Although this lie does not turn red when mixed with water, I only use it for soap making and am not sure if you should as well.
It's not food-grade because it's made of lye. There are a lot of big warning stickers on it.

We have a small homestead where we make goat's milk soap, and I've found that this lye works well and produces a nice bar. I've used it with both lard and plant-based fats, and they both work well. It cures in a consistent and reliable manner. Would suggest.
This is a brand that I'm not sure I like. I bought it because I couldn't find the brand I usually buy in time for peak shipping season. It was the only one available in the timeframe I required. The first thing I noticed was that all three batches of soap I made with it had a lot of "soda ash," which I had only encountered ONCE in three years of using my regular lye. Despite the fact that all three bars passed PH testing, I found that my personal use skin test - None of the bars were particularly appealing to my skin (I experienced some irritation after using them). The only thing I changed in my recipe was the amount of lye. Others in my household who have used the soaps have not had the same issue, but before I sell a soap in my store, all of the different skin types in my house must report NO irritation. It's possible that this is a good lye and had nothing to do with the outcome; it's just strange that it turned out this way. Sorry.
I was extremely dissatisfied with the lack of safety precautions. The bottle's lid had been completely removed, and the foil had been peeled away. This did not occur during transportation.
This is the only Lye I will ever use to make soap. It comes with a safety lock and is packaged safely, and it has been my go-to soap making tool for the past five years. It should last for at least a year, if not longer. I haven't kept it for that long, but with this lye-causing lye-heavy soap, I never have to worry about separation.
The containers make pouring the lye out a breeze. I used to use lye from a bag, but these are far superior. These were also the best deal I could find on Amazon at the time ($0. 44/oz. I'll remember to add it to my list of soap-making supplies!.
This is far superior to Draino crystals for clearing water from our drains when they slow down, and unlike Draino, this stuff works immediately and instantly, allowing you to use the sinks right away. Just be careful not to get hurt while using it, and keep it out of reach of children.
The packaging is very nice. This is what I use to make cold process soap with. The plastic containers are simple to pour out.
This lye bothers me because it contains small floaters that do not dissolve completely in cold process soap.
