Product Details

Our lye comes as beads rather than flakes. Beads dissolve faster and pour out of the container more cleanly, and if static makes them cling while you are measuring, wiping the container with a dryer sheet stops it.

Lye is what makes soap from scratch possible. Once it reacts with your oils and water, saponification converts it, and a recipe that has been measured and mixed correctly leaves none of it in the finished bar.

⚠️ WARNING!!!
