Soap was first made by boiling fat while adding some ingredients.
Today, we've established that soap has a oxygen/hydrogen head and a hydrocarbonic tail.
People've added dyes and perfumes in it too.
Basic soap, with no additives, is made with fat and lye.

∙ 15y agoSoap dissolves (as a solute) in water by connecting its salt lattices to water molecules. The soap (in solution) still has the ability to also dissolve in oil. This allows the soap and oil to be washed away with the water, although ordinarily the oil and water would not intermix.

What is the difference between soap and detergents?
Soap is sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids, and these days is usually used only for cleaning human skin, but in the past was used for many other cleaning purposes. Detergent is a substance used for cleaning, so soap is a type of detergent. Detergents are often surfactants (as is soap), which help to dissolve oils in water, useful in cleaning dirty dishes or greasy skin. Both detergent and soap can be harmful to skin (but are not always), and neither form kill or remove 100% of bacteria.
