Best budget shower gel

Sadly can't afford the likes of Molton Brown & White Company any more. Had been using radox but it seems to be half water with very little lather any more.

We swapped to soap a few years ago. Less plastic and lasts longer. I like goats milk soap.

Floofydawg · 19/07/2023 08:26

Don't really want soap, it's too messy.

The Palmolive honey and milk is my favourite cheapie

Passmeaplacard · 19/07/2023 08:35

I’ve always found Dove to be decent

Peony654 · 19/07/2023 08:38

Dove soap bars are nice and no plastic

Lottapianos · 19/07/2023 08:38

The new Imperial Leather shower gels are GORGEOUS. Smell amazing, lovely packaging, good lather. Only about £2

Also love Original Source

In Germany Rossman's own brand Isana is very good, lots of flavours under 1 Euro.

BlairWaldorfOG · 19/07/2023 08:42

I like soap too use a soap net which saves the mess. Otherwise Original Source is nice.

SpeckledlyHen · 19/07/2023 08:45

The waitrose own brand ones for about 95p are great. 3 smells, grapefruit, chamomile and sea breeze (or something like that). Very nice smelling and very good lather. I do have Molton brown and white company but actually just use the cheapies day to day and don’t notice the difference really.

Oh I found radox awful I've changed to Palmolive which is about £1.50 in Savers. If not tesco own is fine.

Lottapianos · 19/07/2023 08:51

Actually, Sainsburys own brand really good too

BIWI · 19/07/2023 08:55

Aldi's Kick Start is really good - and only 55p! Currently using the coconut & lychee one, but also have the mango one too. (It's basically a dupe of Original Source)

anonymousnotyourbusiness · 19/07/2023 08:57

Aldi makes?

wutheringkites · 19/07/2023 09:05

I second Waitrose own brand, they smell great for the price.

HaveYouHeardOfARoadAtlas · 19/07/2023 09:07

Treacle Moon brand. Better than Molton Brown and cheap

gogomoto · 19/07/2023 09:34

The line one from lidl

kittykarate · 19/07/2023 10:13

I like Faith in Nature ones, but they're more mid-price than bargain price. The lavender and geranium one lathers great and a strong fragrance.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 19/07/2023 10:17

Like a PP, I love this one. It smells gorgeous, lathers nicely and is cheap!

Superdrug vit e one is very foamy. I got 2 for 1

Movinghouseatlast · 19/07/2023 10:41

'Make' your own. I buy unfragranced shower gel in 5 litre bottles which I decant and I add essential oil to. My favourites are geranium and orange or jasmine and neroli. I do the same with hand soap.

Or Faith In Nature do 5 litre bottles which you can find on offer.

scrivette · 19/07/2023 10:46

Imperial Leather has always been nice and Original Source are very refreshing in the summer.

Second this, and they're on offer in Waitrose currently.

Mrsjayy · 19/07/2023 11:01

I found imperial leather quite oily I nearly slipped in the shower so buyer beware 😄

overitallll · 19/07/2023 11:05

Aldi version of Sanex - it's really nice and very reasonable!
