sodium hydroxide lye flakes
Lye, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a necessity when creating cold process soap. Lye interacts with oils and water in a process called saponification, which turns the oils into soap. We highly suggest using our sodium hydroxide lye 50/50 solution and skipping this step of having to create the solution yourself. When using lye flakes, ALWAYS pour the flakes into the liquid, and not the other way around.
