No Nasty Business Here: Non-Toxic Natural Body Wash

Let’s be real: most body washes are a cocktail of harsh detergents, synthetic fillers, and cheap fragrance. Even many so-called “natural” products still rely on ingredients that do more harm than good.  

TheraWash Naturals™ Relax Body Wash is different. It’s 100% plant-based, vegan, and free from every nasty you’ve learned to avoid. But even more than that, it’s designed to help you slow down and create a moment of calm in the chaos of everyday life.  Because showering should never be just another task on your to-do list, it should be a ritual that restores you. The feel of the water...the scent of your body care...bliss!

Your skin deserves a clean slate, not a chemical overload. That’s why we stand by:

• 100% Plant-Based – Pure, plant-powered goodness. No weird chemicals—just nature doing its thing.  
• No Sulphates SLS/SLES (Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), Sodium laureth sulphate (SLES)) – These harsh foaming detergents strip your skin’s natural oils like a bad breakup. Dry, tight, and irritated skin? No thanks!  
• No Parabens – Sneaky, cheap preservatives used to extend shelf life that are linked to inner health imbalance and skin irritation. Your body deserves balance, not interference!  
• No Phthalates – Hidden chemical troublemakers used to make fragrances last longer, that throw your hormones off track. We’ll pass.  
• No PEGs (Polyethylene Glycols) – Science-y name for compounds to thicken formulas, but they can be contaminated with potentially carcinogenic chemicals. Hard no.  
• No PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) – A toxic mouthful of industrial “forever chemicals” used to create a water-resistant coating for ‘smooth skin feel’ that builds up in your body over time, linked to health issues and inner balance disruption. Why is this even a thing in personal care?!   
• No Synthetic ‘Fragrances’ or ‘Parfum – Fancy words for “mystery chemicals,” cheap, fake, and often derived from petroleum. Can trigger allergies, headaches, and skin irritation. We prefer the real deal, pure essential oils only, baby! 
• No Artificial Colours – No skin-irritating fake, synthetic hues that serve no purpose except looking pretty. Just naturally radiant results. Because your skin doesn’t need artificial enhancements.  
• No Coal Tar – A byproduct of coal processing used in some body washes for psoriasis and eczema, but linked to skin irritation and may increase the risk of cancer. Geez!!!
• No Silicones – Gives a fake ‘silky’ feel while creating buildup over time, like plastic wrap, leaving clogged pores and skin suffocated. Silicone-based compounds build up and linger in your body, leading to system disruption over time. Hard pass.  
• No Triclosan – A toxic antibacterial agent used in cheap body washes that messes with your inner balance and has been detected in bodily fluids, including urine! Absolutely not in our bottles!  
• No Formaldehyde & Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives – Hidden toxins used in cheap formulas that are linked to skin irritation and potential long-term health risks. If it’s used to embalm things, it shouldn’t be in your body wash.  
• No Petrochemicals – Harsh ingredients derived from petroleum belong in your car, not on your skin. Enough said.  
• No Mineral Oils – These sneaky heavy oils, derived from petroleum, can clog your pores, leaving skin dull and congested while preventing natural moisture balance. Pass, we like to keep things flowing naturally.  
• No Animal Testing (Cruelty-Free & Vegan) – We test on willing humans, not innocent animals. Because kindness matters and beauty should never come at the expense of our furry friends.  
• No Animal Derivatives – 100% vegan, 100% ethical, 100% awesome.  
• No Harsh Detergents – Say no to skin-stripping soaps and yes to a gently cleansed, happy body without stripping your skin’s natural balance.  
• No Propylene Glycol – Used as a humectant (moisture-retaining agent) and has been linked to dermatitis, allergies, and even skin sensitivity. Why on earth is this in ANY body wash?!  
• No MEA/DEA/TEA (Ethanolamines) – Sounds like a bad chemistry experiment? That’s because it is. Cheap, harsh foaming agents that may lead to long-term toxicity. Keep these out of your routine.  
• No EDTA – A synthetic stabilising ingredient that disrupts your skin’s natural barrier. We’ll stick with ingredients that actually help, thanks.  
• No BHA and BHT – Synthetic preservatives with hormone-disrupting tendencies? Not on our watch.  

Because what you put on your body matters. And we make sure it’s only the good stuff!

How to use:

• Can be used in the shower or bath!
• Step into relaxation mode – Wet your skin with warm water and take a deep breath. This isn’t just body wash; it’s your daily moment of calm. 
• Lather up – Apply TheraWash Naturals™ Relax Body Wash to a sponge, loofah, or your hands and massage onto your skin. Feel the creamy, botanical lather gently cleanse without stripping away natural moisture. (Note that you get more lather with a loofah rather than rubbing your hands together, so if you love your foam, use the loofah for the extra bubble experience!)
• Breathe it in – Let the calming blend of Lavender, Bergamot, and Rose Geranium fill the air as you take a deep, restorative inhale.
• Rinse away the worries – Wash off, and with it, the worries of the day, leaving your skin soft, fresh, and rejuvenated. 
• Suitable for daily use in the shower or bath. 
• For the best relaxing results, use with TheraWash Relax Shampoo and Conditioner. 

Pro Tip: Turn your shower or bath into a mini spa moment by turning down the lights, adding a candle, or simply slowing down and enjoying the experience. 

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Patch test before use if you have sensitive skin. 

Safe for the whole family, even the little ones, because their skin deserves the good stuff too. Great for kids' relaxing bedtime bath! 

Gentle enough for little hands (and big peace of mind).

Children's skin is more delicate and absorbent than adults’, which makes it more vulnerable to harsh chemicals and synthetic nasties. That’s why our TheraWash Naturals™ Relax Body Wash is safe for kids. It’s 100% plant-based, toxin-free, and made with ingredients that cleanse gently, without compromising their growing bodies. It's a safe, nourishing choice for the whole family, and especially those little hands you care most about. Because gentle should never mean compromised.

The Transition Phase: What to Expect When Switching to Natural Body Wash

Your skin is in for a treat, but like any good change, there’s a short adjustment period! If you’re switching from a synthetic body wash filled with sulphates, silicones, and artificial moisturisers, your skin might take a couple of weeks to recalibrate and start nourishing itself naturally again. 

Here’s what you might notice:

• Skin feeling a little drier or tighter – This is just your skin adjusting to real moisture instead of synthetic fillers that coat your skin.
• A slight increase in oil production – Your skin is re-learning how to balance its own hydration levels.
• Breakouts or rough patches – Your body and skin is detoxing and purging built-up residue from conventional washes.

How long does it last? Most people adjust within a week, but trust the process! Once your skin finds its balance, you’ll experience:

Naturally hydrated, nourished skin, without fake, waxy coatings, as your skin’s natural balance shines.

A softer, smoother feel as your skin starts working with your body, not against it.

Less irritation and more glow, hello, healthy skin barrier!

Pro Tip: Exfoliate once a week with a natural scrub or a gentle dry brush to help remove old product buildup and encourage fresh, radiant skin! Your body will thank you. 

Because clean skin should feel light, fresh, and truly nourished, not coated in chemicals!
