Lye for Soap Making for Consumers

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye or caustic soda, serves as a versatile compound with diverse applications. As a primary ingredient in soap production, lye forms an excellent base for the creation of lye soap. Our lye is packaged in a safe container equipped with a resealable, child-resistant cap, ensuring both convenience and safety.

Food-grade lye, which is sodium hydroxide of the highest purity levels, is clean of impurities and therefore safe for use in food preparation within the kitchen. This lye has traditionally been the key ingredient in the art of soap making, making it the perfect choice for those seeking to craft all-natural, award-winning, homemade, and handcrafted soaps.

Beyond its role in soap production, food-grade lye is utilized in the preparation of various foods. It is responsible for the distinctive dark, shiny, and crispy texture of pretzels, bagels, and German lye rolls. Additionally, lye is employed in the making of Chinese noodles, hominy (dried corn), and dried fish.

Lye's versatility extends to its use as a drain cleaner and clog remover. The corrosive nature of sodium hydroxide allows it to effectively break down and clear the toughest drain clogs caused by grease and hair, without causing harm to the pipes.

In summary, this versatile compound, lye, offers a wide range of applications, from soap making to food preparation and even plumbing maintenance. Its unique properties and diverse uses make it an indispensable tool in various industries and households.
