Generally a diversity of oils is used in order to make up for the lack of animal fat. This process uses the hot process method of soap making; however, caustic soda or lye must be used in order to create the soaps. It is usually the only chemical found in the final product, and is an essential ingredient in order to maintain the product's shelf life, and so that the soap can properly saponify.
