Skin sensitivity & safety
Always do a patch test on a small area of skin before full use. Lye (sodium hydroxide) is caustic in its raw form — handle with gloves and eye protection during cold-process soap making; the finished, cured bar is safe. Essential oils in soap can still cause allergic contact reactions or photosensitivity for some users.
