Basically making soap is combining oil with the right amount of lye solution.  And yes, in making handmade soap, we do use lye.  Lye is a dangerous substance, but if you do it correctly, all will be neutralized by the end of the process.

So before jumping into making soap, take time to obtain as much information as you can.  Safety is a big issue in making soap, always wear your goggles and protective clothing.  Don't take chances.

Let the fun begins.
