Skin product safety
  • Patch-test new products on a small area for 24 to 48 hours.[1]
  • “Natural” and “organic” ingredients can still cause allergic reactions.[1]
  • See a dermatologist for acne, rashes or skin changes that don’t improve.[2]

Why Choose All-Natural Body Wash?

Organic and natural personal care products use more plant-based ingredients, and some carry the USDA Organic seal for their agricultural ingredients.[3] Many people prefer them for sustainability or ingredient preferences. But “organic” doesn’t mean hypoallergenic or safer for every skin type, and the FDA doesn’t define “natural” for cosmetics.[1][4] Cosmetics can’t legally claim to treat skin conditions like acne or eczema; products that do are regulated as drugs.[5]

What’s Hiding In Your Body Wash?

  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine: It is a lathering agent. Unfortunately, this causes skin allergies and dermatitis.
So, now that we’ve told you what to avoid, how do you find a safe organic body wash? Well, we got that covered, too. Just keep reading!

Choosing The Right Organic Body Wash

Here are some tips for choosing the right body lotion. Nature of the ingredient: Ensure the ingredients used are ‘natural,’ ‘certified organic,’ ‘100% organic’, or ‘100% pure’. Plant-based ingredients: Fruit extracts, essential oils, botanical extracts, natural seed oils, and natural fragrances are good for the skin. No animal testing: Leaping Bunny Logo and the Certified Vegan Logo assure that no animals are harmed while making body wash.

What the Research Says

The FDA doesn’t define “organic” or “natural” for cosmetics; a product can carry the USDA Organic seal only if its agricultural ingredients meet USDA standards.[3][1] Plant ingredients can still cause allergic reactions, and fragrance is a common cause of skin irritation.[6] Cosmetics can’t legally claim to treat or cure skin conditions; products that do are regulated as drugs.[5]

How We Chose These Products

We don’t test products hands-on. We compared labels and listings: ingredients and fragrance, what any organic claim covers (USDA seal or third-party certification) [7], skin type, and price per ounce. We removed products that were out of stock, no longer listed or recalled, and we checked the brands we list against recent CPSC [8] recall notices in October 2026. Brands don’t pay to be included, though we may earn a commission from purchases.
