yes, it is safe. Common sense measures such as not inhaling the lye and working in a well ventilated area apply. =)

All soap has lye in it. If it doesn’t then it’s a detergent, which very bad for the skin. The lye “matches up” with the oil used in the recipe and becomes soap. This process is called sopanofication. The soap has to cure for several weeks for all the lye to bond with the oils to become soap. Typically this happens in 4-6 weeks. You can speed this process up by doing what is called Hot Process, which uses heat to speed up the sopanofication process.

You have to let the lye turn into soap, and this can take several weeks. If you use it too soon, the soap will be very bad for your skin. The bar also has to try out, and get hard. It’s best to let your soap cure for 4-6 weeks.

This is a fantastic video. I made my first batch of soap in years today and I watched your video before hand to just get a refresher. It is tempting to peek at the soaps, isn’t it? I can’t wait until tomorrow when I can pull it out of the molds. Thanks for the vid!

Wow, you’ve taught over 10,000 people how to make soap! Congratulations! Woudln’t it be nice if everyone could get away from the toxic bars sold in the grocery store!
You did a 5* job. Beats me why no one rated already!

Distilled or …
Distilled or bottled water from a good source are best. Some tap water contains minerals that can do weird things in soap. Usually, these contaminants wind up floating and forming a “skin” at the top of the lye/water mixture, so you’ll likely know they are there.

I’m not sure what …
I’m not sure what you mean by “conventional soap.” This is the soapmaking method that has been used for centuries. Lye is extremely toxic, but if soap is made correctly, there is no lye in the soap. Please see our video “The Chemistry of Soapmaking” for an explanation. You cannot make soap without lye.

How come it takes weeks to use the soap like you mentioned at the end, and why does soap has to use lye?

I am wondering though, where do you get your lye? I am having an *incredibly* difficult time finding it, other than online… I hate buying things from online so I avoid it as much as possible. I’ve tried Lowe’s, they said they didn’t have it? Thanks for your answer 
Great video, I’ve been researching for over a year on how to make soap via cold process method, and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen, good work
