Classic soap is a mixture of sodium (solid soap bars) or potassium (liquid hand soap) salts of fatty acids, produced by saponification of animal fat (tallow) or vegetable oil. Today, many additional compounds are usually added -- antiseptics, moisturizers, etc, but the base is the same.
Builders in detergents also maintain alkalinity, which helps emulsify grease and prevents soils from being redeposited on clothing during washing and rinsing. Another difference between soap and detergents is the ingredients used to make each product. Most soap is made from natural ingredients such as coconut oil and potassium hydroxide. Detergents often contain synthetic ingredients such as dyes, sodium laureth sulfate, disodium phosphate and fragrances.
