What Did People Use Before Body Wash?

Long before liquid soap and fruity shower gels, people still cared about cleanliness. In Ancient Rome, olive oil was used to cleanse the body — rubbed on the skin and scraped off with a tool called a strigil. In India, powdered herbs like neem and turmeric were common. Even in Japan, rice bran water was used for its skin-softening effects

Nature’s Cleaners — Effective but Not Always Gentle

While natural ingredients were often effective, they didn’t always leave skin feeling great. Ash, sand, and even fermented animal fats were used in some regions — but these could be abrasive, or irritating for sensitive skin.

Today, water quality is equally important. Even the best modern soap won’t work well if your water is full of chlorine or heavy metals.
