All the above answers are uninformed.





Body wash is a detergent. Anion surfactants.


It leaves no soap film in the shower. Like shampoo.





Soap is just that, made from fats and lye.





Both contain scent or perfumes.What is the difference between body wash and soap?
Body Wash is liquid version of the same type of soap say like Zest or Ivory. They are both fine. Some people prefer the Body wash or bar for different reasons. I like to take my Body Wash on a vacation neater to pack.
Body wash comes in tubes and bottles. It is scented and has moisturizers and whatnot. You can get body wash by companies like Old Spice whereas soap just comes in a bar.
cost same thing
what is the difference?????,.....the price,.....
I think body wash has more scents and comes in different sizes. Seems like body wash is catered more toward women, as soap is used for hand washing and geared more toward box sexes.





Pretty much the same thing (give or take scents and moisturizer)
