Soap has been around since the dark ages. but not many people used it. Queen Elizabeth the First herself only bathed maybe twice a yr. they prefered to "bath" in perfume. When the plague came around many people died b/c they didn't use soap. After they figured out the cleaner people were less likely to get the plague, they started using soap. I'm not sure if any one knows who invented soap itself.... scented soap was created in the 1700's during the colonial times by women who wanted to smell pretty. lol. and they made quiet a profit at it too.
