✦Grammar Breakdown

Gustar construction
The verb gustar is used with an indirect object pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les) and the thing that is liked is the grammatical subject, so the verb agrees with it.
Noun + adjective order
In Spanish, adjectives usually follow the noun, as in "jabón líquido" (liquid soap).
Purpose preposition "para"
"Para" introduces the purpose or intended use, here "para las manos" (for the hands).

¿Qué tipo de jabón prefieres para lavar tus manos?
What kind of soap do you prefer for washing your hands?
Me gusta el jabón líquido para las manos.
I like liquid hand soap.
✕Common Mistakes
Me gusta el jabón líquido de las manos.
Use "para" to indicate purpose; "de" would mean "soap of the hands" which is incorrect.
Me gusta los jabones líquidos para las manos.
The subject is singular (el jabón), so the verb must stay singular; using "los" creates a plural mismatch.
Me gusta el jabón líquido en las manos.
While "en" can mean "on", the natural phrasing for preference uses "para"; "en" sounds like you are describing where you use it rather than what you like.
↔Alternatives

Prefiero el jabón líquido para las manos.
I prefer liquid hand soap.
Me gusta usar jabón líquido en mis manos.

Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, "jabón líquido para manos" is the standard product found in kitchens and bathrooms. When using gustar, remember the verb agrees with the thing you like (el jabón), not with the speaker. Also, "para" is the usual preposition for purpose; "de" would change the meaning to "soap of the hands" which sounds odd.
