Soap is made up of two "ends"; i.e., a head an a tail end. One end loves water (the polar end) and the other end loves oils (the non-polar end). So the soap serves as a bridge between the oil mixture and the water mixture; thus allowing the two to mix. Materials that can act as a bridge in this manner are emulsifying agents.

Soap work as a bridge between water molecules and fat molecules
