Soaps feel slippery on our hands because they dissolve the oil on our skin, decreasing friction.This is because soap contains a neutral molecule. a salt molecule. an acid. a base.

OpenStudy (asib1214):

soap is generally made up of oil and a base and that's why when you apply soap on your hands it dissolves the fatty acids and oils from your skin and this cuts down on the friction between your fingers as you rub them together. Therefore it's a base.
