LYE
Let's talk about Lye
Also known as Caustic Soda or Sodium Hydroxide, lye is an essential ingredient in soap making. Without it, soap simply cannot be made.
A bar made without lye isn't truly soap; it's a syndet bar, like shampoo bars, which are crafted from different ingredients and have distinct properties.
When soap makers claim "we don't use lye," they mean they use a pre-made soap base called "melt and pour." Though lye was used to create this base, it has fully reacted and is no longer present in the final product. So, while they technically don't use lye in their process, it was essential for making the initial base.
Lye has been a staple in natural soap making for centuries. When used correctly, it helps create safe, all-natural products.
Our Sodium Hydroxide is derived from common table salt. This salt is dissolved in water, and electricity is introduced through electrolysis, producing chloride, hydrogen, and lye.
Sodium Hydroxide will NOT present in the final product. Once oils have saponified (transformed into soap), they receive new chemical names. For example, Shea Butter becomes Sodium Shea Butterate after mixing with lye, indicating its saponified form.
When a recipe is professionally formulated, lye completely disappears during saponification, transforming the luxurious oils and butters into soap.
THE REST
Water (Aqua)
We use water to create our lye solution, which is then mixed with oils. During the curing period of 4-6 weeks, this water evaporates from the soap.
Glycerin
Naturally occurring during saponification, glycerin is often hailed as the most powerful moisture magnet. It helps protect the skin from environmental irritants and leaves dry skin feeling incredibly soft and supple.
