Does any one know where I can find lye free soap online? or where I can find a recipe to make my own?

Ok, so Im sick of using store bought soap that has nothing but harash chemicals that dry out the skin. I bought a bar of pure natural lye free chemical free soap at a yard sale. I haven't used it yet because I want to get more soap like that and the online store on the package doesn't have a whole lot of variety. I was wondering if anyone knows of a store or maybe even an online farmers market that sells all natural soaps without lye or if you know of a recipe I can use to make my own soap? I want to try different natural ingredients and It seems like the more I search for Lye free soap recipes they say that you can't make soap without it. Which I dont think is true because I bought lye free soap. Any ideas? Thanks :)

Sorry, but you can't make soap without using lye. Lye is essential for the chemical reaction (saponification) that turns fats into soap. If lye isn't used you are really just rubbing fat on your body.
That being said, there shouldn't be any lye in any soap. Lye is highly caustic and will burn skin quite badly. Soap makers add more fats than needed just so they're always sure that the lye is completely used up.
Any soap that is claiming it is "lye-free" is therefore just making a claim that any soap ever made should be able to make, or is not really a soap it is a detergent bar (check the ingredients).
