A HISTORY OF SOAP The English began soap making during the twelfth century. Unfortunately, soap was heavily taxed as a luxury item, and so only the rich could afford the luxury. In 1853, when the English tax was repealed, a boom in the soap trade coincided with the change in social attitudes towards personal cleanliness.
