Description
Ukayline Sodium Hydroxide Granules is a leading product perfect and fantastic for making soap from scratch. Sodium Hydroxide also known as Lye is a core ingredient of any bar of soap. The simple fact is that soap cannot be made from scratch without Sodium Hydroxide. It is the saponification process- chemical reaction between the sodium hydroxide and the fats/oils that produces the soap. In melt and pour soaps, this process has already been carried out before the soap base reaches you.
If you are looking to make soap from scratch, and for consistently fine and firm soap bars, then Ukayline Sodium Hydroxide is a must and the right choice indeed.
- Highest Purity & Grade for soap making.
- Granular form supplied in safe plastic bag
