Kind to your hands, harsh on grease?

I was going to write about my new Netgear DG834PN that I got today, but that will have to come later.

I finished washing up a few minutes ago, and I thought:

Is it really possible for a dishwashing liquid to be kind to your hands, yet harsh on grease? I don’t think so. I am sure the natural oils in your skin are a major factor in keeping it soft and supple, so how can a washing up liquid dissolve animal fat (oil) from dishes, yet leave your own natural skin oils on your hands?
