FAQs
What Would You Like to Know?
Why is sodium hydroxide not in your list of ingredients?
Sodium hydroxide (aka: lye or potash) is a highly caustic ingredient, but soap cannot be made without this ingredient. After the "Saponification Process" the lye then changes it's chemical structure, as it turns into soap and rendering your finished product lye free. I also believe "superfatting" is also important, to aid your oils in overpowering any "free-lye", if there is any remaining.
