What is a shower gel

Shower gel is a specialized liquid product used for cleaning the body during showers. Not to be confused with liquid soaps, shower gels, in fact, do not contain saponified oil. Instead, it uses synthetic detergents derived from either petroleum or plant sources.

Importance of using shower gel

1. Shower gels provide good foaming ability.
2. It has cleaning effectiveness, as well as mildness to prevent skin irritation or over-drying.
3. Conditioning agents are added to the product to moisturize the skin both during and after use.
4. Provide long lasting fragrance.

Difference between shower gel and body wash

Basically, the difference between gels and washes is the consistency. Products called body washes are thinner and runnier, more like liquid hand soap or dish soap. Shower gels, by contrast, have a gel-like consistency and are usually not runny.

Is shower gel better than soap?

If you’re looking for something eco-friendly and sustainably made to cleanse dirt from your body, basic bar soap is your shower soulmate. If you need skin hydration, serious exfoliation, or acne treatment during your shower, a body wash or shower gel might be the better choice.
