It is a acid base.
Acid. Its more corrosive. Base is in our soaps etc.
Many 'soaps' are neutral or basic, a few might be acidic
basic i think, you wouldn't really want acid on yourself. the soaps gotta be able to react with water and grease.
Washing detergent is nearly always alkaline or antacid. There are some special purpose soaps - called soapless soaps, that are mildly acidic, but they are for special purposes and not usually encountered. On the other hand, detergents with ammonia in them are strongly alkaline.

All soaps are basic (when talking pH scale).
Lauric acid is put in soaps

Soap is a base. Many bases have the same slippery properties that soap does.
all acids are sour in taste and all bases are bitter in taste.

I am not sure but I believe soaps are acids, because liquid soap is an acid.ANS2:Soap is a salt formed from the reaction of sodium hydroxide with steric (octadecanoic) acid, a component of fat. Being the salt of a weak acid, it will function as a pH buffer. To answer your question, it is neither an acid or a base.
