Hmm, well I don't have KP but I hope I can help anyway. A cursory googling of KP reveals this:
>General measures to prevent excessive skin dryness, such as using mild soapless cleansers (eg, Dove, Cetaphil), are recommended, and lubrication is the mainstay of treatment for nearly all cases. Exfoliation is helpful in removing the small keratin plugs overlying follicles.

So it looks like a mild synthetic detergent based cleanser should work. Which Sanex body wash are you using? I took a look at the ingredients of some Sanex shower gels and they seem fine. Do you find your skin really dry and stripped after washing?
If so you may benefit from a non- Sulphate shower gel. The Palmer's Cocoa Butter wash you linked is sulphate free but contains Olefin Sulphonate which is also irritating (more on that [here] (http://www.thenaturalhavenbloom.com/2012/06/are-sulfate-free-shampoos-really.html?m=1#!/2012/06/are-sulfate-free-shampoos-really.html)).
The Trilogy wash uses the milder ALES but is really overpriced imo. Depending on which Sanex wash you're using, the ingredients list may be quite similar anyway. I've heard good things about [Dove Pro Age Body Wash] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00YCM7OWE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1480711111&sr=8-1&keywords=dove+pro+age+body+wash&pi=SY200_QL40#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1480711268435) which doesn't have sulphates. [This] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0085U7Y06/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1480711867&sr=8-3&keywords=sulphate+free+body+wash&pi=SY200_QL40) also has a pretty good ingredients list. So does [this] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00F4LBH16/ref=mp_s_a_1_15_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1480712002&sr=8-15&keywords=sulphate+free+body+wash).
You can use sulphate free shampoos as body washes as well, since the surfactants used in them are the same, although you may find it more cost effective to use body washes as shampoo.
In general, your cleanser probably won't make a big difference to your KP, unless the cleanser you're using right now is really drying you out. Are you moisturising well? Also have you discussed this with your GP? They might be able to prescribe products that would be more expensive to purchase over-the-counter.
