Soapmakers measure the acidity or alkalinity of bath soap by its pH level on a scale of 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline). Substances at either end of the scale, such as sulfuric acid and lye, are harmful to skin.

the pH level in Lysol hand soap is 5.8the pH level in Equate hand soap is 6.9the pH level in Dial hand soap is 6.1the pH level in Soft Soap hand soap is 6.7
Dawn Ultra Concentrated Antibacterial Hand Soap and Dish Washing liquid has a pH of 9. Ivory Dish Soap from the same manufacturer has a pH of 7.4. Soap naturally has a high pH, but many commercial soaps have buffers to normalize the ph. This is how some soaps keep from burning eyes and making people break out in rashes. Industrial soaps use the same trick to keep from reacting with metals.
The pH of dish soap would be a base, but depending on the type of soap one is using, the actual pH number would differ.
Soap, no matter how good a soap is, is soap. The pH will never change in relation to the quality of soap. It is a 'basic' pH'ed molecule (NaOH).
Because if its pH is too high then it'll probably harm your hands when you wash them!
Higher PH levels in soap means there is more alkalinity in the formula. As a result, soap can wash away oils, grease and dirt better with high PH levels.

Not known, but Hamam Soap is a mild soap made in India, to protect the skin from rashes, heat, and pimples. Being a mild soap its pH will about '6'. since human skin has a pH of about 5.5. Traditional soap, sodium stearate, has a pH of about 7, neutrality. Since the human skin has a pH of about 5.5 a soap with a slightly lower pH is beneficial, since it does not 'dry ' the skin, and maintains the natural pH.

pH 5.5 which is about the same pH as the skin.
The pH level of cinthol soap is 9.5.
