Lye – Sodium Hydroxide

$3.00

8oz container of lye

Our lye is of the small pearl rounded version. It is a pure solid undiluted chemical that is needed to make soap. We advise that special care be taken when using lye to make soap.

Lye can be dangerous if it’s not handled properly. Learn how to work with it safely before getting started. Find out how much to use in your recipe with the Lye Calculator. With safety gear on, gloves, goggles, long sleeves, carefully measure the lye into a glass container. Measure distilled water or other liquid into a separate container. Slowly pour the lye into the liquid, never the other way around, and stir until it’s dissolved. Let cool and then pour into oils.

  • Produces an exothermic reaction when mixed with water, thus resulting in opened drains that are extremely clogged.
  • When mixed with fats and oils, it will effectively make soap from a process of saponification.
