    Product description

    Sodium hydroxide (lye) is an essential component of making soap. Our sodium hydroxide is in bead form. We chose beads because we find them easier to work with than flakes. They also dissolve more easily and flow out of the container with ease. If static is an issue, wipe your measuring container with a dryer sheet before filling with lye. Our lye is sourced in the USA and is 99.2% pure!

    You can't make soap without lye! In its pure form lye is caustic. Once added to oils and water, the process of saponification occurs and no lye is left in the final product (soap) if used correctly.

      Easy to Use

      I personally like the beads better than the flakes with using goat milk because the flakes take so much longer to dissolve, and it can be difficult to tell if they are fully dissolved or not.

      Great product

      I really liked the sodium hydroxide (lye) I’d purchased. It was 100% lye so I didn’t have to worry about any impurities. Dissolved well in liquid and my soaps turned out beautifully.

      High Quality

      One of my go-to lyes for soap-making. I love that this lye does not have much static so you don't have to worry about the lye jumping around when pouring.

      The only one I use

      I love that it is in bead form. I like them much better than the flakes I’ve used from other suppliers in the past.
