Hate to burst anyone’s bubble but you can’t make soap without lye. ALL SOAP is made with lye but when properly measured it is not present in the final bar of soap. I think what Notawesome does is either rebatching or melt & pour. That’s when you make soap from a pre-made glycerin base or soap shreds and do not actually combine oils/butters and lye (i.e. make the soap) yourself. But at some point the base or shreds were created using lye. Otherwise it wouldn’t be soap.

Pringles tubes also work very well for makeshift molds…

I make soaps myself and you have the option of not using lye either when making soap from scratch or purchasing from a buyer that doesn’t use it. I make pure vegan soaps and they contain only glyercine and olive oil. Some soapers use palm oil as a way to save money, personally I fuckin’ hate it because it doesn’t leave skin feeling as good as if you use olive oil. It’s just a way to save money. ALSO, many soapers use detergent based ingredients as well that dry out skin. Nasty shit.

Do all soaps have lye? Also why do you have to use lye. Also why do some soapers use palm oils and others don’t? Thanks
