Hi Jessica! Hooray for making your first batch of milk soap!
Your soap needs to cure at least 4 weeks, whether you cut it into bars sooner or later.
I like to cut into bars at least a couple days after making though, because I feel you get a more even cure that way.
The soap gentles and improves in many ways during the cure period.
Classic Bells has a really good article about curing soap that you may enjoy reading! :)

Made my first batch today with raw cows milk! Is there any perks to letting the soap set up/cure for longer after cutting? Someone mentioned to me that the lye might be further “deactivated” if I may. Thoughts? If it doesnt make any difference, then I’m not sure I see the point in waiting, but just wanted to check 😊. Thank you!
