I’m taking a shower at someone else’s house and I noticed they have 1 bottle that says “3-in-1, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash”.

Why isn’t this the standard? Why do we even need 3 different types of soaps to bathe?? Have I bought into Big Soap capitalist propaganda without even noticing??

I just finished showering with the 3-1 soap and I don’t feel any difference between the 1 soap vs the 3 soaps I have at home.

    I’ll tack on that some folks need a separate face wash, as the harshness of regular soap can screw up sensitive/dry skin.

    Still, fully agree. Any singular soap is going to be better than a hodge-podge “all-in-one” bottle of god knows what.

      Or they need more gentle body wash.

      Realistically, most face wash products just (typically “sensitive skin”) body wash diluted enough to work in a foaming dispenser.

      Pro tip: Check if your face wash manufacturer makes a body wash with the same ingredients. If so, it’s pretty good odds you’re paying 5x the price/oz for something that’s diluted ~2:1 with plain water - so 15x the price of the actual cleaning product just to not have to dilute it yourself.

      I agree with that, besides- if you use bar soap you HAVE to have a face wash if you catch my drift.
