When soap makers make soap, they use acid in the process. However during the saponification process the harmful acid combines with the fats to form soap. In cold process soaps you need to let your soap cure, during that process the dangerous unreacted lye that may be in the soap converts to soap, thus it would be safe to use after aprox 2 weeks.
If you are using Melt & Pour Soap, all lye (acid) converts and reacts with the Oils since heat is used in the soap making process. The Melt & Pour Soap is ready for use immediately after being made.
