Is lye (sodium hydroxide) used to make handmade soaps?
- The answer is -- of course.
-
No lye -- No soap!
All REAL soap is made with lye (sodium hydroxide mixed with liquid).Any skin or hair cleansing product made without sodium hydroxide is not soap, it is detergent.
The chemical reaction of making soap is called saponification. This is when the lye and oil molecules have combined and chemically changed into soap and glycerin. There is no lye present in the finished bars of soap after saponification.
Our soaps are made in small batches. The design on each new batch may differ slightly. But, we guarantee that every new batch is equally beautiful.
Allergy Warning:
All my soaps are perfectly safe for sensitive skin. However, if you have specific sensitivities and/or allergies please read the ingredient list carefully before purchasing.
Products may have come into contact with nut products, wheat, or soya.
*** Most of our soaps also contain Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Sunflower Oil, and/or Avocado Butter. Our soaps may have come into contact with these or other allergens, such as almonds, peanuts, and other tree nuts. If you or a gift recipient has allergic reactions to any of our soaps, we recommend discontinuing use of any of our soaps.
