sodium hydroxidesodium hydroxide

sodium hydroxide, caustic soda, lye, NaOH


sodium hydroxide is a toxic product in its raw state. an alkali. when combined with oil or fat saponification occurs. saponifiable substances are those that can be converted into soap.

oils or fats that are saponified with sodium hydroxide form a hard bar of soap.

all oils and fats have their own saponification levels.

each soap recipe needs to be calculated accurately so that there is no active lye remaining once saponification has taken place.

most bar soap recipes are ‘superfatted’ leaving excess oil, for moisturising, once the saponification process is completed.
