No Lye No Soap
People definitely read more labels today than in the
past. While reading soap labels they may come across some that declare
there isn’t any lye in the soap. Well, that is technically correct because
during the process of saponification, which the oil, water, and lye mixture
produces, all of the ingredients are turned into soap. No one can make
soap without lye. When people make homemade soap they use lye and so do
soap manufacturers. It is because the manufacturers aren’t legally bound
to put lye or sodium hydroxide on their label that makes people think
their soap doesn’t contain lye.
Lye is the proper proportion to the other ingredients
becomes benign soap and isn’t harsh. When compared to the chemical bars
that are commercially called soap, a homemade
bar of lye soap is even gentler. The commercial soap is actually called
synthetic detergent bars. The artificial ingredients used to make those
false bars of soap are: petrochemicals, synthetic dyes, artificial fragrances,
and fillers. They remove most of the glycerin, which would otherwise moisturize
your skin; they to sell it. Yes, when you make your homemade soap you’ll
use lye.
The point is that once the saponification takes place
what is left behind is soap with glycerin. Truly it isn’t a lie to say
without lye there isn’t any soap made. But the reverse isn’t true. The
other basic ingredients you’ll use to make your homemade lye soap are
water and oil or lard. You can add colorant and other natural additives
depending on what attributes you want your homemade lye soap to have like
fragrance.
