Shower Gels

In a shared bathroom, the shower gel on the shelf has to please people whose skin and favourite scents can differ quite a lot. We stock perfumed bath and shower elixirs alongside men's gels, including a 3-in-1 that washes hair and body together. Everyone under the same roof can still have a gel of their own!

Shower gel vs body wash

Gels usually have a jelly-like texture and a stronger scent, whereas a body wash tends to be thinner and creamier, though the names often overlap. A shower gel can go beyond washing and add a touch of body care, like OnlyBio Body In Balance Pistachio. Its pistachio oil leaves the skin feeling nourished and softened, and the gel smells of creamy pistachio.

Perfumed bath and shower elixirs

Farmona Forget Me Not Summer Evening and First Kiss work as a perfumed shower gel on damp skin in the morning. In the evening, use either one as a bath oil and pour 25 ml into the tub under warm running water. Summer Evening smells of melon, lily of the valley and nutmeg, and its formula adds saffron and smoothing ceramides. First Kiss, made to a vegan recipe, has notes of geranium, rose and musk.

Farmona, which makes the Forget Me Not elixirs, is a Polish brand, like OnlyBio and Joanna, the makers of our other shower gels.

What is a 3-in-1 shower gel for men?

This kind of gel is a single product that washes the hair, face and body, like Joanna Power Men Shampoo And Shower Gel 3 In 1. Its formula contains hydromanil, a natural moisturiser, and allantoin. When time is short or you wash at the gym, this men's shower gel saves you a separate shampoo. It keeps the basics of men's grooming down to one bottle. The Power Men Energy gel, with black pepper and guarana extracts, has an invigorating fragrance.

Which shower gel suits dry skin?

Dry skin usually does best with a gel that contains oil or other moisturising ingredients, plus a short, lukewarm shower. Of our gels, OnlyBio Body In Balance Pistachio uses pistachio oil to restore smoothness and proper hydration. In Farmona Forget Me Not First Kiss, peony and cornflower extracts moisturise and smooth the skin, with provitamin B5 for extra moisture.

Gentle, perfumed or 3-in-1 shower gel?

You can keep all three, each in its own place. A gentle gel stays on the shower shelf for every day, and a perfumed elixir stands by the bath for the evening. The 3-in-1 goes into your wash bag whenever you travel. Put body oils and lotions next to your towel, ready for the moment you step out of the shower.
