Body Wash

Body Wash is the modern liquid equivalent to a bar of soap for personal body cleansing and hygiene. There are a wide variety of products on the market to moisturize and protect sensitive skin with options to provide convenience and hygienic bathing options for individuals with limited mobility. The skincare ingredients make reaching for body wash a better alternative than a bar of soap. For one, the liquid counterpart is "cleaner" and won't introduce bacteria to the skin, which is especially important when the patient has pressure sores or ulcers. A bar of soap can not only harbor bacteria, but depending on the ingredients it can also be very harsh and dry out the skin by removing essential lipids. Body wash is often formulated with rich emollients and won't dry the skin like a bar of soap can. Its moisture-boosting ingredients and the gentle pH-balanced formula make body wash a more desirable option than soap for many.¹

Vitality Medical also offers a variety of dual-purpose body wash and shampoo products and no-rinse versions for bedside use. When regular bathing isn't possible, these options provide an alternative to standard skincare and bathing products when mobility issues make daily showering impossible. Rinse-free antibacterial body wash is also referred to as a "bath in a bottle" or a dry shower. They offer safe ingredients that wipe away dirt, oil, and grime from the skin with virtually no residue. It's also a great way to freshen the skin for individuals who have urine incontinence and bowel issues.
