Let's talk about Lye

Aka Caustic Soda or Sodium Hydroxide. It is an essential ingredient in soap making, it is not possible to make soap without it. 

A bar made without Lye is not actually soap but a syndet bar, just like our shampoo bars. They are made of other ingredients and have different properties.

When soap makers say "we don't use lye," they are referring to the fact that they're using a ready-made soap base known as "melt and pour." Although lye was used in the production of the base, it's no longer present in the final product because it has completely reacted during the soap-making process. So, while they're technically telling the truth about not using lye, it was used in creating the initial base.

Lye has been used for centuries in natural soap making and when used correctly, it can help create safe, all-natural products. 

Our Sodium Hydroxide is made from common table salt that is dissolved in water and electrodes introduce electricity into the mix (called electrolysis), creating chloride, hydrogen, and lye.

However (according to the British and European Cosmetic Laws), you won’t find Sodium Hydroxide on our labels since it is NOT present in the final product.
When an oil has saponified (turned into soap), it will get a new chemical name (rather than its original botanical name). For example, Shea butter is called Butyrospermum Parkii; after mixing with lye it becomes Sodium Shea Butterate which is still Shea Butter but the saponified version.

Whenever a recipe is formulated professionally, Lye will completely disappear during saponification, whilst turning the beautiful oils and butters into soap.

Water (Aqua)
We use it to make our lye solution that will be mixed with the oils. This water then evaporates from the soap during the curing period of 4-6 weeks.

Glycerine
Naturally occurring during saponification. It is sometimes referred to as the most powerful moisture magnet. Helps to protect the skin from environmental sources of irritation and makes dry skin feel amazingly soft and supple.
