Is there any difference between shampoo, body wash, and liquid hand soap, or is it all just marketing?

No, it is not all just marketing. Shampoo is formulated to clean your hair so it is more gentle than soaps, body wash for your skin, and liquid hand soap is often just antibacterial for your hands. Body wash tends to be more gentle on your skin then liquid hand soap because liquid hand soap is stronger, since your hands tend to get dirtier. Shampoo can be used as body wash, but body wash should not be used in your hair because it will leave behind a greasy residue. hope this helps!Is there any difference between shampoo, body wash, and liquid hand soap, or is it all just marketing?
there is a big difference. the PH levels are all different. in shampoo they are lower-so they wont damage your hair. in body wash they are only slightly higher, but usually have moisturizers in them which th PH could vary. liquid hand soap has the highest PH level (because it is supposed to kill bacteria)





we did a test on all this stuff in beauty school, i used to think the same thing, but i was surprised to actually see the major differences. depending on what shampoo, body wash, and hand soap....the PH levels all vary to a point but it did show that there is a major difference between all three soaps, and washes.Is there any difference between shampoo, body wash, and liquid hand soap, or is it all just marketing?
yea u cant really use shampoo to scrub ur face but the ingredients is too harsh
Of course! Shampoo is designed to clean you hair and wash the grease out. A lot of shampoos also add volume or strengthen your hair.


Body wash is designed to moisturize your body.


Liquid hand soap is made to kill the bacteria living on your hands and keep them fresh and clean.
shampoo if made for your hair.


body wash is soap for your body. but in gel like form.


liquid hand soap is normally in a pump and is for hand washing sorta like in public restrooms.





there all different ina way. but a bar of soap does the same thing as both body wach and liquid hand soap..
The different types of soap are meant for different types of skin.
