Easy- its got more air in it, and it therefore less dense than the water.
One day in 1875, an employee at Procter & Gamble accidentally left a soap mixer on when he went to lunch. The soap was so over-mixed that it had much more air in it and was more white than usual. The soap had so much air in it that it floated. The company tried selling it as a new product and it became very popular. They called it Ivory.
