Make your own natural soaps with this pure, fine powder sodium hydroxide. The essential basis for traditional cold process soap preparation. Without sodium hydroxide, there is no real soap: it saponifies oils and butters into a solid, cleansing and nourishing soap bar.

Our sodium hydroxide is of high purity (approx. 99%) and suitable for cosmetic use. Perfect for both beginner and experienced soap makers!

What is it?

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a white, odorless powder that forms a potent lye solution when in contact with water. This solution reacts with vegetable oils such as coconut oil, olive oil or shea butter and thus forms the basis of your homemade soap.

Please note:

Sodium hydroxide is a corrosive substance and requires caution. Always use protective gloves, safety goggles and work in a well-ventilated area. Always add the sodium hydroxide to water (never the other way around!) to avoid splashing or burning.
