The 10 Best Moisturizing Body Washes For Men, Tested By a Grooming Editor

This hypoallergenic body wash is packed with ingredients that your skin craves like niacinamide, Vitamins A, C and E and omega fatty acids. This gel blooms into a gentle lather that cleanses your body with ease and leaves skin feeling incredibly hydrated thanks to the natural plant oils in the formula. It also utilizes gentle plant surfactants that clean but never strip your skin, ensuring that it feels smooth and clean but not tight or dry.

This ultra-gentle, fragrance-free body wash is specifically designed to restore super dry skin. It not only contains important moisturizers like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, but there are also three different ceramides in this formula, which help to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier and keep moisture inside the skin where it belongs (instead of evaporating out. Yes, that’s a thing). And because very dry skin can also often be sensitive, it’s free from anything that potentially cause irritation.

This nourishing, creamy wash is formulated not just for very dry skin, but for sensitive skin as well. The addition of prebiotic oats helps to calm irritation and soothe sensitive skin, while nourishing and moisturizing ingredients like glycerin help to impart that all-important moisture. Keep in mind, this has a little bit of added fragrance, but it’s still non-irritating for most cases of sensitive skin.

If you’re a fan of skin-moisturizing hero shea butter, then you’ll love this body wash that’s packed with the stuff. The lather is rich and fragrant (it smells like a rich, creamy vanilla) and the plant-based cleansers work to deep clean your skin without leaving it with a hint of dryness. In fact, this wash is so moisturizing thanks to the shea butter in the formula, you may not even need to use body lotion after your shower.

This incredibly gentle, lightly foaming body wash is specifically formulated for both extra dry and sensitive skin. It contains not only thermal spring water that is soothing and rich in antioxidants (that also contains a patented probiotic that helps bolster the strength of your skin’s microbiome), but also ultra soothing and moisturizing shea butter. It’s the ultimate combination to both impart serious moisture into your skin and help soothe irritation (and prevent it from coming back).

This oil-rich, lightly foaming body wash isn’t just super gentle and ultra moisturizing, but it’s also tailor-made to help soothe especially dry and itchy skin. The formula is packed with omega oils and lipids, which help to instantly soothe itchy skin but also impart much needed moisture to the skin and promote a healthy skin barrier, which helps to control dryness and itch in the long run. It’s also free from anything that could potentially irritate sensitive skin like fragrances and dyes.

Not only is this uber moisturizing body wash packed with great ingredients like glycerin and plant oils, but it’s also rich in aloe vera, which helps to soothe and condition skin leaving it soft as hell. This one hits the exact right balance between cleansing power and moisturization without sacrificing one for the other. Your skin is left deeply clean, but smooth and supple. And yes, there is added fragrance so it may not be perfect for sensitive skin, but most people will find this has more than enough moisturization power to keep their skin from drying out.

When we talk about dry and sensitive skin, we’re often told to avoid fragrance which can be drying and irritating. But those with more mild cases enjoy a little scent in their washes now and again and if you’re one of those people, this body wash is the answer. Come for the luxurious, spa-like fragrance that leaves your skin with just a touch of fresh scent, stay for the ultra-moisturizing formula that contains good-for-your-skin ingredients like moisturizing coconut oil and Vitamins E and B5.
