How Our Score Is Calculated

Product Description

Sodium hydroxide or caustic soda are other names for lye. For the production of lye soap, lye makes an excellent soap base. Our lye is packaged in a child-resistant container that can be resealed.
For soap making, technical grade lye (non-food grade) is the preferred lye. Drain clogs, oven grease removal, and cleaning are just a few of the other uses for this potent lye in the home.
In the past, lye was the primary ingredient in soap production. Do you want to make award-winning, all-natural, handcrafted soaps at home? You've found the right lye!
Drain cleaners and clog removers are made with lye. Sodium hydroxide's corrosive nature allows it to eat through even the toughest grease and hair clogs without causing damage to your pipes!
Many cleaning agents contain lye, which is an excellent grease remover for the oven. Extra caution should be exercised when handling sodium hydroxide.

It's not pure lye, but it's false advertising
3/5

I purchased it for both personal consumption and soap-making purposes. "Pure lye," according to the description. It isn't pure, and it doesn't appear to be refundable.

Produces excellent soaps
5/5

When it comes to making soap, I absolutely adore Red Crown! I've been using it for over three years and have never been disappointed. My mixture is always clear, with no lye residue that does not mix. I would strongly advise using it to make soap. Other than that, I haven't used it.

I was let down
3/5

The container had been opened when it was halfway full. This purchase will be returned because I am dissatisfied with it.

It works
5/5

My review is currently being edited. I made three loaves of soap with this, and they all turned out perfectly.

It has the potential to be hazardous
5/5

This arrived exactly on time. It's worked well for my soap recipe, and I like that the lid has a safety feature that prevents it from falling off when the directions are followed. This could easily result in a sipll that is extremely dangerous.

Everything about the product was accurate
5/5

I'm not sure how much I know about this product. I can attest to the fact that it arrived quickly, and I used it to make soap with it. All of the product concerns and warnings were read to me. Gloves, goggles, and other protective equipment were worn, among other things.

It's perfect for cold process soap! I used this to make my first batch of cold process soap; it had a little static to it, but it was otherwise very simple to use
5/5

Because I made my lye solution outside, there wasn't a lot of fume. For my soap, it worked perfectly.

Making Soap with Lye I'm a big fan of lye for soap making
5/5

It's the only LYE I use because I discovered it a few years ago. It's simple to use and goes well with all of our soap-making supplies.
