The fundamental 
difference between soaps and detergents is that soaps are produced from natural ingredients, while detergents are made from synthetic sources.Soap is made from a combination of fats and oils, which are taken from plants and animals and combined with sodium or potassium salts to produce a solid mixture. 
the ionic group of soap is COO – AND na+ and detergent is so3- and na+ 
soap are biodegradable but detergents are non biodegradable . 
soap have weak cleaning action than detergent
