Soap is typically basic in nature, meaning it has a pH greater than 7. This is because the alkali used in soap-making elevates its pH level. An alkaline pH helps soap to effectively remove oils and dirt from surfaces by breaking down the molecules.
Soap, no matter how good a soap is, is soap. The pH will never change in relation to the quality of soap. It is a 'basic' pH'ed molecule (NaOH).
pH scale.
The highest number on the pH scale is 14. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14.

Lava soap typically has a pH value of around 9-10, which falls on the alkaline side of the pH scale.
Palmolive dish soap typically has a pH level around neutral, which is close to 7 on the pH scale.
All soaps are basic (when talking pH scale).

its an alkali, the other side of the pH scale you numpty;)
The high pH in soap is typically due to the presence of alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide during the soap-making process. These substances help in saponification, the reaction that converts fats and oils into soap, resulting in a product with a pH level that is higher than neutral.

the pH scale
Common substances found on the basic side of the pH scale include baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), soap, bleach (sodium hypochlorite), and ammonia. These substances have a pH greater than 7 and tend to feel slippery or soapy to the touch.
