Why can't soap be used right away?

Soap has to cure for a while, or it will be caustic. It can make chemical burns on the skin. When soap is first prepared it usually contains residues of unreacted fat and lye. If used immediately and you get a piece of the unreacted lye on your skin it will cause a chemical burn, turning the fats in your skin into soap! If you wait before using the soap the unreacted lye will slowly turn unreacted fat into soap. This waiting time can be reduced or eliminated if you give the original fat and lye mixture longer to "cook" before making the bars of soap. To verify that the reaction is complete, take samples of the soap mixture in water and test for neutral pH 7, when it is neutral all the lye is used up.
