Can anyone tell me what the difference between melt and pour soap and homemade lye soap? I'm really having fun learning how to make my own soap from scratch, I'm excited about trying some of the different things I've seen but many recipes call for using melt and pour soap. but I'm really not interested in the least in using m & P. Can I make my own soap and melt it down like the m & p? I've even tried researching if there is a special way to making specifically melt and pour but I have not had any success in finding any explinations. I'd sure appreciate any input someone may have on this. :?:
