The difference between bar soap, shower gel, and body wash

  • Bar soap. A bar of soap is a solid chunk of cleanser traditionally made by mixing oil (coconut oil, palm oil, and olive oil) with a liquid (water), and an alkali (sodium hydroxide, known as lye). Today, most soap bars are made using synthetic forms of traditional soap ingredients.
  • Shower gel is firmer and gel-like with added fragrance.
  • Body washes are liquid cleansers that use mild surfactants. Body washes tend to be thinner and creamier than shower gels.
