Who is behind Douglas?

In fact, the company can look back on a long history: In 1821, Scottish soap maker John Sharp Douglas, then 29 years old and having emigrated from Glasgow a year earlier, founded a soap factory in Hamburg's Speicherstadt warehouse district, where products such as the "Coconut Oil Soda Soap" or the "Chinese Heaven Soap" were developed and manufactured. Many of his creations became bestsellers - the start of a success story.

Douglas himself was already playing with the rules of globalization back then. According to his own statement, the recipe for his fragrant products came directly from the imperial soap factory in Beijing.

After his death, his sons Thomas and Alexander took over the company and named it "J.S. Douglas Sons".
