Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) - 1kg

Potassium Hydroxide is an essential ingredient in liquid soapmaking. When potassium hydroxide is mixed with a liquid (water, milk etc) a lye solution is formed.

This solution, when mixed with fats and oils, will cause a chemical reaction called saponification. The result of saponification is beautiful handmade liquid soap.

Lye is a caustic substance that must be handled with great care. Give it the respect it deserves.

Special Note: Always add the lye to the water and NOT the water to the lye. An unpleasant, violent reaction occurs if you do.

This product is also known as Potash or Lye.
