Yes, soaps made with lye are safe to use on the skin once they have been properly cured. This usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks but at Mom’s Beauty Secrets, all soaps are cured for at least 7 weeks. This leads to harder and longer lasting soaps.  Once the lye converts, the extra oils remain and this results in a more moisturizing bar.
