Can dish soap be effectively used to wash hands?
In: Chemistry
They are formulated slightly differently, but ultimately do the same job.
So dish soap will be more concentrated, and be formulated with more of an emphasis on cutting through grease.
Hand soap on the other hand will be formulated with more of an emphasis on caring for your hands, so less harsh chemicals, and including things like moisturisers and lotions to better protect your skin.
So the soap aspect is essentially the same, but the strength and other elements added into it will vary to suit the desired need.
