Most fatty substances such as oils ,butter etcc.. However it does not mean that they cannot remain suspended as particles in the water. Such would be called an immulsion.

The adage is that like dissolves like. Water in polar so it dissolves polar substances (ionic compounds and polar organic compounds). Oils are non polar so they will dissolve non polar compounds. This is how soap works. One part of the molecule is soluble in oil (non polar) the other water (polar). So when you use it you dissolve part in water and the other part will dissolve in the oil. So when you rinse the water will wash away the soap which is hanging on to the oil; removing it. As suggested above add some cooking oil to water. They are immiscible and the oil should float on top. Then take some dish washing detergent add it to the oil and water and mix. The water will become cloudy, this is the detergent dispersing the oil in the water. Experiment with the quantities, only add a small amount of oil.
