The Top Bodycare Products of 2025

      Locating the ideal lotion, deodorant, or body wash is a more challenging endeavor than one might expect. Our team of testers immersed their hands, legs, and arms in numerous formulas to identify 11 standout products that won't leave your skin feeling dry, greasy, or lackluster.

      **Best Scented Body Wash**

      *Cyklar*

      Sensorial Body Wash in Sacred Santal

      When searching for a new body wash, it often feels like a choice between an enticing fragrance and effective skincare. Fortunately, the beauty gods smiled upon us when we discovered the Cyklar Sensorial Body Wash. This multi-oil formulation left our skin exceptionally soft between showers, thanks to its rich combination of sodium PCA, fatty acid water, and glycerin. Its captivating woody aroma transformed our showers into an experience reminiscent of a luxurious five-star spa.

      **Best Unscented Body Wash**

      *Naturium*

      Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash

      While we appreciate a delightful fragrance, even the faintest scent can be overwhelming for very sensitive skin. The unscented body wash from Naturium impressed us with its easy-lather formula, remarkable hydration, and a clean sensation that never made us feel stripped. Its strong performance stems from a blend of moisturizing glycerin, hydrating squalane, and nourishing linoleic-rich acids, which not only left our skin soft but also gave it a lovely glow.

      **Best Lotion**

      *Oak Essentials*

      Luminous Body Lotion

      This year has undoubtedly been significant for body care, making the selection of the best body lotion quite a task (but a welcome one, nonetheless). We were particularly drawn to this luxurious baby-blue lotion because of its deeply hydrating formula that manages to feel light, its beneficial ingredient profile providing anti-aging properties, and its soothing lavender scent that enhanced our nighttime routines. Why experts admire it: "Oak Essentials Luminous Body Lotion is excellent not only for nourishing and hydrating the skin but also for soothing inflammation. The formula contains blue tansy, rich in antioxidants, to improve skin health and reduce inflammation, combined with rose oil for hydration. It absorbs quickly without leaving the skin tacky or greasy and is easy to wear throughout the day." — Corey L. Hartman, MD, Dermatologist and Founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Alabama.

      **Best Body Butter**

      *Tronque*

      Firming Body Butter

      French skincare has a unique touch, and this sentiment holds true for body care—particularly with Tronque and its luxurious firming body butter. While we often approach firming products with skepticism, this blend of revitalizing ingredients genuinely fulfills its promises to enhance texture. We noticed a significant boost in hydration and skin elasticity, while fine lines were smoothed, skin was plumped, and tone was evened after regular use.

      **Best Exfoliating Body Treatment**

      You may be familiar with chemical peel facials, but these exfoliating body towelettes proved just as effective as a high-end spa treatment. Each glycolic and salicylic acid-infused sheet gently provided our skin with a tone- and texture-evening treatment, delivering a potent mix of vitamin K, bilberry, and caffeine to reduce the visibility of keratosis pilaris, body acne, and ingrown hairs. The best part? No rinsing was required afterward, but we made sure to apply our favorite sunscreens.

      **Best Deodorant**

      Transitioning from our reliable stick deodorants to this creamy formula raised some doubts among us, but we were collectively amazed by the sweat-resistant, odor-blocking capabilities of this aluminum-free deodorant. Unlike some natural deodorants that necessitate a transitional phase for your body to expel toxins from conventional formulas, we skipped that step with this odor-fighting balm. Its botanical-rich formula nourishes the skin, and its recyclable packaging makes it a smart choice for both your body and the environment.

      **Best Self-Tanning Lotion**

      *Lux Unfiltered*

      N°32 Gradual Tanning Cream in Santal

      In our fast-paced lives, who has time for an eight-hour self-tan mousse? Clearly, not us editors or our panel of judges, which is why we were so impressed by this santal-scented body lotion that gradually achieves a natural bronze without transferring onto clothing. We loved the sun-kissed glow it delivered, but we particularly appreciated how dewy and soft it left our skin. Packed with cocoa and shea butters, squalane, and avocado and passionfruit oils, it’s no surprise our skin looked so radiant after using this cream.

      **Best Glow-Enhancing Body Sunscreen**

      *Vacation*

      Classic Whip Glow SPF 30

      We're always on the lookout for that perfect glow, and summer is when we crave it most. This luminous sunscreen stands out not only for its unique packaging (a whipped cream can, really?) but also for its impressive array of skin-friendly ingredients (coconut and banana extracts
