Beats me...
I looked up prices of “bar soap”...
Then I looked up prices of “body wash”...
The prices I gave were an illustration of what I found...
I did NOT survey every single brand of either...
Just an example....
I think soft soap is considered to be a hand soap. Body washes come in shampoo shaped containers. Suave has the only one I can ever bear to buy because they’re all 3-5 dollars and more. And you use up the bottles horrifically fast.
