AI overview
Soap is a cleaning product made from fats or oils combined with alkaline substances, which allows it to break down and remove dirt and oils from skin and surfaces. It matters because its unique chemical properties enable it to mix oil and water together, making it effective at washing away oily substances that water alone cannot remove.
