Does lye soap contain animal fat?

Here is the answer to your next soap making question:

The answer is, not unless you include animal fat in the oils used to produce your soap.

If you are making the soap yourself it is a matter of choosing vegetable based oils, such as coconut oil and olive oil etc.

If you are purchasing the soap it can be a little more difficult to determine unless you buy homemade soap which usually lists the oils used.
