Body Wash

** As of April 18, 2026, we have switched our 16oz bottles to a smaller neck size. If you ordered your first 16oz bottle of body wash before April 18, 2026, your original pump will no longer fit subsequent refill bottles. The first time you place an order after April 18, please order a NEW BOTTLE so we can send you the correct pump. **

Full of skin-loving, oh-so-moisturizing, natural ingredients, our refillable body wash is the sustainable shower essential you’ve been waiting for. Not only does it smell absolutely amazing, but it’s also gentle enough to not strip your skin while leaving you feeling clean and totally refreshed and ready for the day. Especially if you’ve been on the hunt for a zero waste body wash for sensitive skin - this one’s for you.

Packaging + End of Life

Our all-natural refillable liquid body wash is packaged in an aluminum bottle with a white plastic pump. (Travel size bottles are packaged with an aluminum cap and no pump.)

When you’re running low, order another bottle here, but select “Refill.” We’ll ship your new bottle without a pump - just with an aluminum cap - and we’ll include a return label for your empty one so you can send it back at no cost. Simply transfer your pump to the new bottle, pack the empty bottle in the box, and send it back to us. We’ll sanitize and reuse the bottle.

(If you're within our local delivery radius, just leave your empty bottle on your porch on delivery day!)

Upgrading from 8oz to 16oz bottles? Select the “New Bottles” option so we include new pumps as well!
Don’t want the pump? Just choose the “Refill” option instead!

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.

Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.

It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.

But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.

So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our zero waste refillable body wash  so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:

• We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. In 2022, we saved all of our trash for four months, and wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: in four months, we only produced two pounds of trash. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
• We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.
• We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.

Got more questions about our zero waste products or our practices behind the scenes? Just send us an email! I’m always happy to chat all things eco.
