DID YOU KNOW

Soap was first used as early
as 2800 B.C. A soap like
substance was found in
cylinders during excavation of
ancient Babylon.

Records show that ancient
Egyptians bathed regularly.
The Ebers Papyrus, a medical
document from about 1500
B.C., describes combining
animal and vegetable oils with
alkaline salts to form a
soap-like material used for
treating skin diseases, as well
as for washing

Soap got its name, according
to an ancient Roman legend,
from Mount Sapo, where
animals were sacrificed. Rain
washed a mixture of melted
animal fat, or tallow, and wood
ashes down into the clay soil
along the Tiber River.

Italy, Spain and France were
early centers of soap
manufacturing, due to their
ready supply of raw materials
such as oil from olive trees.
The English began making
soap during the 12th century.
The soap business was so
good that in 1622, King James
I granted a monopoly to a
soapmaker for $100,000 a
year. Well into the 19th century,
soap was heavily taxed as a
luxury item in several
countries. When the high tax
was removed, soap became
available to ordinary people,
and cleanliness standards
improved.

Commercial soapmaking in
the American colonies began
in 1608 with the arrival of
several soapmakers on the
second ship from England to
reach Jamestown, VA.
However, for many years,
soapmaking stayed
essentially a household chore.
Eventually, professional
soapmakers began regularly
collecting waste fats from
households, in exchange for
some soap.

The chemistry of soap
manufacturing stayed
essentially the same until
1916, when the first synthetic
detergent was developed in
Germany in response to a
World War I-related shortage
of fats for making soap.
Known today simply as
detergents, synthetic
detergents are non-soap
washing and cleaning
products that are "synthesized"
or put together chemically from
a variety of raw materials. The
discovery of detergents was
also driven by the need for a
cleaning agent that, unlike
soap, would not combine with
the mineral salts in water to
form an insoluble substance
known as soap curd.
