Pure-n-Simple Soap
For Healthier Skin Care
Take Control
Do you ever wonder about the history of soap? Well, you probably would if soap was no longer available to you. You would need to find some way to get clean and handmade soap may be your only option.
People have been using soap for thousands of years for everything from personal hygiene to housecleaning. The first soap probably came from the soap plant (Chlorogalum pomeridianum). When crushed and moistened the roots of this plant formed foam that was used as shampoo.
Several hundred years ago people learned that alkalies and fats when combined with fire formed saponified compounds. Modern soap is made from oil and fat that react when combined with lye. Often times, handmade soaps are made from palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or canola oil.

I love soap! I think only about 150 years ago, people were still only bathing once a year!
That must have been awful! Although bathing with soap and using herbs for fragrance and hygiene is recorded as far back as the ancient Greeks.
That’s why brides traditionally held flowers.

I realise this may sound rude, but I honestly am not happy with the title Do You Care About Clean? | Pure-n-Simple Soap . I believe it is a terrible atrocity to mankind. I reckon you should certainly be more kind next time. However I have got to admit, that your writing style is exceptional. Best Wishes, James Trenholm
