shivam asked:

When you tested the soap that you use for bathing , the PH strip turned green. Whatdoes it indicate about the nature of the soap?

    Soaps are basic; they’re made with fatty acids and a very very strong base. Most of it is neutralized during saponification, but some base remains. (This is what gives it the “slippery” feeling.

    Assuming you’re using an universal indicator, green = base. But not matter what you’re using; soap is base.

    Hope this helps~
