Soap is made from natural oils and fats and detergents normally are made from synthetic surfactants although there is an increasing number of detergents from natural derived ingredients

The fats and oils used in soapmaking come from animal or plant sources. Each fat or oil is made up of a distinctive mixture of several different triglycerides.
