I would guess it's mildly basic, but not so basic that it harms our epidermis. Saponification is the process of making soap, and it transforms an ester into a carboxylate in the presence of excess base

All depends on the soap - for example, the pH of Dove is 6, Oil of Olay is 7, Shield is 9 and Camay, Yardley and Nivea are 10. Your skins natural pH is 5.5. soaps that are too basic and have a high pH will remove your natural oils and disrupt your pH balance

The pH of water soap solutions is low basic. The exact value depends on the type and producer.
