Sarhan says Brazil’s is a huge and promising market, and unlike the Arab and European countries it has the advantage of few competitors, which encourages the company to endure the long transportation periods required to take the goods to Latin America.

Brazilian-style bath
| |
 |
Soaps became a habit in the bath of Brazilians around the 1940 and 1950s. That’s thanks to foreign companies, particularly from the United States, that arrived in Brazil and invested heavily in marketing – and in cheaper and more affordable products. Before that baths were only with water and maybe a piece of mild or coconut soap. Back then soaps were luxury items, a privilege of the elite. Decades later Brazil is the one exporting soaps to the world, taking a variety of brands, prices, sizes, aromas, and often a touch of Brazilianness.
