See Reviews | Review this Product. Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) - for Soap Making. Sodium Hydroxide, or Lye, is the chemical that induces saponification with fats and oils to create that magnificent thing called soap! This lye is in flake form and is easier to measure without worrying about static cling.
Divide the amount of lye by 0.3 and then subtract the amount of lye from the result. For example, to make just over 2 pounds of olive oil soap, measure 32 ounces of olive oil and 4.33 ounces of lye because 32 ounces of olive oil  0.1353, which is the saponification value for olive oil, = 4.33 ounces of lye.
