IT'S FUCKING SOAP!
SOAP has been around for millenia, but it was mostly made from animal fat, from what I remember, and it wasn't used for hygiene. In fact, because it was made from animal fat, it was extremely oily and smelly. Decent for cleaning purposes, but not so much for making you feel clean.
Even today, soap has various types (bar, liquid, body, hand, face, etc.) and effectiveness, so while it's not the same issue as in the past, it's still not as simple as "being soap".
