When it comes to skincare, what you put on your skin matters as much as what you put into your body. Organic bar soaps have been making waves in the skincare industry, especially among those who prioritize natural and sustainable products. But not all organic bar soaps are created equal. Some are packed with ingredients that do wonders for your skin, while others may fall short. So, how do you choose the best organic bar soap? By knowing which ingredients to look for. In this blog, we’ll break down the top 5 ingredients that should be on your radar when shopping for organic bar soaps.

LECTURE 11: BEATLEMANIA GOES GLOBAL: Beatle Capitalism took off around 1964 to 1966, with the marketplace flooded by countless Fab Four items – everything from bed sheets to lunchboxes to Beatle wigs. Here’s a circa 1964 commercial for one of many popular Beatles items: the inflatable Beatles. You could collect all four for only $2 plus two wrappers from Dove or Lux or Lifebuoy soaps! These Beatles bore a striking resemblance to the ones on the Saturday morning ABC cartoon! I wonder if you can still send off for them? It’s only 59 years later!

I was looking for a good movie still to illustrate this post and found one here - along with the unexpected improbability of a recipe for Lifebuoy-Soap-Style fudge...

Oh-kaayyy.

The original recipe is at the link, while the one below includes conversion to metric.

NB that the US measurements are correct and metric is approximate - also rounded up to the next convenient whole number, though I doubt this matters much.

Besides the ingredients, you'll need to source soap moulds and some kind of letter stamp, also - if like me - a sharp knife for trimming the finished blocks of "soap" into their proper in-period shape. Faking the elaborate cartouche in the middle is IMO going OTT, but YMMV.

*****

Prep Time 30 mins Cook Time 2 mins Chill for 2 hrs Total Time 32 mins

Ingredients

2 ⅔ cups white chocolate chips 16 ounces / 455 gr (SEE NOTES!)

1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces / 400 gr.

pinch salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

red food coloring

Instructions

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave at 70 percent power for 90 seconds. Stir well, using the residual heat to full melt the chocolate until the mixture is very smooth. 

Alternatively, you can set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water) on the stove-top. 

Add the salt, vanilla extract, and food coloring. Stir well and add food coloring until desired shade is achieved

Pour into food-safe silicone soap molds. (You should have 6 to 8 bars.) Place the molds on a baking tray and chill for 2 hours. 

Overturn the fudge bars onto a baking tray lined with wax or parchment paper. Use stone stamps to write "Lifebuoy" or "Oh Fudge" on the bars. Return to the refrigerator to chill until serving. 

Calories based on a half-bar of fudge. 

Recipe Notes

Please note, the recipe here uses Nestle-brand white “morsels,” which is actually confectionery coating. If you’re using white confectionery coating chips (no cocoa butter listed in the ingredients), use 16 ounces / 455 gr. If using pure white chocolate (with cocoa butter listed in the ingredients), use 19 ounces / 540 gr.

Two advertisements from 1936:

Lifebuoy soap, created 1895, is still on the market with one significant formula change, but we still haven’t figured out how you could be blissfully unaware that you have eyewatering B.O. But then again, maybe he’s aware of his funk and being a farmer, he does spend sun-up to sundown working hard outdoors so perspiration is part of life? I guess since they’re now engaged soon we’ll find out if Lifebuoy soap actually drives wives wicked rather than just to the altar.

Rinso detergent, created 1908, hasn’t been on the American market since 1980 (other than a product which licensed the name that is at a discount store chain) but does still exist in other parts of the world. As for whether anyone ever used it for more than their laundry -- certainly people don’t use the competitor that put it out of business, Tide, for their floors and dairy containers -- that’s unknown.

Lifebuoy Soap, 1930s

Scanned from Taschen's "All-American Ads of the 30s".

Remember that scene from "A Christmas Story"...?

"Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference is for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavour - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Lifebuoy, on the other hand..."

Side-note re. the film - that bar of Lifebuoy is a fake, not only because putting Real Soap into a child - or indeed any - actor's mouth is stretching Method to its limit, but also because the proper 1940s shape wasn't made any more.

Dedication to accuracy, two thumbs up.
