I make soaps myself and you have the option of not using lye either when making soap from scratch or purchasing from a buyer that doesn’t use it. I make pure vegan soaps and they contain only glyercine and olive oil. Some soapers use palm oil as a way to save money, personally I in’ hate it because it doesn’t leave skin feeling as good as if you use olive oil. It’s just a way to save money. ALSO, many soapers use detergent based ingredients as well that dry out skin. Nasty .

Do all soaps have lye? Also why do you have to use lye. Also why do some soapers use palm oils and others don’t? Thanks

Red Devil is still …
Red Devil is still usable for soap making. It is just hard to find. The one that is not safe to use for soapmakign is Draino, it contains metal shavings. You can find lye online in small quantities if you search for red devil lye or just search for sodium hydroxide. I make soap for a living so I buy it in 50 pound pails for $50. But for the regular hobbyist, a 2 pound jar should do for a few batches. You can also find it at Lowes, although it is not called Red Devil, in the plumbing area.

You usually leave the soap in the molds for 24 hours then cut then you set them out in a well vented area to cure, you should make sure there is good air circ around them so all sides can dry.

Was wondering. If you just pushed out the tubes of soap and let alone and cure for the full 5-6 weeks. Could you cut the bars down to size or do you need to cut earlier in the curing process?

Facts? Where are the facts? What other ingredients do you think it has? What do your labels say? The Red Devil in my town says 100%lye on the label. I need more than here-say. WOW! I’ve been making it for years too! Gee, what a coincidence! Surprisingly enough, I seem to still have all my skin intact… :-/

great job.
I get my lye at a local candle/soap supply store. If you live in a fairly large city you should be able to find one.

Lye isn’t really …
Lye isn’t really hard to get. A typical hardware store should have it. The Ace around my house sells a 100% lye and it isn’t red devil brand. It’s called ROOTO, and it is obviously drain cleaner. Make sure the lye is free of any other material. Lye mixed with other substances may or may not create soap, but will have other elements which you don’t want in your soap.

Getting lye is not that hard, you just need to pay the shipping charge for hazardous materials. Brambleberry’s has a website and sells lye for soap making. You can go to several places especially Ebay since lye is used to make bio fuel.

Red Devil lye is …
Red Devil lye is not usuable anymore due to the fact that the manufacture has added inert material to the lye. You cannot separate the material which is shaved metal. This was done to prevent crank labs from using lye.
