ELI5- What is “soap”? We have bar soap, dish soap, antibacterial soap like dial, hand soap, foaming hand soap and more I’m sure. What ties them together to all be called soap?
In: Chemistry
“Soap” is a purpose, not a chemical. “Soap” is primarily for cleaning human skin, and secondarily for things touched by human skin. It isn’t defined (anymore, at least) by a singular chemical definition.
