(Further, fyi, shampoos are great emulsifiers in hard water compared with the two.)*Please see molecular structures of soaps and detergents to understand how and why detergents emulsify more than soaps.
What are the advantages of synthetic detergents over soap?
The advantages of synthetic detergents over soaps are :Synthetic detergents can be used even in case of hard water whereas soaps fail to do so.
