommendations cover a range of needs. OSEA Undaria Algae Body Wash is named best overall, while Dove Serum + Radiance Oil Body Wash is selected for mature skin and Each & Every Day Dream Body Wash for scent. Nécessaire The Body Wash is recommended for body acne, and La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP Moisturizing Body & Face Wash for eczema.
The list also includes Soft Services Comfort Cleanse Ultra Soothing Shower Gel for sensitive skin, L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil for very dry skin, and Cocokind Milky Soft Face & Body Cleanser for use on both the face and body. The Cocokind cleanser is fragrance-free and has the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance, according to the guide.
The featured formulas vary in ingredients and texture, from oil cleansers that foam when mixed with water to gentle gels and milky cleansers. The guide advises looking for ingredients that support hydration and the skin barrier, including niacinamide and ceramides, as well as moisturizing oils and shea butter.
