What effort have you put into find this out with your own research?

Many of those materials you list in post #1 are not soap; some of them are detergents but not soaps. By curiosity, what is or are the first TWO ingredients listed on the container? A regulation about listing ingredients on label is that they are supposed to be listed in decreasing quantities.

An answer you need to know is, what is a soap?

Here's a collection of recipes to choose from with ingredient amounts:

You could compare lists and see which recipe is closest to your ingredient list.

Sometimes, people will have reverse engineered your soap product which you might find via google search.

If you really want to learn to produce soap, learn about and how to manage saponification, fat materials, and caustic soda and caustic potash - AND the proper practices to handle and store the caustics safely.

In the link in Jedishfru's post above, all the warnings are to do with two ingredient (can you guess which) and to stop severe chemical burns to your skin and to avoid blinding yourself. The cold process and the hot process mentioned are the ones where you might get injured. The final product could be contaminated if you use too much of the dangerous ingredient and some is left behind in the soap.
