soapier

Foamier when scrubbed

Soapier is the comparative form of soapy—more resembling or covered with soap.

Something soapier has more lather, a slicker texture, or a stronger soap-like quality: This detergent makes the water soapier than the old brand.

Can also describe taste or texture that unpleasantly recalls soap: The cilantro made the dish taste even soapier.
