Q. What are the differences between bath and toilet soaps?

Answer

The main difference between a bath and toilet soap is that the toilet soap comes with more cleansing properties. Meanwhile, the bath soap is too has the cleansing ability, but also has moisturizing benefits and other medicinal properties based on the kind of oil used. Secondly, the Total Fatty Matter (TFM) in a bath soap is less than 60 percent, but not less than 40 percent, while that in a toilet soap should be over 60 percent, but less than 76 percent. So in a nutshell, higher the TFM, the more its moisturizing properties. Last but not the least, surface active agents are absent in a toilet soap, while they are present in a bath soap. This makes the bath soaps gentler to use on the skin and a better product for those prone to allergic reactions and breakouts.
