The concept of Soap and Shampoo


Washing and bathing play essential part in our lives. It was the Muslims who came up with the idea of soap and shampoo by boiling and hardening a mixture of vegetable oils with al qali.
In 1759 Sheikh dean Mahomed , an Indian Muslim popularized the Indian treatment of champi(shampooing)  in England and was appointed the King Shampooing Surgeon.
  He had learned much of Mughal Alchemy and understood the techniques used to produce various alqali, soaps and shmapoos.
