Soap Whip Versus Body Wash. What’s the difference?
Let’s face it; we’re creatures of habit. Whether it be your daily routine or your favorite product – we tend to feel comfort in what we know. With this in mind, it’s really no surprise that many people are a bit hesitant to try out soap whip. What is this stuff anyway and why switch up the body wash you have loved for so many years?
Here at Buff City Soap New England, we’re answering your questions!
What is soap whip, anyway?
Let’s start with asking one of the most common questions we hear around the Makery – What is soap whip? The easiest answer – It’s your new body wash! Simply apply your Whip to a wet luffa and it’ll foam right up. Keeping you moisturized and smelling wonderful all day!
So why consider making the change? Here are a few reasons:
Consistency
One of the first differences any consumer will notice is the consistencies. Soap whip is (as the name implies) a whipped, foamy, and airy soap that has a light and fluffy texture. On the other hand, body wash has a thicker, gel-like consistency.
Application
When it comes to the application of these products, they can be applied similarly or differently – depending on personal preference. As mentioned, Buff City Soap Whip is typically used with a loofah to create a rich lather, while body wash is often applied with a pouf or washcloth.
Moisturizing Properties
Another significant difference, especially in cold New England weather, is that Whip and body wash have different moisturizing properties. Soap whip is often formulated with ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil to hydrate and nourish the skin. In contrast, body wash may contain moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera or vitamin E. While all of the mentioned ingredients are good, sometimes a bit more moisture is called for!
