You didn't even read through the table of contents, nor the initial summary. Both soaps have their own, named subsection, while in the abstract you'll find a succinct explanation which will make sense once you've read that liquid soap is a detergent. >Soap is created by mixing fats and oils with a base, as opposed to detergent which is created by combining chemical compounds in a mixer.

Sorry, the article is broken. I don't see a toc on mobile and the section on liquid soap has been misplaced at the end of the history section. Thanks for the clarification.

You're getting it wrong and you're confusing everybody. Detergent isn't non-toilet soap. Toilet soap can also be liquid soap. It took me all day to figure this out and understand what you were talking about. Under toilet soap: > In a domestic setting, "soap" usually refers to what is technically called a toilet soap, used for household and personal cleaning. I'm not sure if that also includes detergent like dish detergent, but it's certainly not non-toilet soap. Under non-toilet soap: > Soaps are key components of most lubricating greases and thickeners. Greases are usually emulsions of calcium soap or lithium soap and mineral oil.[5] Many other metallic soaps are also useful, including those of aluminium, sodium, and mixtures thereof. Such soaps are also used as thickeners to increase the viscosity of oils. In ancient times, lubricating greases were made by the addition of lime to olive oil.[6] > METALLIC SOAPS ARE COMPOUNDS OF ALKALINE metals or heavy metals and monobasic carboxylic acids containing from 7 to 22 carbon atoms. The water-insoluble metallic soaps are of particular interest to the coatings industry, although potassium and lithium soaps have limited water solubility. They can also be lubricants for machines and you don't want to use any of this for cleaning anything at home.
