All-Natural Beauty: Shower Time

Written By Madison Bai

What is the most important part of every pageant girl’s beauty routine? Showering of course! Our body is a temple, as they say, so why not make sure to take good care of it? The ingredients in our shower products are absorbed into our scalp and skin. Thus, we want to make sure that those products are as organic and natural as possible. Here below are the top organic and all natural shampoos & conditioners, body washes, and shaving creams! So suds up and enjoy! :)

Shampoo and Conditioner:

1.    John Masters (Rosemary Lavender) 

John Masters has a wide range of products for different hair types (e.g., dry, normal, color-treated, etc.); is paraben free (DEAs, MEAs, and other sulfates); and uses many high quality ingredients. Many liked this brand for its lightweight formula and pleasant scent.

The Rosemary Lavender one is great for strengthening fine hair. The product is supposed to help with hair loss, thus increasing volume. Furthermore, this product is certified organic by QAI and is cruelty-free. Any pageant girl can feel confident in the quality of this product!

2.    Avalon Organics (Rosemary Volumizing/ Biotin B Complex)

This product was loved for its ability to deep clean the scalp without the use of harsh chemicals (It’s made from 100% organic ingredients and essential oils). Furthermore, reviewers loved the brand’s variety of scents. The Rosemary Volumizing formula gave hair new, voluminous life and made hair smell fabulous. Rosemary is naturally good for the hair, while olive oil hydrates and gives it a healthy shine. The Biotin B Complex helps thinning hair by making it thicker and stronger. Vitamin B5 protects hair from damage, and other B vitamins aid in hair growth. Both are perfect for the pageant girl that wants strong, voluminous hair!

3.    Aubrey Organics (Honeysuckle Rose Moisturizing)

This brand was great for curly haired girls because it is a superb moisturizer. Furthermore, it is also certified USDA Organic, NPA, and BDIH. The Honeysuckle Rose left hair moisturized and wonderfully smooth. Additionally, it had a nice, light scent. Furthermore, all of the ingredients that made the brand smell good also contribute to giving hair shine, while moisturizing it. This product is great for those with dry hair that need extra moisture without it feeling greasy or oily. All curly-haired pageant girls, here is your number one organic shampoo and conditioner!

 4.    Runners Up: Max Green Alchemy & Kiss My Face

Max Green Alchemy is one of our runner’s up because of its organic ingredients and scalp-saving reputation. Also, unlike most organic shampoos it produces a nice lather. Only a small amount is needed to wash hair, and the results are great! It helps to treat dry, itchy scalp and works on all hair types.

Kiss My Face is our second runner up because of its amazing smell (akin to fresh limes) and ability to thoroughly cleanse hair minus the harsh chemicals. It is 100% organic and cruelty-free. This brand adds volume and shine to thin hair giving it body. Foremost, it effectively removes excess oil, great for those with oily scalps!

Body Wash: 

1.    Dr. Bronner’s Organic

This bottle is a definite multi-tasker. Not only can it act as your everyday body wash, but it can also be your dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, and shampoo! But have no fear; this does not mean the product is harsh. In fact, all of the ingredients are USDA-certified organic. Still worried? Dr. Bronner’s also has Organic Hand & Body Shikakai Soap Baby Unscented, which is a gentle cleanser for the skin. Skin will feel not only clean, but also moisturized. It has a nice, earthy scent. For a pageant girl on the go, it is a no frills product that gets the job done!

2.    Trader Joe’s Refresh Citrus Body Wash with Vitamin C

This is the body wash that I use everyday. I love its light citrusy scent and its list of all natural ingredients. It effectively cuts through dirt and grime leaving me feeling clean and fresh. It gets the job done, smells good, and the price isn’t half bad either! A good pick for a pageant girl on a budget!

Shaving Cream:

1.    Pacific Shaving Company

This is one of the top 100% organic shaving creams that I encountered during my search (organic shaving creams appear to be an under-served market). It has a light, fresh scent and is cruelty-free! It gave ladies a close shave without the razor burn, and left them with smooth, soft skin. Another cool bonus? Every purchase plants a tree! So you can be Eco-friendly in more than your list of ingredients! Plus they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. What more could a pageant girl ask for?

2.    Trader Joe’s Moisturizing Cream Shave Honey Mango

Whenever I shaved my legs I used to always get razor burn (i.e., nasty red bumps and dry skin). Turns out all the shaving creams I used were super drying. I was eventually turned onto this one, and absolutely fell in love. If you’re used to foam shaving cream this is definitely different. It has a creamy, rich formula that makes shaving much more gentle on the skin. Your legs will feel moisturized and smooth minus any razor burn. A definite must considering it also has a nice list of all-natural ingredients and is cruelty-free!
