At the time of the Prophet (saw) soap as we know today didn't exist. In any case when the Prophet (saw) went to a far off place for the toilet he cleaned his hands by wiping on the ground and washing with water. As the earth and water are (natural) purifiers would it be necessary from a fiqh point of view to use soap today? To clarify to remove impurity from the private parts during ghusl water is sufficient, shower gel is just nice to use too!
