if i remember correctly NaOH is the active ingredient in soap, it's a base, and it works by causing minute caustic burns to your skin which lets a whole bunch of dirt loose.

cleansing soap is sodiumstearate (C17H35COONa). they're the two salts which dissolve in water, they the two contain Na+ions (while dissolved). they're the two unharmful for wellbeing and nature. diverse is that "NaStr" has no Cl-ions, and it has an rather long chain; This chain 'stings' including varied different "NaStr's" in airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust (fat as an occasion), purely like many needles in a pillow. The 'hydrophillic' element of the needle (the section which 'likes' to dissolve in water) makes the completed fatdrop dissolve in water.
