'Does this soap contain lye??'

This post is an answer I get to a very-often asked question (that for some reason, I didn't include in my FAQ's post earlier.....).

So, here's my question to you..... Is there live flame in ashes? Nope. There needed to be fire and wood (fuel) and oxygen to eventually get the end result of ashes (which is the fuel, but chemically changed into a new material). In the same way, the original question is answered; does the soap contain lye? Nope. One of the materials needed to make the soap included lye, but at the end, all the materials have been chemically changed to become soap (a new material).

Properly made soap contains no residual lye (just as an old campfire should have no flames). And you can be sure I've done it properly, since I test all my batches myself. Believe me, if there was any lye in this soap, I would know! ;)
