bodywashes

Liquid bathing products

Bodywashes are liquid cleansers formulated for use in the shower or bath, applied with hands, a washcloth, or a loofah to clean the skin.

They emerged as an alternative to bar soap, often marketed with moisturizing properties, fragrances, or specialized formulations for different skin types.

The term is typically written as two words or hyphenated: body wash, body-wash.

I prefer bodywashes to bar soap because they lather better.
