Sodium Hydroxide - Pure - Food Grade (Caustic Soda, Lye) (2 Pound Jar)

This product has worked well for me. It always comes safely packaged. It's perfect for soap making. I have made soap with it for a while now, and have never had a failed batch. Safe and easy to measure and pour. Good value.

If you’re diving into cold-process soap, this is your magic ingredient. This NaOH is high-purity, lab-grade clean, and perfect for soap, biodiesel production, cleaning prep, or even food uses (like pretzels—yep, seriously). But let’s focus on soap: I’ve used this exact jar to make multiple 1–2 lb loaf batches of cold process, and it’s consistent, easy to measure, and behaves beautifully in solution.The 2 lb jar gives you plenty of product for a good run of batches, and the crystal form dissolves cleanly—no clumps, no weird off-gassing if you mix it properly. Just respect it: always add lye to water, never the other way around. And ventilate—your face will thank you.

I use this one to make pretzels. It works real well and easy to use. This is a big bottle, I think it can last a long time.

Great product! I use this for making soap. Fair price and always arrives in new condition. Works well in my soap products.

I've used this for soap making and it works exactly as intended. It has a child-resistant lid to help keep it safe.If you plan on getting this for soap, I'd definitely recommend--just make sure you put in 100% in the soap calculator you're using!

I used this to make cold process soaps and they comes out perfect every time. Only issue is the cap gets stuck and I ripped the skin off my finger trying to get it open, which is great for overall safety but poor on easy to use. The beads do get a little "staticky" but not much to where it'll jump out at you. It is on the expensive side for only 2 pounds but the consistency in product outcome made me repurchase. I've only used it for soap making so I can't say what else it can be used for.

This is the best lie I've ever gotten. It works best for cold-process soap; it doesn't smell bad. The bottle is very safe around children, but the child-resistant lid is a safety feature. The soap turned out beautifully and makes my skin so soft. The seal was perfect upon arrival. It's easy to use.

I used this in a pot with water to clean greasy caked up car parts. Works very good, just don't use it on aluminum parts. If using cold water give it a day or two to soak. Hot water works faster.
