My Absolute Favorite Body Washes for a Luxury Hotel-Like Experience

Frosted cake scent anyone? If vanilla is your scent of choice, then Pacifica Beauty has the body wash to illuminate your shower in the best possible way. Better yet, it features two different types of vanilla, Tahitian, and bourbon, just incase you are particular about your vanilla preference

This body wash is also infused with hyaluronic acid, an anti-aging godsend, along with antioxidants, plant extracts, lavender, and white tea.

If you're looking for a fruity floral scent, look no further. With white tea extract for elastin for collagen promotion, pine bark extract for circulation, and cocoa extract for hydration, this bottle provides all the fun floral goodies.

Just like the Parisian name intends, Oiau's (which translates to 'yes') St. Bart's body cleanse is nourishing and unassuming. The brand keeps all the bad stuff out, and this option combines the scent of dragonfruit, orange blossom, tuberose, and baltic amber.

Reviewers call it 'luxury at home' and one even claims it's the 'most gorgeous smell you can imagine'.

This body wash is more accurately perfume in a bottle, and that's what I love about it. This Stone & Salt creation is an antioxidant-loaded blend that hydrates and smells, for lack of a better word, divine—thanks to Australian sandalwood and amber up top and middle notes of cedar and orris, to be exact.

It additionally helps regenerate skin courtesy of seaweed extracts and spirulina, and niacinamide has been added to help strengthen the skin’s barrier. Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid works for moisture retention, while blueberry extract and vitamin C for aging protection.

Looking for an environmentally friendly body wash? This Blueland option surprisingly comes in powdered form (and yes, with a reusable bottle). To use it, fill the bottle with the powder, add water, shake, wait ten minutes for the combination to activate, and have some delicate body wash. As it's a reusable boddle, you can buy a refill and repeat the process when you're all out.

It comes in three scents: Waterlily Dew, Coconut Milk and Sandalwood Sage. Plus, as this is a clean brand, each option uses only clean ingredients—only plant and planet-friendly sources are in this formula.

This foamy lather does the trick! It's 96% natural and infused with natural ingredients, including green tea, sugarcane, and aloe vera. The scent is mild but not overwhelming, and the coconut apricot option sounds especially soothing. 

Coconut-derived emollients inside the bottle rinse away the things you don’t want while keeping your skin feeling smooth to the touch.

In case you haven't heard, Youth To The People has somewhat of a cult following and this body wash seems to be no exception. It contains niacinamide, as well as kale and green tea extracts for antioxidant protection. As for the smell, reviewers describe it as fresh, with one reviewer even asking for Youth To The People to make an accompanying perfume to match the smell!

This is what I call a powerhouse wash, complete with AHAs and fruit enzymes, that work to unclog your pores and help keep your skin texture smooth. Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acid blended in tandem with papaya and pineapple enzymes work for gentle exfoliation to eliminate flakey and dirty skin.

As for the scent, top notes of jasmine, mid notes of orange and rose flower, and a base of vanilla, sandalwood, and vetiver create an intoxicating mix. It sounds like a must-have to me, and I'm not alone; one reviewer who had previously given up on scented options due to skin irritation explained that this was just the solution.

This option is loaded with lactic acid for smoother-looking skin, polyglutamic acid for hydration, and salicylic acid to clear out clogged pores, so consider it a do-it-all wash. The scent is a combination of orange, jasmine, patchouli, and almond and the result, according to reviewers, is incredibly smooth skin!

This French-looking pick from Maison Margiela managed to combine a gentle and clean wash wirth an uber-pleasant aroma to match. Boasting smells of florals such as iris and lily, it is designed to evoke the scent of freshly washed sheets. The body wash is on more of a lightweight side, ideal for hot summer months or body showers.

Calling all orange juice lovers! Tree to Tub’s Moisturizing Soapberry Body Wash (this one in Citrus Splash) is lovely if you can't get enough of a freshly cut orange smell. This cleanser is great for virtually all skin types, even sensitive skin, thanks to its pH balance and keeps sulfates, parabens, and harsh chemicals off the ingredient list. It’s also hypoallergenic, in case you need a little extra sensitivity.

Want to (or need to) relax? When it comes to body washes, this might just be the best for some R&R-like vibes. It has an undeniable freshness from eucalyptus and top-notch ingredients, including niacinamide, vitamins C-E, and omegas 6-9; you can trust that this wash will keep that skin of yours in tip-top shape.

The cost might be up there, but the experience seems to be worth every penny!

Tatcha’s (one of Meghan Markle's go-to brands) Forest Awakening’s wash is a unique blend of essential oils that claim to leave you with a calm mind and lifted mood. Reviewers say there are very few cons, the packaging is pretty, and that a little goes a long way!

This affordable pick doesn’t skimp on quality. At the time of writing, it maintains a 4.5-star rating on Amazon, with close to 600 reviews. Monday body wash has a floral gardenia scent, and thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, shea butter, coconut oil, and grapefruit extract, it can be used daily.

The brand describes it as 'Smelling like a spring day,' and reviewers don't disagree.

This unique body wash is made entirely from oils—including olive and babassu—and has sea salt to help thicken the base. The scent is a combo of rosemary, sage, lavender, and eucalyptus, which reviewers note smells amazing and fresh. As a bonus, it comes in a recyclable aluminum container.

This skin-friendly pick has a 5.0 pH, meaning yes, even you with sensitive skin can enjoy it! The wash features passion fruit oil to moisturize, and a multi-amino acid blend to further strengthen and moisturize the skin.

Is it a 10 out of 10? One reviewer rates this as '100000000000000000000000000000000000/10' and claims it's 'completely underrated'

Want your next morning next pick-me-up? Coffee it is! This exfoliating scrub will leave your skin feeling soft and supple, giving it all the hydration it needs for a healthy glow.

It's free of parabens and sulfate-based surfactants, making it an ideal choice even for sensitive skin. Even better, the listing has over 50K reviews and you can get a 3-pack for under $25.

This bottle speaks volumes, and the ingredients are sufficiently up to par! If you weren’t aware, Chanel also makes a few different shower gels, and perhaps the best of the lot is Paris – Biarritz.

It has a subtle scent of mandarin mixed with the lily of the valley, which to me smells like a dip in the ocean off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

If you’re familiar with Moroccanoil's hair products, you know just how enticing the scent profiles can be. This body wash is specifically a gel and geared toward hydration, thanks to argan oil, which improves antioxidant-loaded elasticity. Meanwhile, the smell is a mixture of spicy amber, musk, and florals. 

This pick is a bit pricy, but I'd say it's worth the investment. Aesop’s Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser will leave you smelling of fresh citrus fruit. It is a succulent combination of geranium leaf and the rinds of mandarin and bergamot fruits.

As we would expect from Aesop, this wash is vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. The brand is also dedicated to the quality of its products, using only the best plant- and laboratory-based ingredients with a proven track record of safety and efficacy.

Such a tried-and-true brand but still a favorite (more like a cult favorite among body wash aficionados)! The Rainbath from Neutrogena provides a thick, creamy lather and a fragrant scent based on spices, fruits, and herbs—all well worth taking a whiff.

This deeply cleansing bath really gets in there to wash away bacteria and help prevent body acne. As a plus, if you used it in high school, you'll get a nostalgia kick.

Want to kick-start your morning? Tone’s Brazilian Glam’s exotic, island-inspired scent does just that! It features a tropical Maracujá fruit and oil from Brazil nuts to aid hydration.

Of note, this pick contains sulfates, so if you have sensitive skin, you might want to be careful with it. Overall, it's an affordable option with nearly 3,000 reviews, and reviewers cannot stop raving about this scent!
