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 several innovations in sales and marketing.
Barratt was born in London. He married Mary Pears, the eldest daughter of Francis Pears, the head of A. & F. Pears. He consequently entered the firm in 1865, becoming his father-in-law's partner.
