What does 'thick soap' mean, and how is it different from a regular bar soap or shower gel?

"Thick soap" here refers to a denser, paste-like consistency that is firmer than a liquid shower gel but softer and more spreadable than a traditional hard-milled bar soap. This specific format makes it easy to portion and spread—it doesn't run off the hand immediately like a liquid, which users often find more convenient and less wasteful. It's a single-product format chosen for practicality in situations like travel, gym bags, saunas, or country houses where carrying multiple bottles is less ideal. Compared to a regular bar soap, this formulation combines cleansing with plant-based conditioning ingredients (D-panthenol, herbal extracts) aiming for a skin feel that is less tight after washing. Unlike many shower gels focused solely on skin, it's also intended for hair washing, offering a simpler, two-in-one routine. The choice ultimately depends on your preference for texture, convenience, and desire for a combined hair-and-body product.
