Why is sodium hydroxide slippery on your fingers

Sodium hydroxide is a base that, like many bases, feels slippery when it’s on your fingers.
Explain why.

Sodium Hydroxide reacts with the oils in your skin to make soap and after it's done with that it'll go for your skin so don't get any on your hands.

Because sodium is a group 1 metal (alkali metal) they have a property which is not similar to other metals .. Which is softness .. They are too slippery !

The slippery feeling is caused because your skin dissolves a little when you touch them.
