Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda, Soda Lye) – An alkali used to make soap. All soaps contain an alkali to start saponification, a fat and alkali process, which creates the soap. Many soap makers get around from declaring sodium hydroxide on their label by saying they use saponified oils or sodium(name of oil) which just means they are declaring the end process of the saponification process instead of noting all the beginning ingredients. If a soap bar ingredient listing has no listing of an alkali ingredient, then the company is simply lying about their ingredients. It is impossible for oils and butters to combine and lather without an alkali substance. We list all our ingredients on our packaging.
