And use it to refill your hand wash bottle 😁

Doesn't bb have more foaming agents in it but are otherwise the same? . It's all a marketing ploy to get us to but both I think.

At the cheap end of the market bubble bath, hand wash, shower gel and even shampoo is all the same.

Same ingredients, different quantities

Yes, as @Yoyooo says, the ingredients are the same but the formulation is different.

Yep,been buying the bubble bath version for years to use as shower gel and hand soap

Are the consistencies the same?

I agree that it's definitely the way to go, just that the saving might not be quite as much as you think, if you use more bubble bath when showering because it's runnier or less foamy.

Another thing to watch is how much you use. On here people talk about using alarming quantities of shower gel, eg a whole bottle per person per week. Same for bleach, laundry and cleaning products. People are buying things weekly that we buy a few times a year.

The bubble bath is thicker so you definitely use less and it lathers more
