Soap making has been around for literally thousands of years. There may be some dispute as to the original time frame for the very first soap, however, a barrel full of a substance that appeared to like soap was found to date back as far as 2200 B.C. - though some accounts date as far back as 2800 B.C. Interestingly enough, a n ancient tablet dating back to the 2200 B.C. was found to contain, of all things, a soap recipe. The ancient form of soap making included mixing pot ash and various oils to make a sort of cleaning agent.

In 1500 B.C, manuscripts describe material created from combining animal fats and vegetable oils. These particular manuscripts describe a type of soap that was used when making wool. Obviously, storage receptacles that maintained a consistent temperature were hard to come by back then, therefore, it is safe to presume these substances were made on an as-needed basis.
