These days even soap that are said to be safe and gentle for sensitive skin are still made with that dangerous element that is called Lye. And it is made up of calcium hydroxide and lime, and as you know lye is a caustic chemical that is dangerous and corrosive.
Those of you who want to live a more chemical-free way must decide to remove lye-based products from your life environment, and one of these products is your daily bar of soap. You can replace your store-bought bar of soap with homemade version of it that will be lye free and very easy to make. A glycerin-based soap is a much healthier replacement for your traditional store brand.
