Re: Soapy Feels
They react with the acidic molecules in skin (fatty acids), reducing friction between fingers when they are rubbed together.

Re: Soapy Feels
Bases react with cells in skin, dissolving the fatty acids and oils from your skin; therefore, it decreases the friction between fingers when rubbing together.
