A papyrus found in Egypt that dates to 1550 BCE shows that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly and combined animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to create a soap-like substance.
As local and international designer and beauty brands are tapping into the organic and natural beauty trend we look at the starting point of a healthy and glowing skin, the soap. Play with colors and mixed in materials that blend with the natural oils that purify and nourish the skin give the latest soaps on the shelf a whole new meaning and look.

LOEWE
After launching the bath & body collection at the end of 2023, Loewe perfumes is expanding the product line with a fourth fragrance – Ivy. A woody scent that evokes the fresh, verdant aroma of the leafy, climbing vine, reminiscent of the green aroma of the climbing plant in a playful pink tone. This block-shaped cleansing bar is inspired by the Ancient Greek and Roman practice of integrating therapeutic botanical essences in their bathing rituals.
