It’s the same as crescent wrench and adjustable wrench.

Dawn is made by Proctor & Gamble, who keeps their recipe very secret. While their marketing spokesperson says that part of it's power is due to the high concentration of its surfactants, it was also designed to be gentle on hands (through pH modifiers). Because it is gentle on hands, it is also safe for use on animals.
While the recipe is a highly confidential trade secret, the ingredients, of course, are listed on the bottle (although I learned that, unlike food, the ingredients in non-food items do not have to be listed in order of their percentage in the product). Numerous and various surfactants are listed but there is one item several chemists say is absent from the other dishwashing liquids agains which they compared Dawn...petroleum. Ironic, isn't it? Apparently, petroleum in whatever form it's in helps to separate grease from whatever it's adhered to.
So, there you have it: surfactants, high concentration, pH modifiers, and petroleum is the answer to the original question.
Outside of that, the numerous testimonials give credence to the old adage, "the plural of antidote is data."
