Bar soap is often made from rendered animal fats, but body wash is detergent-based and so its primary ingredients are typically vegan. That said, many body wash brands either contain animal derivatives or were formulated using animal testing.
Body wash is sometimes called shower gel. Whatever you call it, these products clean without leaving a soapy residue on your skin or in your tub.
Various companies make a wide assortment of vegan body wash products.
