Answer:True

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a property of base that they are slippery. Also when they react with oils on skin they form a soap-like substance which feels slippery on contact. Basically they react with acid molecules on skin which is called fatty acid.

Bases are harder to remove from the skin as compared to acids and can also give extensive damage to the skin.
