Soap making is chemistry not cooking.

Sodium hydroxide or lye is a necessity in the process of soap making. When you bake a cake and you mix two ingredients together those ingredients primarily remain the same. You can taste the chocolate and vanilla. In soap making a chemical process called saponification happens when you mix oil and sodium hydroxide together in the proper quantities. There's no more sodium hydroxide left in the soap once it becomes soap. Think about it just like salt. Salt consists of sodium and chlorine. Separately both of those chemicals would kill you if you ingested them but when mixed together they create salt. When you ingest salt it does not separate and become sodium and chlorine it remains salt.

Some things that make natural soap different than store-bought soap

No more soap slivers.

You can stick two pieces of natural soap together and they will stick like glue. Because there are no chemicals to react with each other you can stick two pieces of different natural soap together and they will stick. Even the smallest sliver doesn't generally crack and become brittle. You can still scar it enough to wet it and stick it to a new bar of soap. Eliminating wasteful slivers.

What is hot process soap?

Hot process and cold process refer to two popular methods for making soap. Both involve the exactly same process. The main difference is the application of heat to speed up the chemical reaction by cooking out the water. Making the soap instantly usable.
