Although books of fiction, Auel mentions the use of Soapwort by Neanderthols 30,000 years ago along with early Cro-Magnons. She mentions adding it to lard to make what I would imagine is soap in a bar?Animal fat is good for the skin and after worikng with bacon I usually just work the small ammount of fat into my hands rather than washing them.
I'm sticking this link here https://www.wildfibres.co.uk/html/soapwort.html to remind what to do once I have some soapwort plants, not just a packet of seeds!
