Biodegradable simply means that a compound will break down when exposed to environmental agents including water and UV light (i.e. sunlight).
Biodegradable soaps will harm aquatic life; they should not be used in lakes and streams. Please follow Leave No Trace principles and wash/dispose of waste water at least 200 feet / 70m away from open water.
