Description

Lehman's Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) for Soap Making

Want to make bars of soap? You always start with lye (sodium hydroxide). The lye is blended with a fat such as coconut oil or palm oil. (Use coconut oil if lots of lather is desired.) A chemical reaction called saponification occurs, which produces glycerin and soap. As a result (even though ALL soap is made with lye), there is no lye remaining in a properly made bar of soap.

  • Available in two sizes: 2-lb or 5-lb resealable bag (each sold separately)

CAUTION: Sodium hydroxide (lye) is very dangerous prior to saponification. When using, wear gloves and goggles at all times and cover your skin. Never add water and avoid moisture.
