Soap history

The English soap equivalent of soap is believed to originate from the Celtic Saip, which called soap from animal fat and vegetable ash. Another legend of the origin of the soap and its English name soap relates to Mount Shap on which the ancient Romans sacrificed animals to the Gods. At the foot of this mountain is the River Tiber, where clothes were constantly washed. The animal fat mingled with the ashes of the scrap, and it was washed away by the rains. The water in the river splashed and the women, who were washing their clothes, noticed that all the dirt was leaching perfectly.

By II m.e.a. Greek doctor Galen mentions soap as a medicine that cleanses the body. And only in II m.e.a. soap is mentioned as a hygiene tool. Then, after the collapse of the Roman Empire, soap was forgotten for several centuries, which, incidentally, caused terrible epidemics in Europe in the Middle Ages.

The soap only reappeared in the 13th century in France and England, and was made by noble families only by pharmacists who knew all the subtleties of its manufacture.
 

Later, when French scientist Luji Paster discovered that the disease was caused by bacteria in the early 19th century, everyone felt the need for personal hygiene. Mass production of soap was organized and has since become a product without which no bathroom can be found anywhere in the world. However, it has happened that the technology and composition of soap has changed slightly as a result of the transition to mass production of soap, which is why modern soap is far from what pharmacists once made.

However, back in the 2nd century AD, the first beauticians Plenius and Halen developed the recipe for natural soap and its technology. Such soaps included vegetable oils, sodium salts, seaweed and beeswax. Oils with natural antioxidants and emollient additives improve wound healing and protect the epidermis of the skin, giving it velvet softness. The use of vegetable oils allows the soap to be made cold. As a result, it retains the best qualities of all its components and natural plant glycerol, which does not dry the skin and helps it retain moisture. Because of these properties, a single piece of natural soap can replace many different cosmetics.
