Alkaline soaps by nature are meant to remove oils (think of your dish soap washing a greasy pan) but sometimes some of the good oils come with that as well, soap can not distinguish. So that is why we use lotion on our skin, or conditioner after shampooing to replace some of the good moisturizing oils that were washed away.
