Body wash which doesn't suck? (Page 1 of 2)

I know I'll get shit for this but I hate bar soap. I've been burning through a giant stash of Gillette body wash for the last few years, and I'm finally running out. Obviously I don't want to support Gillette's misandry so I'm looking for a replacement. Are there any body washes which don't smell like cheap cologne (ie, axe, old spice, etc) and won't dry out my skin? Bonus if it's not loaded with parabens. |

Neutrogena's Men's Body Washes (they have several) don't stink and are very targeted at skin health. Cremo had a range that while scented are about 20x more pleasant and more adult than AXE or Old Spice. The scents are pretty organic - things like sliver birch, cedar, bourbon vanilla, mint. Everyman Jack is another brand with more adult scents that seems decent - things like Sandalwood, Cedar, etc. If you are stuck with say the selection at Walmart - they do carry Neutrogena and Everyman Jack at most places - Cremo I've had to get off Amazon - but I do think Target carries it. In a pinch Dove Men's body wash is pretty decent/neutral - the scent fades fast. |

Duke Cannon Thick, Buffalo Trace. I smell like whiskey, so no one notices when I've been drinking.  Plus it's nice to my skin, which is a bonus. |

It's not cheap but, it doesn't dry your skin out. Has a mild neutral scent. I swim and the pool chlorine is very drying; this helps. SebaMed |

I've been using the Neutrogena and Cremo for a while now. The Neutrogena (rainbath) is really easy on the skin but the scent is meh. Not bad maybe a bit feminine. The Cremo isn't quite as nice to my skin but I use it almost every day, and it smells great. I still haven't tried the Duke Cannon. |

https://www.stirlingsoap.com/collections/liquid-body-soap Here you go OP. On sale, lightly scented, and that scent is awesome. I bought some for the smell, but it doesn’t have much fragrance added. The soap itself reminds me or Dr. Bronners. |

Having septic we steer clear of bar soap. Cremo is my go to for cheap decent body wash for work days. If not I have a bottle of American Crew which is good and one bottle will last for a few months. For premium body wash I use 18.21 or Pre de Provence no 63. Both are on the pricey side both excellent body washes. |

So you want a bodywash that won't dry out your skin, and isn't full of bad ingredients or harsh chemicals... Easy, get yourself some Dissident Soaps I have found their body-washes to be gentler on the skin and more moisturizing than any of the options offered from Dr. Natural, Dr. Woods, Dr. Teals, or Dr. Bronner's  FYI: Dissident Soaps is an independent small family owned business with exceptional customer service, everything is 100% small batch USA made... not just the soap, but also the bottles, caps, packaging materials, labels, foil seals, etc. are all sourced from US businesses. You might be able to find cheaper body-washes in the stores or online, but you will certainly not find any that are better quality. |
