Summary of Soap for Body and Soul

Since ancient times, every culture has devised cleansing rituals for the body. Soap, our most enduring hygienic product, has evolved in modern times into a luxurious combination of ingredients ranging from essential oils to goat's milk. In this lavishly illustrated gift book, soap aficionados Lisl and Landt Dennis lead readers through the product's fascinating 2,500-year history, from the ancient Roman's obsession with their daily bath to the modern-day French soap makers who craft the superb olive oil-based Savon de Marseilles.

Soap: For Body and Soul provides information about selecting the best soaps and takes the modern consumer on a tour of wonderful varieties from around the globe. Practical information about washing with soap is provided, along with insider advice from spa specialists and dermatologists about selecting soap appropriate to your skin type and complexion. A useful lexicon of soap terminology demystifies soap products and their many ingredients. Accompanying the text are vibrant photographs showcasing artistic, and often fancifully packaged, cleverly molded, and handmade soaps.

Whether you want to soothe your body and soul with a rejuvenating washing and bathing ritual or pamper your house guests with an irresistible selection of fine soaps, this book is the indispensable guide that teaches you everything you need to know.
