Meet lye, the notorious character in the soap-making world. It's no secret that lye is a nasty bastard. However, it plays a crucial role in the fascinating process of saponification, where it teams up with water to create the wonderful product we know as soap. Saponification is a chemical reaction that occurs between lye and fats, and it's the key to soap production. Yes, every soap is made with lye – there are no exceptions. Now, you might have come across some soaps that claim to be "chemical-free" or omit mentioning lye in their ingredients list. But here's the truth: After saponification, no lye remains in the soap, rendering it safe for use. Soaps may cleverly list "saponified oils" as ingredients, which essentially means lye was used in the process. Additionally, you might find water and glycerine listed, which are byproducts of lye reacting with fats – another sign that lye was indeed involved. In the end, no need to fret, as there's no harm or foul either way you label it. I, for one, prefer to call things what they are – a spade is a spade, after all!Since no lye remains in the soap there is no harm no foul either way you label it. I just prefer to call a spade a spade.
