How to Make Soap You want to learn how to make soap. But where do you find the ingredients? It seems that it can be tricky to find lye for soapmaking. You cannot use ordinary drain cleaner products as they contain other chemicals that you do NOT want in your soap. You need to use a product that is 100% lye (sodium hydroxide). I have always used Red Devil Lye. It was carried in many grocery stores in my area. Evidently many stores no longer carry lye because some individuals use it in creating illegal drugs. However, it is still possible to get. You can also order lye on-line.
Here are a few resources to check:
gtflabs.com This is where I purchased my 50 pound box of lye
candlesupply.com
texasnaturalsupply.com
lehmans.com
thesoapdish.com
boyercorporation.com
snowdriftfarm.com
aaa-chemicals.com
greenbulldog.com
These links are at least a place to start in learning how to make soap. Remember you need to use Sodium Hydroxide NOT the Potassium Hydroxide for most soap recipes -- they ARE different. If you are afraid of working with lye because you have never done so before you can check out my new soap making DVD for learning how to make soap. I show you how easy soap making can be and I will really take the fear out of working with this unknown chemical. You can locate the video at How to Make Soap
