Natural Soap Introduction

Soap is essential for everyone, young or old, men or women, wealthy or poor, all use it. The origin of the word ''soap" is traced to sacrificial Mount Sapo of primeval Roman legend. The blend of fat and wood ashes that reacted to develop soap was carried by rain to the shores of the Tiber River and was discovered as a clay deposit helpful for cleaning garments. Soap, cleansing agent or detergent are made from animal and vegetable fats, oils, and greases; chemically, soaps are the metal (commonly sodium or potassium) salts of long chain fatty acids mainly Palmitic (C15 H31 COOH), Stearic (C17 H35 COOH) and oleic (C17 H33 COOH) acids.

1 Soap use has a long history for instance, purifying agents mentioned in the bible Jeremiah 2:22 and Malachi 3:2 were a certain type of soaps. During the 1st century there were various forms of hard and soft dye-containing soaps known as rutilandis capillis, which in the past had been used by women to wash and impart brilliant colors to the hair. Soap making was widespread in Italy and Spain during the eight century. During the thirteen century, when the soap manufacturing was introduced from Italy into France, most soap was created from the tallow of goats, with beech ash furnishing the alkali. The French, after carrying out tests, developed a process of making soap from olive oil instead of from animal fats and, about 1500, establish their discoveries into England. The industry in England grew quickly and in 1622 was a givem special privilege by King James I. In 1783 the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele by accident simulated the reaction that occurs in the contemporary boiling process of soap making, when he boiled olive oil with lead oxide, producing a sweet-tasting matter now known as glycerin. The manufacturing of soap was revolutionized in 1791 by the French chemist Nicolas.
