    Soaps are made from fats and oils treated with a strong alkali, while detergents are synthesized from various raw materials. Detergents contain a surfactant, which lowers surface tension, and a builder which helps the surfactant work more efficiently. The origins of soap making date back to ancient Babylon in 2800 BC, while detergents were first developed in Germany in 1916.

    are water-soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids.

    are made from fats and oils, or their fatty acids, by treating them chemically with a strong alkali.

    are non-soap washing and cleaning products that are "synthesized" or put together chemically from a variety of raw materials.

    Detergents contains a surfactant/builder combination. The surfactant is a detergent product's basic cleaning ingredient, while the builder helps the surfactant to work more efficiently.

    are compounds that lower the surface tension of a liquid, the interfacial tension between two liquids, or that between a liquid and a solid.
