The goodness of soap lies in the % of TFM contained in it. A high quality (Grade 1) soap has to contain 76%TFM. Least quality soap (Grade 3) at least 60%.
Soaps are typically produced by the reaction of a base (such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) with a fatty acid. Therefore, soaps are considered the salts of fatty acids and are generally characterized as being basic in nature.
Toilet soaps typically have a higher total fatty matter (TFM) content compared to bathing bars or detergents. Look for soaps with at least 76% TFM, as they are considered high quality and more gentle on the skin.
No, not all soaps are alkaline in nature. Soaps are the salts of fatty acids and can be either alkaline or neutral depending on the type of fatty acid used in their production. Traditional soaps made from fats with high alkaline content are alkaline, while syndet bars (synthetic detergents) are neutral or slightly acidic.
Quite the oppposite - most soaps are bases. Totally different pH balances.
Washing soap is designed to remove tough stains and dirt from clothes, while bathing soap is formulated to cleanse the skin and maintain its moisture balance. Bathing soap usually has milder ingredients suitable for the skin, while washing soap has stronger cleaning agents for fabrics.
TFM-Total Fatty Matter a measure used for identifying the amount of fatty matter present in soaps.For soaps the main ingredients would be the fatty matter extracted from plants,animals and fragrance, colour and also contains sodium and potassium salts as the key ingredients.

It is a matter of personal opinion.
Soaps are water-soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. It's made from fats and oils, or their fatty acids, by treating them chemically with a strong alkali.
Soaps are made from animal fats and their fatty acids.Soap is usually caustic not acid. Higher than ph7, not lower.
