Anionic surfactants carry a net negative charge, while cationic surfactants carry a net positive charge so they can't be the same ingredients in the Sugar Soap and the Elbow grease, if one contains anionic and the other cationic surfactants. The key difference between anionic and cationic surfactants is their charge, which affects their behavior in solution and their interactions with other molecules.
