** Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) – Understanding Its Role in Soap Making. Sodium hydroxide, or lye, is a key ingredient in traditional soap-making, where it plays an essential role in transforming natural oils into soap. It is derived from a simple and natural process—extracting alkali from saltwater through electrolysis.Though lye is needed to start the saponification process, none remains in the final soap. As the oils and lye combine, they undergo a complete transformation, creating pure, gentle soap along with naturally occurring glycerin. After curing, what’s left is a nourishing, skin-friendly bar with no trace of sodium hydroxide—just the goodness of carefully chosen natural ingredients.
