Bathing Products
Bathing products encompass a wide range of items used for personal hygiene and cleansing in a bath or shower. These products serve diverse purposes, from basic cleaning to therapeutic and aesthetic enhancements.
Materials & Composition
The materials used in bathing products vary significantly depending on the product type. Common ingredients include:
- Surfactants: These are the primary cleaning agents, reducing surface tension to allow water to mix with oil and dirt. Examples include sulfates (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate), sulfonates, and milder options like coco-glucoside.
- Moisturizers: Ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, cocoa butter, oils (e.g., jojoba, almond, olive), and hyaluronic acid help to hydrate and soften skin.
- Fragrances: Essential oils, synthetic fragrances, or natural extracts provide scent.
- Colorants: Dyes and pigments are used for visual appeal.
- Additives: These can include pH adjusters, preservatives, thickeners, and active ingredients (e.g., vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts).
- Bases: Solid products utilize bases like saponified oils (soap) or solid surfactants. Liquid products rely on water as a primary base.
Purpose & Function

- Cleansing: Removing dirt, oil, sweat, and impurities from the skin.
