The Fascinating History of Soap: From Ancient Ritual to Everyday Essential

Soap has shaped humanity’s hygiene for thousands of years! Dating back to 2800 BC, ancient Babylonians first combined animal fats with ashes to create a rudimentary soap-like substance. Ancient Egyptians and Romans refined this formula, using fragrant oils and lye to cleanse skin and clothes.

Fast forward to the Middle Ages, and soap-making evolved into an art, with specialized guilds crafting luxurious, herbal-scented bars. Today, soap blends science and creativity, offering both hygiene and indulgence.
