My mom gave me some hand-made bar soaps last year but I haven't used any of them yet because she said they melt at room temperature so the three bars have been sitting in my fridge, untouched (she told me to keep them in the freezer though and that sounded wrong to me even though I have no experience working with soap making). I don't know if it could be an imbalance of lye causing the melting and since I know too much lye can be harmful, I don't know if they're safe to use. Should I just play it safe and toss it?
