How to get lye

No Lye = No Soap

(Note: Upated list of lye vendors below)

Well, it's been several months now, and a number of online and local vendors have taken up the slack to make up for Red Devil Lye being pulled from the supermarkets.

It seems, for the time being, that while a major pain, us soap makers will get by.

Here are stores, sites and solutions that many soap makers have come up with:

* Get together with other soap makers in your area and "go in" on buying a bag of lye, carefully splitting it between you. Lots of soap makers buy their lye in bulk. Most large cities have a solvent or chemical company that will sell lye (Sodium Hydroxide) in 35 or 50 lb. bags. You'll pay a fraction (per pound) of what the Red Devil cost, but, you've got to be able to safely store that much lye. Remember the cautions you go through with a 12 oz.

* Buy a whole bag yourself, knowing that it needs to be stored in an airtight container, safely away from children, pets or other unknowing people.

* Check your local hardware store - Several people have written me claiming to have found Crystal Drain Opener at their local Home Depot or Wal-Mart. The label states 100% sodium hydroxide! BUT, it's best to check the manufacturers site and check the MSDS sheets for the product. I had one user write me and say that while the label said 100% lye, the MSDS sheet said otherwise.

* Buy lye from one of the following online mail order vendors:
o Bitter Creek Candle Co.-buy only 2 lbs!
o Texas Natural Supply o Lehman's Soapmaking Supplies
o The Boyer Corporation o Snowdrift Farm
o The Soap Dish
o Summer Bee Meadow
o ChemistryStore.comIf you know of another vendor that sells 100% lye, or know of a good mail order vendor, please post it in the Candle and Soap Making Forum

How to locate recommended soap suppliers.

One of my subscribers asked for recommended soap suppliers.

Here are my recommended resources:

This soap base supplier comes highly recommended:

http://www.chemistrystore.com/glycerin_soap.htm

You will also need soap fragrances:

http://www.brambleberry.com/fragrance.html

And as for moulds, there's a great verity over at:

http://www.brambleberry.com/molds.html

It's also highly recommended that you check out ebay to find some moulds, and maybe some other cheap suppliers for materials. Just go to ebay and search for "soap moulds" and "soap supply", "oil fragrances" etc. You never know what you'll come across...

Remember that once you find that great supplier - you can order again and again.

Olive Oil for Soap

Here's an ebay auction for olive oil designated for soap making:  

...This auction is for 1 full gallon of Imported Pomace Olive Oil. As a fellow soapmaker, I know how frustrating it can be to find needed ingredients at a fair price. I make my living by selling soap and other products from a brick-and-mortar business, so I order supplies in bulk - and I'm happy to pass along the savings. The supplies I offer here are the same ingredients I use in making the products I sell in my shop. You can be assured they are all top quality. Why buy from a company who doesn't make soap, or an occasional soaper who is difficult to contact, when you can buy from a full-time soapmaker with a brick and mortar business?
