personal care products

Body maintenance items

Personal care products are items used for hygiene, grooming, and bodily maintenance—soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, and the like.

The term appears in retail contexts and regulatory language to distinguish these from cosmetics (primarily decorative) and pharmaceuticals (medicinal): The personal care products aisle includes everything from razors to sunscreen.
