History of Soap & Skincare Talk
With Denise at Zilfarni Soaps & Scents
Discover the fascinating story behind the products we use every day in this engaging talk exploring the history of soap and skincare.
From the earliest cleansing rituals of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Rome to the rise of the modern beauty industry, Denise will trace how culture, science, trade and technology have shaped the way we care for our skin. The talk highlights key milestones and ingredients - from perfumed soaps and medicinal balms to the impact of industrialisation and the development of modern skincare formulations.
Along the way, you’ll also explore how social class, hygiene and beauty standards have evolved over time, offering fresh insight into the rituals and products we often take for granted.
A thoughtful and informative session for anyone curious about heritage, wellbeing, and the stories behind skincare.
