Pears Glycerin soap is a British brand of soap first produced and sold in 1807 by Andrew Pears at a factory just off Oxford Street in London. It was the world's first mass-market translucent soap. Under the stewardship of advertising pioneer Thomas J. Barratt, A. & F. Pears initiated a number of innovations in sales and marketing. English actress and socialite Lillie Langtry was recruited to become the poster girl for Pears in 1882, and in doing so, she became the first celebrity to endorse a commercial product.
