Hands are a body part too?!?
In: Chemistry
Generally speaking body wash isn’t technically a soap, that is it is not produced via saponification like glycerin soap. Liquid hand soap is usually made with sodium hydroxide which results in highly cleansing soap. Most body wash is made by a process using potassium hydroxide which results in more lather and a more gentle product. That’s honestly the main difference. They’re very similar, however if you use hand soap as body wash you’re likely to feel a little more squeaky clean and less nice and soft.
