Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between liquid body wash and no-rinse body wash?
Liquid body wash is a rinse-off cleanser used with water in a shower or traditional bed bath. No-rinse body wash is applied and either wiped off or left to evaporate without water or rinsing, which suits bedbound patients and units limiting basin use. Both are stocked; no-rinse formats are also grouped under the bathing wipes and no-rinse cleansers subsection.
What sizes and packaging of body wash are stocked?
Body wash is stocked in 8 oz pump bottles, gallon refill jugs and single-use 0.5 oz packets. Bar soap comes in individually wrapped guest and full sizes in bulk cases, and antibacterial liquid soap is stocked in pump and gallon formats. Gallon and packet formats are the highest-volume choices for facility use.
Which soap and body wash brands are carried?
The catalog stocks Medline and McKesson body wash and liquid soap, Dial and antibacterial soap lines, Convatec Aloe Vesta and Coloplast Bedside-Care cleansing formulas, and brand-agnostic value bar soap and body wash for high-volume basics. Fragrance-free and moisturizing options are stocked across the liquid lines.
Can facilities order soaps and body wash in bulk?
Yes. Bar soaps, liquid body wash and antibacterial soap are stocked in case and pallet quantities for hospitals, long-term care facilities, surgery centers, rehabilitation units, home care agencies and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-velocity SKUs such as gallon body wash and wrapped bar soap. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What soaps and body wash products should be in a facility formulary?
A comprehensive cleansing formulary typically includes a moisturizing or fragrance-free liquid body wash in gallon and pump formats, an antibacterial liquid soap, wrapped bar soap for admission kits and patient rooms, and a 2-in-1 hair and body wash for assisted shower bathing. Optional additions depend on facility case mix, such as single-use body wash packets for isolation rooms.
