General Information

Refresh and Nourish with Skipper’s Body Wash

There’s nothing like a shower to freshen yourself up, and Skipper body wash is the perfect addition to your routine to leave you feeling all brand new. Whether you’re a morning showerer, prefer the evenings or like to double up, discover the luxurious lather that our body wash offers and enhance your self-care routine.

Why Skipper Body Wash?

There’s a lot to love about our body wash. It’s gentle for all skin types, wonderfully foamy and smells incredible, too. And, just like the rest of our range, it’s designed to be bought once and refilled for life, saving you money and reducing single-use plastic. Our starter kits have options for all households, from a sampler kit when you want to test our products first to family kits for homes with extra bathrooms. 
 

Non-toxic Ingredients for Healthier Skin

We wanted to create a body wash that would be perfect for all bodies and skin types, so we formulated ours with gentle but effective ingredients. With cleansing ingredients that wash the day away from your skin without stripping it, you’ll leave the shower feeling fresh and clean without the dry feeling that conventional soap can leave. We also added in some vitamin E and aloe vera to help lock in that moisture. 

 

Invigorating Scents for a Luxurious Shower

Along with gentle formulations and ingredients, we also added just the right amount of essential oils to give you beautifully scented foam. Whether you opt for the citrussy and woodsy blend of grapefruit, cedar and rosalina, or the floral notes of jacaranda, neroli and geranium, you’ll leave the shower feeling refreshed. 

 

Suitable for All Skin Types

The nature of our skin can be variable, even across seasons, so making a body wash that would work for everyone every day of the year was essential. Whether your skin is sensitive or tends to be a little oily in some spots and dry in others, our body wash will get you clean without compromising the delicate balance your skin needs to maintain.

Benefits of Skipper’s Body Wash

If you’re looking for a body wash that smells fantastic, is gentle but effective, and is better for the planet, you’ll love ours. There's no need to lather up—Skipper body wash comes out of the dispenser already wonderfully foamy and ready to apply to your skin. It’s affordable, easy to refill and looks beautiful in your shower, too. 

 

Moisturising and Hydrating Formula

To make sure your skin feels clean without feeling stripped, our formulation has just the right blend of cleansing agents that are balanced out with skin-loving ingredients. From soothing aloe to hydrating vitamin E, getting clean has never felt so good. 

 

Free of Harsh Chemicals

Skipper body wash is a world-first innovation that was created here in Australia. We wanted to do away with the unnecessary filler ingredients and harsh chemicals that can strip your skin of its natural barrier. There’s no triclosan, phthalates, or parabens, making for a more soothing body wash that’s better for your skin and grey water safe to boot. Our fragrances are created from Australian essential oils, giving you that more natural and mild scent that’s refreshing but not irritating. 

 

Eco-Friendly Packaging Options

When you get your Skipper body wash, you’ll get a beautiful velvety-finish pump dispenser for your body wash and a humidity-proof tin to keep all your refills in. While we love the luxurious look and feel of glass, we opted for HDPE recycled plastic for our body wash bottles to avoid any mishaps if things get knocked over in the shower! 

 

These dispensers are resilient, beautiful to look at, and highly functional—designed to be refilled again and again. Our body wash refills are wrapped in compostable paper, which can be disposed of in your compost bin or the regular rubbish, making for an exceptionally low-waste option for your bathroom.

Tips for Using Body Wash in Your Skincare Routine

Skipper body wash couldn’t be easier to use. Once you’ve filled the dispenser with hot water, unwrapped your refill, and dropped it in, an hour later it’ll be fully dissolved and ready to use. Most adults would use around six pumps per shower, and you can use the same technique as with any other soap or body wash. Apply it directly to your skin, to a loofah, or a washcloth—whichever you prefer!

Standard FAQs

How does foaming body wash compare to a gel wash?

We've developed a foaming product that cleans and nourishes your skin just like a regular quality body wash. It's gentle on the skin (without being drying), and a highly effective cleanser. One of the reasons we choose to create foaming products is their ability to moderate consumption. Each pump mixes the soap solution with air to create a lovely foam, using fewer active ingredients than traditional gels. You'll need a few more pumps than usual (typically 6-8 for the average adult) and will consume it faster, but overall the price remains more affordable than a comparible gel body wash—with a 500ml refill costing only $4.67-$5 each.

Oh and the biggest reason of them all, lathering yourself with our silky foam just feels great! Once you go foam, you won't go back.

Is the foaming body wash suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely! Our foaming body wash has been formulated with sensitive skin in mind. Specifically, it has a gentle formulation containing mild surfactants that effectively clean without stripping the skin's natural oils. If you’re unsure, you can read genuine reviews from other Skippers on the product pages.

How does it work?

In five easy steps you'll have a full bottle of foaming body wash:

1. Fill the dispenser with hot water from the tap.

2. Drop in a refill tablet.

3. Leave the pump off while it dissolves, typically about an hour.

4. Dispose the wrapper in the compost bin or regular trash.

5. Shake to activate before first use. This is important to ensure the solution is mixed properly.

That's it! Pump into your hands and lather up (the average adult uses 6-8 pumps per wash)

Pro tip: A foaming product uses less active ingredients versus a gel per pump. This means you'll consume a bottle of foaming soap faster than a gel—approximately every ~4 weeks if used twice daily by a single person.

Our refills are only $4.67-$5 each and remain better value overall when comparing to quality brands and traditional gel products.

Is Skipper body wash septic and greywater safe?

Yes, our body wash is considered septic and grey water safe, including for use with enviro septic systems. This is why we specifically avoid "anti-bacterial ingredients". In fact, all our products are septic and grey water-safe.

Our ingredients are reviewed internally for known hazards to our environment, waterways, longevity of septic systems (harsher chemicals can wear components) and of course, exposure to humans and pets at home.

How much does it cost to refill?
