Body Wash Brands by Ingredients and Ownership

Unilever completed its acquisition of Dr. Squatch in September 2025; its 2025 financial statements put the price at €1,243 million for 98.7% of the shares. Nubian Heritage went to Unilever via the Sundial Brands acquisition. If you want a body wash from a brand that's still independent and uses genuinely clean ingredients, here are your best options.
