About

Hamam soap was established in 1931 as a mild soap that could be used by families. Hamam used natural ingredients in its products long before using all-natural ingredients was a trend. It was, at one time, the only Indian-made natural soap. It is said to be pure and safe on the skin.[ citation needed ]

Between 2009 and 2011, Hamam launched Hamam Nalangumavu soap. It has been withdrawn from the market due to regular Hamam's strong presence and lower sales numbers in the Nalangumavu variants.[ citation needed ]

Making

Hamam soap has neem, tulsi, and aloe vera, which will protect the skin from rashes, pimples, and body odor. [2]

Variations
