Basically soaps are made by saponification of triglycerides, that is oils.
In the process sodium or potassium salts of the fatty acid tail of oil, form, which have alkaline nature, being salts of strong base and
weak acids
Yes, you need alkalis (NaOH or KOH) in order to saponify a substance. However, if you know what you are doing and use the right amount and no more it will all dissipate in the curing process.
The alkali most commonly used today is sodium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide can also be used.
Sodium hydroxcide
soap is a weak alkali
Water is neutral and soap for your face is neutral (PH 7) and soap for your body etc is alkali (PH 8-10).
It is in soap That is what makes it slippery
Fats, oil and alkali. Fat and oil react with sodium hydroxide (alkali).
yes, Soap is an alkali When you mix oils, alkali and water, they chemically react and turn into soap and glycerin Soap is very unusual, acting like a snake with two heads. The oily head hates water and the alkali head loves water. When you mix soap and water, this love/hate relationship causes soap to lather.

no it is alkali
It is in soap That is what makes it slippery
A soap contains a strong alkali,because it produces OH- ions in the water.
example of an alkali is a soap soap helps us clean our body so it is useful for living things
A soap has alkali in it because it is a cleaning product
