Is Hand Soap the Same as Body Wash
                     Is Hand Soap the 
Same as Body 
Wash?
Hand Soap vs Body Wash
• First things first, you must comprehend these two concepts before moving on. Hand washing and hand soap are typically 
confused. Although they both wash their hands, they are actually two separate things.
• We'll talk more about the saponification byproduct of hand soap later. While hand wash is technically a detergent, it is a 
synthetic product made from an inorganic component.
Environment Friendly
• Hand soaps have a clear benefit over body soaps in terms of environmental friendliness. Compared to body wash, which 
are formed of inorganic materials, soaps are thought to be "more environmentally friendly" because they are made from 
organic natural oils.
• Petrochemicals, preservatives, and phthalates are a few examples of these compounds. The Environmental Working Group, 
which rates soap as the cleaning product with the least harmful environmental consequences, supports this.
