The classification for the oil breaking chemicals in dish soap is "emulsifiers." Emulsifiers break the oil into tiny molecules that easily separate and are washed and rinsed away. Oils and greases have bonds and this is why they leave "streaks." The emulsifiers break the bonds holding the molecules together.
