One option for a shower gel in Spanish is the Avena Instituto Español Shower Gel, which is advertised as moisturizing and softening, and contains 100% natural oat. Another option is the Sanex BiomeProtect Dermo Moisturising Shower Gel, which is designed to give the skin a hydration boost and enhance its natural moisturization. It has been dermatologically tested, contains 0% sulfates, and respects the skins natural pH.

Ingredients in shower gels can vary, and some may contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to the environment and skin. However, shower gels generally consist of the same basic ingredients as soap, such as water, betaines, and sodium laureth sulfate (SLS). The main difference between the two products lies in the surfactants, which are compounds that lower the surface tension between substances and help in the emulsification and washing away of oily dirt. Shower gels use surfactants that do not come from saponification, and can contain multiple surfactants to achieve desired product qualities. Other ingredients may be added to thicken, preserve, emulsify, add fragrance, and color the product. Conditioning agents may also be added to moisturize the skin during and after product use.

Positive aspects of shower gels include their ability to cleanse the skin and provide nourishing ingredients that moisturize and protect the skin from dryness. However, some shower gels may contain chemicals that can cause dryness, irritation, and harm to the skin, such as propylene glycol.

In summary, when choosing a shower gel, it is important to read the labels and choose a product with high-quality ingredients that will benefit the skin.
