Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hi Candace, There is no lye in soap - unless its made very badly. Soap is the chemical reaction between lye and the oils (fats) used. Ive used hand made soap for 20 years, and even carry a little sliver in my bag to wash my hands if I am out. No way am I going to use commercial stuff. (who has a business selling supplies to soapmakers) At 08:19 PM 7/17/2004 -0500, you wrote: >No - I'm not really into that kind of thing.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 There is no " lye " in the end product if made correctly. It is the only hand and body soap that we use here at home, and I have VERY sensitive skin. I love making soap!!! Angelia in OR who needs to make more soap, we are almost out! ----- Original Message ----- > No - I'm not really into that kind of thing. I get cetaphil <sp>, and I > have no problems with it.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Ah , do you have a web site? I have been more and more interested on products not tested on animals. And most of the grocery store stuff does just that. Puts the soap in their eyes and worse.. it breaks my heart... sus -----Original Message----- From: Hi Candace, There is no lye in soap - unless its made very badly.
