Best Fragrance-Free Body Wash
While we love when our bathroom fills with a fragrant aroma during a shower, a good fragrance-free body wash focuses on cleansing, nourishing and balancing.

This body cleanser from Drunk Elephant is one of the best everyday body washes that is both gentle and powerful. (Pro tip: if you love the Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil, you’ll probably love this body wash.) It is formulated with a blend of amino acids to help you cleanse your skin without stripping it of natural oils.
Best Body Wash That Helps Save Our Oceans
This body wash from REN Clean Skincare is made with Atlantic kelp extract to improve skin’s vitality, plankton extract to nourish and packaged in a recycled plastic bottle made of 20 percent reclaimed ocean plastic. Although the formula feels lightweight, a little goes a long way with this invigorating body wash.
