Cf. {Saponaceous}.] A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather, and is used as a cleansing agent.

Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft. Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they are insoluble and useless. The purifying action of soap depends upon the fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of water into free alkali and an insoluble acid salt. The first of these takes away the fatty dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus tends to remove it. --Roscoe & Schorlemmer. {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled, made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles, [or] Venetian, soap}. {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of different ingredients and color, which are hard and compact.

See under {Marine}. {Pills of soap} (Med.), pills containing soap and opium. {Potash soap}, any soap made with potash, esp. the soft soaps, and a hard soap made from potash and castor oil. {Pumice soap}, any hard soap charged with a gritty powder, as silica, alumina, powdered pumice, etc., which assists mechanically in the removal of dirt. {Resin soap}, a yellow soap containing resin, -- used in bleaching. {Silicated soap}, a cheap soap containing water glass (sodium silicate). {Soap bark}. (Bot.) See {Quillaia bark}. {Soap bubble}, a hollow iridescent globe, formed by blowing a film of soap suds from a pipe; figuratively, something attractive, but extremely unsubstantial.

It is called also {soap apple}, {soap bulb}, and {soap weed}. {Soap tree}. (Bot.) Same as {Soapberry tree}. {Soda soap}, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps are all hard soaps. {Soft soap}, a soap of a gray or brownish yellow color, and of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the lye from wood ashes.
