Oviously a base...
It's a base.
A soap is a base and not an acid, so it does not have any acids in it.
Neither - soap is a base, with a basic - not acidic - pH level.

Soap is typically a base because it is made up of molecules that have a polar head and a nonpolar tail. This allows soap to interact with both water and oils to help them mix together and be washed away.
A soap is a salt made from the reaction of a fatty acid with an alkali, typically sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. It does not contain acid or base as the reaction between the fatty acid and alkali neutralizes these components to form the soap molecule.
Yes, soap has the ability to neutralize acids because it is a base. When soap comes into contact with an acid, it can react with the acid to form a neutral substance, thereby neutralizing the acid.
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.
