Rs 232400: This is World’s most expensive soap, infused with Gold and…, is made in…
Soap is a necessary item in our daily lives. It is used for washing hands and the body, thus maintaining personal cleanliness and hygiene. For most people, a simple bar of soap suffices, which can cost anywhere from Rs 10 to Rs 20 in India. However, the world of soap is not limited to these ordinary varieties. There are luxury soaps made from rare materials, soaps with beautiful designs, and masques with luxurious materials, where the cost can be in the lakhs.
Who produces the world’s most expensive soap?
Made in Tripoli, Lebanon, Bader Hassan & Sons produces the most expensive soap in the world, as reported by ABP LIVE. This soap is special as it is handmade using ancient techniques, special beneficial oils, and natural fragrances. This luxury soap has been produced since the 15th century, combining ancient methods with modern luxury.
What makes this soap so expensive? Where is this luxurious soap made?
What distinguishes this soap from ordinary bars is the precious materials that feature in it. The most expensive bar is infused with gold powder and encrusted with diamonds. This has now become a soap that is no longer simply a hygiene product, but a work of art. Additionally, the decorative design combined with carefully selected natural oils and scents allows for the soap to possess many attributes that benefit the skin, as reported by ABP LIVE.
Where is it available for purchase?
These soaps are not offered at standard retail locations but instead are found only in specialized stores in the U.A.E., with the highest-priced and most exclusive versions created for distinguished guests. Initially, the soap was shaped like a cheese wedge, but this design has now been considerably enhanced. All the bars of soap are now plated in 24-carat gold, which is visually stunning. The soap retails for about $2,800 a bar, the report mentioned. It is not just for cleaning — it also serves as a status symbol. Assuming an approximate exchange rate of 1 USD = ₹83, $2,800 is equal to Rs 2,32,400.
The manufacturing of these soaps in Lebanon also showcases the rich cultural history of the country. By reconciling modern luxury with traditional practices, the company has taken a generic product and made it royal. While most of us never even consider the cost of soap, these luxury soaps remind us that even the simplest of items can be made into art.
