Laundry soap questions

The only way to tell is to try it - I tend to grab the dry end, or hold it with whatever Im rubbing it on, or with, or whatever. Its not uranium - the worst it will do is try out your skin and you will need to rinse well and use lotion after.

Thanks, for some reason I was thinking it would burn like the raw batter.

Freshly made, slightly zappy soap dries out my fingertips and makes the skin rough, but it doesn't burn or hurt ... just dried out. I can see why laundresses had horribly dry chapped hands back in the days of hand laundering. But once in awhile isn't all that bad.
