Word origin
The word 'soap' has its origins in Old English 'sฤpe', which is derived from Proto-Germanic 'saipon'. Soap has been used for centuries for cleaning and personal hygiene. The ancient Babylonians are believed to have been the first to master the art of soap making around 2800 BC by mixing fats with wood ash. Over time, soap production evolved, and today it is an essential household item used worldwide.
