Panelists were given blind samples of body washes to evaluate at home on a seven point scale. They received sufficient training to be able to distinguish between product differences for each attribute of the body washes. The goal of this study was to improve on the current methods of analytical product assessment with a home use descriptive analysis study to reflect more realistic home use situations of body wash products.
