How it works

Washes off the dirt. Leaves the barrier!

Harsh detergents can’t tell dirt from your skin’s protective moisture layer, so they rinse both away and leave your skin bare. We don’t do that. Our gentle coconut cleansers and activated charcoal take the dirt off while the moisture layer stays in place and keeps water from evaporating out of your skin.

REGULAR BODY WASH WITH HARSH DETERGENTS

The lather scrubs off the dirt and the protective lipid layer with it. Your skin squeaks after the shower because it’s bare, and tiny cracks open up in the dried-out top layer.

SOS BODY WASH

Activated charcoal picks up the dirt and carries it away, while the moisture layer stays untouched. Your barrier is still intact after the shower.

Eczema body wash texture: close-up of dark gray SOS Body Wash gel with bubbles
Texture

A gentle gel, a modest lather.

Dark gray, almost black, with a natural scent. The lather is light on purpose: big foam means strong detergents, not a better clean.

→A walnut-sized amount is enough for your whole body.
→The charcoal color disappears in the lather and won’t stain your tub.
→If you’re used to lots of foam, it’ll feel strange for the first few days.

How to use it

step one
SHAKE + squeeze into your palm

A walnut-sized amount is enough for your whole body. The lather is light, and that’s on purpose.

step two
Wash and rinse well

Use your hand, not a sponge. Keep the water lukewarm, not hot.

step three
Pat dry, don’t rub

While your skin is still damp, apply lotion or SOS Ointment right away. That’s when it works best.

INGREDIENTS · INCI

Kind ingredients for calm, comfortable skin

This is a wash that doesn’t leave your skin tight or uncomfortable. Coconut cleansers wash gently, aloe vera soothes the look of redness, glycerin holds on to moisture and activated charcoal carries the grime away. No fillers, no fragrance, just ingredients that actually do something for your skin. Tap any of them and we’ll tell you what it does.

01 Water Aqua BASE +

The base of every body wash. Ours has less water than most, so the gel is thicker and you use less of it.

02 Coconut cleanser Coco-Glucoside GENTLE CLEANSING +

Our main cleanser, made from coconut and sugar. It takes the dirt with it and barely touches your skin’s natural oils. That’s why your skin doesn’t feel tight or squeaky after a shower.

03 Glycerin Glycerin HOLDS WATER +

A humectant: it binds water to your skin and keeps it there even after you rinse. Part of the difference between “clean” skin and “dried-out” skin.

04 Coconut sulfate Sodium Coco-Sulfate CLEANSES +

Makes sure the wash also removes oily grime and leftover cream. It isn’t SLS or SLES: the molecule is larger and much kinder to skin, and we only use a small amount.

05 Sea salt Sodium Chloride THICKNESS +

Plain salt. It sets the thickness of the gel so it doesn’t run off your palm and you use less.

06 Preservative Phenoxyethanol KEEPS THE FORMULA SAFE +

Body wash is a water-based formula that sits in a warm, steamy bathroom. Without a preservative it would be risky after a few weeks. Phenoxyethanol is one of the best-studied preservatives, and at the permitted level it’s considered safe even for kids’ products.

07 Glyceryl oleate Glyceryl Oleate SOFTENS +

A lipid made from oleic acid. While you wash, some of it settles on your skin and softens the effect of the cleansers. So the gel cleans without stripping.

08 Acacia gum Acacia Senegal Gum TEXTURE +

A natural resin that gives the gel a soft, cushiony feel and helps bind water to your skin.

09 Xanthan gum Xanthan Gum TEXTURE +

A plant-based thickener. Instead of synthetic polymers, it holds the gel together and keeps the ingredients from separating.

10 Ethylhexylglycerin Ethylhexylglycerin KEEPS THE FORMULA SAFE +

Supports the preservative so less of it is needed, and also works as a softener. It also helps cut down on unpleasant body odor.

11 Aloe vera Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder SOOTHES +

Aloe juice in dried form, so we can put more of it in the gel. A classic for soothing the look of irritated, red skin, and one of the reasons even very sensitive skin gets along with this wash.

12 Activated charcoal Charcoal Powder TRAPS GRIME +

Our signature ingredient. Charcoal is full of microscopic pores that trap dirt and excess oil and rinse it all away with the water. That’s how the gel cleans well without harsh detergents.

13 Citric acid Citric Acid pH +

In trace amounts. It brings the gel’s pH down close to your skin’s natural pH, where your skin and its microbiome feel most at home.

SOS Body Wash FAQ

Why does it barely lather?+

Because foam isn’t cleaning power, it’s a feeling. Big foam comes from harsh detergents that wash away your skin’s protective layer along with the dirt. Our gel cleans with gentler coconut cleansers. There’s less foam, but the dirt still comes off.

Can I use it on my hair?+

Yes, it’s fine for washing hair now and then, especially for kids. If you have a dry or itchy scalp, SOS Shampoo is the better pick.

Is it okay for babies?+

Yes, from 3 months of age. No fragrance, no dyes, no SLS or SLES. A couple of big drops is plenty for bath time.

Can I wash my face with it?+

Yes. We suggest once a day at most, ideally in the evening. It’s especially nice for acne-prone skin.

Why is the gel so dark?+

That’s the activated charcoal, not dye. The color disappears in the lather and doesn’t leave any trace on your skin.
