"great stuff at a reasonable price" |
|
COMMENTS: I have used a few different brands & formats of lye (beads vs. flakes) but stopped buying the others when I found this one! Great product at a reasonable price. I am still a beginner but starting to sell more and receiving requests. Always shipped appropriately and in a reasonable amount of time. I like that I can have other things with the order & not just this product. Thanks for your great customer service!

" Sodium Hydroxide Flakes" |
|
COMMENTS: I love the flakes! They do not have static that sticks to the cup that I use to pour it in. It does have "some" dust when poured so don't get too close when pouring.
I would say that it performs well in my soaps and is priced reasonably.
Will continue to purchase.

"Lye Dust - but did the job" |

COMMENTS: This lye did the job in my soap and worked just fine. After trying the flakes, I'm back to using the beads. I didn't care for the amount of lye 'dust' that occurs with the flakes and they do not dissolve as easily as the beads.

"Best lye I've EVER used" |
|
COMMENTS: I've ordered lye from several other vendors and it was a powder that always clumped and sometimes got static electricity that made it airborne all over my kitchen and me. This Lye is in flakes that are awesome... so sooo easy to handle.
Oh, btw, it also worked GREAT on a clogged drain??.

"Love the lack of static; takes a while to dissolve" |
|
COMMENTS: This is great to not have to worry about static with the beads (just use a dryer sheet the first time you open those) but it takes a good 15-30 minutes for all the flakes to dissolve when using 100% ice. Maybe it doesnt take as long with room temp water. Other than that, I really love these flakes. They are also the least expensive supplier I have found out there for smaller quantities.

"High Quality Sodium Hydroxide" |
|
COMMENTS: This made my soap making so much easier. It dissolves easily in water, both frozen and liquid, and doesn’t clump. I’ve never had lye pockets using this lye. The only thing I would be careful of is making sure to wear a mask over your mouth and nose, especially when getting to the bottom of a container. I wasn’t wearing a mask when I got to the bottom of my first bottle, and the dust got kicked up into the air, right into my face. Other than that, I have no complaints, it gets the job done!

"Lye flake disaster" |
|
COMMENTS: I made several batches of our CP soap with this product and ended up with undissolved lye issues in every batch. I prefer granule lye over flakes and definitely learned the hard way on this one. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I find the flake to be harder to handle/measure. If your a new soap maker, watch carefully to make sure it has completely dissolved, I make goat milk soap and soap with lye/milk mixture at 80-100°.

COMMENTS: I've been making soap for some years and these flakes (yes, in the flake form) are the BEST I've ever used! I get a cleaner dissolve, never any lye lint, and my soap feel different when unmoolding and using. Might sound silly.. but I've done my testing.. and comparisons.. and these are best I've found! NO STATIC, either! I mean.. WIN WIN WIN!

"Works perfect." |
|
COMMENTS: I've never ordered flakes before, but I thought I would give them a try.
Price is really good per ounce (which is why I decided to try it), a bit "powdery" but works very well. By "powdery" I mean that when pouring into my measuring container, there is some "smokey" fumes that come off them that I never experienced with the bead type. Not an issue if you wear a mask like I do. Performs perfectly and I will definitely order again.

"Very easy to use - no static!" |
|
COMMENTS: I really like this lye. The product I used before was in a bead form that tended to hang up on the container due to static. The flakes don't do that at all. I was concerned that the flakes might be slow to dissolve, but I did not experience any problem with that at all. There is no difference at all in my hot process soaps or shampoo bars from those made with the lye beads, so I am a happy convert! The container is easy enough to open, considering that it needs to be child-safe and moisture proof.

COMMENTS: These flakes are the way to go. They dissolve better than the granules--I strain my lye solution when I pour it into the soap batter and I noticed the flakes leave behind fewer clumps. They're also easier to work with because they're not full of static electricity like the granules.

I had a terrible batch of beads that flew everywhere and it was very dangerous, it turned me off the beads permanently, I'm so glad I can find the flakes they work great for me. Several batches of soap and not a single issue so far.

"Best I've used!" |
|
COMMENTS: I really like this Sodium Hydroxide. I've tried two different brands, both flakes and granules, and this brand does not have the stronger fumes. It dissolves easily and is a 50-50 shot with lint. When there is lint it is very little. I also like that it comes in 2 lb containers. This will be my lye from now on.

"Great price, wish it was granulated" |
|
COMMENTS: I love the idea of flake lye because you don't get the tiny granules bouncing everywhere and sticking to things, but...I've found it just doesn't dissolve well into frozen goat milk. I end up with large flakes in the bottom of my lye pot that just won't dissolve. I am sure it's just the cooler temperature that is required to dissolve lye into milk, but sadly can't use this. Now if you all sold sodium hydroxide in granulated as well, you'd have a steady order from me!

"If you Soap with goats milk, use this!" |
|
COMMENTS: This works so much better than the small powder or beads when you are soaping with real goats milk and trying not to burn it because these flakes take longer to dissolve. I do freeze my milk first, but the powdered lye still acts too fast and I always have to use ice baths, but not with these flakes, it’s a game changer for sure.

"This Product Is My Go-To For Cold Process" |
|
COMMENTS: I'm always so grateful when I can find SH flakes instead of the beads. The flakes are so much easier to use and they produce a top quality bar of soap. I've been teaching my 14-year-old how to make CP soap, and I feel so much better about her using this product instead of the beads, because the beads go everywhere if you don't have a steady hand.

|
COMMENTS: Flakes leave a film when combined with both distilled and spring water, they also produce more odor than lye crystals. They dissolve okay, but I only add a small amount at a time. Still produced good CP soap, I did have more incidents of soda ash with this lye, with both new and previously used recipes.

"Works well." |
|
COMMENTS: I used to buy lye grains, like even sized pebbles of sand, I saw this stuff & that it claimed not to have static flywaways like the grains do. I thought I'd give it a try. Static did get reduced to almost none, but the only thing I noticed was that the grains used to mix into the water & my lye/water bucket would look empty & clean when all was done & poured out. However, the flakes & water, once I pour it out, later on their is a waxy like white coating or residue on the bucket walls.. I don't know if that is inert ingredients? Perhaps this lye is less pure than the grains I used to buy? Doesn't seem to effect my soap though, my finished soap works good.

"Poor Shipping Packaging" |
|
COMMENTS: I make hot process soap. This NaOh dissolves easily in water with minimal fumes or boiling/splatter. Using water at 38% in my recipe, I have not been able to get fluid soap. When I used another brand of NaOh with the same recipe it was almost too fluid, so the brand of NaOh does make a difference.
The way this was packaged wasn't good. I got 2lb and the entire 32oz container was placed in a ziplock bag that was too small to be closed. There were white flakes in the bag and on the outside of the jar and very likely on the other items I ordered that all came in the same box. As soon as I opened the box and saw this I put on gloves and all my lye gear and doused everything in vinegar and cleaned each item. I wish I could submit an image with my review to show how the loose NaOh ate away the ink on the outside of the bottle. I've since ordered NaOH from other places and the packaging was night and day compared to this. Very unsafe.

COMMENTS: I have always used the beads and never flakes. I was very scared to try them. The place I bought lye beads from kept increasing theyir shipping and prices. So I gave the flakes a try. I won’t lie, my first try was a fail. Because I had always measured the lye in cup measurements,( I know, shame shame). I finally started measuring in ounces after All these years. And guess what? Yup, I like making soap with the flakes much better. I don’t have to worry about the static with the beads anymore. ??

"Chunky" |
|
COMMENTS: Great price, this totally affects my bottom line, so thanks for making this affordable in a reasonable amount. Just a heads up, some of these "flakes" are more like rocks, so just be sure you're ready for that, could be an issue if you're trying to measure really small batches. I think I was also surprised that there is no protective seal when you open the 2lb canister, it's just a plastic tub with a squeeze top cap. I can see how this might be helping keep the price low and I like not having to worry about lye coated trash, but I worry about moisture getting in over time. Also, I had a lot of issues with shipping so it basically took a month to get to me...I'm guessing that wouldn't happen again, but it's added a lot of pressure for my holiday schedule.

"Worked Perfectly!" |
|
COMMENTS: So first-time soapmaker here! My first batch of soap was made with no colors or fragrance just to test the process, and it came out perfectly! The packaging is nice for the 2lb container because I have younger people in my house and they aren't able to open it. I do wish for a way to get the sodium hydroxide out of the container without making too much dust. I do this outside so as to not contaminate my house, but sometimes the wind changes directions and I end up getting a face full of dust. I do have safety equipment, but it is still a hassle to stop, wash my face, and hands and then continue measuring. In terms of performance in soap though, as I said, I have no complaints.

"Great price, easy to use!" |
|
COMMENTS: This is my first time ever purchasing and using lye. It's packaged in a long (bottled) container and is easy to pour. However, I had a few big chunks of flakes that would've plopped out of the bottle while pouring but I caught it just in time. Just be mindful when pouring to avoid big chunks. I haven't had any issues with mixing, it dissolves well, so I will definitely order again.

"Great product" |
|
COMMENTS: This is pretty near perfect. I like that the flakes are not staticky like the beads of lye. However, some of those flakes are enormous. Those suckers take an insane amount of time to dissolve. Packaging is wonderful. I appreciate the smaller jars rather than it being packaged in a larger container. Seems safer? and fresher? if that makes sense.

"Safe container and great quality" |
|
COMMENTS: This 2 lb bottle of flakes is my favourite! The container is safe to store and hard to open accidentally. I also really like the container design because when you are opening it, it’s easy to keep the container upright and to not spill. The flakes themselves are also a great quality and I have made a few batches of quality cold process soap with these!

"Love the lye flakes!" |
|
COMMENTS: I was using lye that was very fine, like tiny beads, when I cam across these lye flakes. The other lye was hard to see if some went on the scale or counter. These are easy to see and easy to work with. I also like the secure packaging. I have small children at home, so having my lye in a secure container is essential. You must squeeze the lid in order to remove the cap. I have had no problems with the quantity of the lye, it consistantly produces high quality soaps. I will only buy this lye!

|
COMMENTS: These sodium hydroxide flakes work great! I have no issues dissolving the proper amount in my soap recipe. Sometimes there are a few particles of a white powder (don't remember what it is called) that don't dissolve, but they're not harmful as long as you've mixed well. You can easily strain these particles out as well. Overall very pleased!

|
COMMENTS: These are great because they have no static, but they are really big pieces which comes with its own set of problems. Strangest thing I noticed was I made goat milk soap with these and it took a really long time to melt the goat's milk. I don't think they made as much contact with the frozen milk and it took a good 5-7 minutes to get it to thaw.

"Excellent product, recommended Buy" |
|
COMMENTS: I really like this product due to the fact that it is in a flake form and not A fine grain, I find the find green tends to powder and it floats in the air. With the flakes you're avoiding such things as dust floating up to your nose. I use this to make my hot process soap, cold process soap, melt and pour soap, cold process oven process soap and have had success each time and very happy with the results. I highly recommend this purchase not only is the packaging safety locking cap that's childproof the item came shipped very well capped on the bottom and top and wrap with tape and the convenience of it being in a flake form is priceless, speaking of prices, the price for this item is extremely reasonable! Great buy, great product, great price!

"Sodium Hydroxide Flakes" |
|
COMMENTS: I had purchased some other SH, before I found WWPS, I have been so happy with all the products. The SH that I purchased from another company left a film on the top of my water, just didn't like that. This one does not leave any films. Works great!

"Great Product " |
|
COMMENTS: This was my first time trying the lye from this site. I'm overall satisfied with the quality
It did exactly what I needed it to do. It dissolved clear with a few swirls of the spoon. There was no lye lint. I enjoy the fact I didn't have to strain out any impurities or have the worry of did all my lye make it into my oils. The big flakes make it so much easier to measure out. There isn't that static dust I've experienced using the beads. Plus the size and shape of the container made it just that much more easier to work with.

|
COMMENTS: First time I bought the flakes. I wasn’t happy with the beads having static . That problem is solved with the flakes. However, I found that the fine dusting of the flakes, caused early fumes for me, I had to be as careful while measuring as when mixing it.

"Very happy I switched." |
|
COMMENTS: I previously bought from another soap supplies company for years. After the last few bottles arrived with large clumps (micro bead type) and several soap batches failing, I gave this a try. Honestly I'm extremely happy I switched. I find it's much easier to measure and handle the larger flake form, especially with our naturally humid weather conditions. Quality is great and haven't had any batches fail.

"Love the product - not the container" |
|
COMMENTS: I have problems with hand strength and found it impossible to open the container as instructed...I do not have enough grip strength to squeeze the top to get the lid to turn. Ended up using a couple of kitchen tools to bend the lid wider so that I could turn it off. Loved how the lye dissolved however it felt rather dangerous having to pry the lid open. I am undecided if I will order this product again. Great price but it's container makes it a safety hazard for me.

"Great stuff!" |
|
COMMENTS: As someone who has only used lye beads my entire soaping life, I went into this purchase a little sceptical, but I've been converted! These flakes are AWESOME!!! No powdery residue, no static (and my biggest struggle living in FL), NO STICKING!!! It's so humid here that the beads always pulled the moisture from the air faster than I could get it weighed out & added to my liquid, but I had ZERO problems with that with the flakes! I found these flakes to be easier & faster to dissolve in my liquid as well! Yes, there IS a difference & after using beads for years, these flakes put them to shame! I have 2lbs of the bead-type lye left over from a previous purchase, but after using the flakes, I don't want to go back! I really thought I wasn't going to like this type of lye, to be completely truthful, but the price was great, so I decided I'd give it a try. I can honestly say I don't think I'll ever go back to using beads again! This lye is just all around easier in every aspect! So glad I decided to give it a shot!

COMMENTS: But there is! I had been buying another brand for two years and ordered this one when it was on sale, glad I did! These are in flake form so no powder flying around.

COMMENTS: It dissolved very fast. I’ve heard of different types of lye not dissolving and getting clumpy, but these flakes were impressive, it took no time at all. The container is very hard to open though, which is understandable considering the contents. I am just not the strongest and needed to break the lid.

"Best Lye Ever" |
|
COMMENTS: This was my first time using flakes. I thought they would be powdery, but they're not! The "flakes" are more like little crystal chunks, and are super easy to handle. They come out of the container very easy. I was stoked. Additionally, there was not powder or mess in doing so. They take a few extra seconds of stirring to fully dissolve, but that's neither here nor there. A HUGE difference for me was the fumes were next to none when put in water. In the past, I used a lye powder and the fumes were intolerable, even with proper ventilation and space. Plus, 2lbs for the price, can't be beat by anywhere else. Excellent product. Very happy.

"Top is much to hard to open" |
|
COMMENTS: I've been using lye from various companies for over 10 years. I recently purchased these flakes type of lye. For the life of me I cannot get the containers to open. Having never had this problem before this purchase I'm hard pressed to understand why the tops are so tight I cannot squeeze the top twisted enough to get it past past the little stopper things. Disappointed.

COMMENTS: Usually I use sodium hydroxide from the hardware store, but I thought I'd try your brand based on reviews and I'm so glad I did! The packaging and delivery were excellent, it desolved much better in both distilled water and goat's milk, and I didn't have little crystals bouncing all over the place as I was measuring. It is very convenient and easy as pie to use. I don't plan on using any other brand from now on.

"Crafters Choice™ Sodium Hydroxide Flakes" |
|
COMMENTS: I love these flakes...no jumping or sticking lye crystals, smoother pouring/measuring and very little "dust" and they dissolve beautifully. I love the cylinder bottle they come in very sturdy and easier for me to grasp.

"Love this lye!" |
|
COMMENTS: This is my favorite lye for making soap. Previously I'd used a beaded lye from another supplier. That was prone to issues with static electricity making the beads fly all over. No such issue with the flakes. With a little stirring they dissolve nicely into the water.

COMMENTS: I like the idea that it is food grade, mostly I use it for CP but on the very rare occasion that I make pretzels, I could use it to make a weak dipping solution before baking to get that rich, golden brown color. But most of all, love, love that fact that it comes in large flakes that are not static-y (is there such a word?) which makes measuring much easier. Good stuff!

COMMENTS: I've only ever used beads before and I'm brand new to Cold Process Soap, but I love these flakes so much better! They dissolve quickly and completely if stirred.

I always plan ahead and measure out my ingredients ahead of time so I am never in a bind.......Honey, help me with my Lye Bottle!!!! lol.

"Crafters Choice™ Sodium Hydroxide Flakes " |
|
COMMENTS: This is top quality lye. It dissolved quickly and very well for me. I love using the flakes more than the beads because thy don't roll all over the counter if spilled. The only complaint that I have is the lid. I'm petite and have small hands and could barely get the lid off. I couldn't squeeze the sides together hard enough to get the lid off, so I had to use two butter knives to pull open the knobs while I twisted the lid. It was really frustrating. I thought I was going to have to find a neighbor who is a man and ask for help. Thankfully, the butter knives worked! Another problem I have is also with the lid. I can't put it all the way back on now or I'll have the same problem getting it off. I have the lid on loosely and I'm keeping it in the plastic bag it came in to keep it contained.

"Love the flakes vs beads" |
|
COMMENTS: Good quality sodium hydroxide in easy to handle containers... not much else to say about it along those lines. Where this product really shines is that it is in flakes (similar to Potassium Hydroxide) instead of the usual tiny beads. The flakes are much easier to pour without leaving tiny beads of lye left on the inside of your measuring container. The heavier flakes are also not as affected by static as the beads are, so there's less potential for dangerous mess. Well worth the slightly higher cost, in my opinion.

"Sodium Hydroxide Flakes" |
|
COMMENTS: Changing to these flakes has been the best change I made for soap making. I was using granules from a local store, but continuously experienced lots of static in the plastic measure container I use. Since changing to these flakes, it is quick and easy to measure and pour the flakes into the liquid. The flakes are easy to pickup and place back into the storage container when I over poured on the scale. Flakes are the best.

"Love this product!" |
|
COMMENTS: Until now, I had always used lye that was more in a bead form and constantly had problems with the little beads "jumping" due to static, even when I rubbed the bottles down with a dryer sheet first.
So I thought I'd try these flakes and I will never be using the beads again! These pour so much more easily, there aren't little microbeads jumping or falling from the rim of the bottle. And then when I added these lye flakes to my distilled water, the lye dissolved almost instantly - no rock hard lump at the bottom of the water, no little floaty things I had to strain out.
Great product!

"Much better than beads" |
|
COMMENTS: This was my first experience with flakes and will not be returning to the bead version. There isn't the "static" you get with beads meaning it is easier to handle and less mess.

"Great Product, Safe Packaging" |
|
COMMENTS: I've used powdered lye, which was okay. I used beaded lye for a while, but hated how static would sometimes build up and beads flew all over the room (NOT SAFE). I'm glad I found this Crafter's Choice lye, because the flakes are exactly what I've been looking for! Easy to pour and measure. Child- and Pet-safe packaging. Dissolves well in liquid, although you do need to stir it for a few seconds. Very pure lye, no funky stuff at the bottom of the container when you mix it with water. Dissolves completely. This is the go-to brand of lye for me now!

"Finally a lye that doesnt frighten me" |

COMMENTS: First time user. I was afraid of lye but continued to research a few years loving the talent of soapers. I came across information about flakes and decided to try and using these flakes and safety measures I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use. The flakes dissolved quickly, I was confident in my weights and I only plan to use this from this point on. I am excited to join the ranks of WSSP soapers thanks to one stop shopping right here

COMMENTS: I could begin by saying the $40 shipping is phenomenal on all orders that are placed above $40 that right there is industry-leading. other places you have to buy over $200 worth to get free shipping. Plus caustic materials usually have hidden costs and fees added to them here it does not. for a small business like myself that is huge. this is quickly becoming my one stop shop for all my crafting needs.

COMMENTS: Good quality. I'm not sold on the flakes though. I've always used beads and these flakes make it somewhat hard to get an exact measurement. They also require you to add the lye very slowly to the water so that all bits are dissolved. The beads I've used would dissolve regardless.

"The Best" |
|
COMMENTS: I will NEVER go back to beads. Ever. (Unless the flakes disappear or go up in a ridiculous price range or they change them to something as hideous as the beads.)
I read a ton of these reviews before purchasing. I did not find any problem with these flakes dissolving. In fact, I found they dissolve just as well if not better than the beads. They do not fly around. There is a sort of dust but I wear a mask and it seems to be a "heavy" dust for lack of the better term at this moment.
You will not regret buying these flakes. Ever.

COMMENTS: I am a beginning soaper and when I was doing my research I saw several reviews for the small beaded type of lye having problems with static causing the lye to fly away. I have had plenty of problems with static where I live so I knew that would not work for me. I was happy to find the large flakes so quickly. I haven't had any problems with runaway lye, and am glad to be working safely. Thanks

COMMENTS: I use a ziploc baggie on a scale to measure out my lye then safely transport it to the area where I mix the lye water. I then seal up the bag and cleanup is a breeze. This stuff is great b/c it leaves very little residue in the bag so I"m sure I'm getting the right amount of lye in my soaps.

"Easier than I thought" |
|
COMMENTS: I bought this never having used lye before. In fact, I stuck with M&P because I didn't want to work with toxic chemicals. Then I got to thinking that if I could control what products went into my soap, I could add soaps to my line as I desired. The flakes are easy to work with, and after making my first batch of CP, I must say that I am just as addicted to CP as I am to MP. Definitely will buy again.

"I'm sold!" |
|
COMMENTS: These lye flakes are substantial enough that they don't get everywhere but flaky enough that they dissolved quickly. I'll be using this from now on.

"Sodium Hydroxide Flakes" |
|
COMMENTS: I'm on the fence about this product as I am not sure if I prefer the flakes over the pellets. There is a substantial price difference, but I don't think that the quality is any better than what I have been using. I'm just not sure, however this product was very easy to use; the large flakes makes for easier measuring. I did find that there was more fumes associated with this product, but I'm not sure why this is.

"Wow just WOW" |
|
COMMENTS: This lye is FANTASTIC. The flakes are large, larger than the brand I used before. I love this because it does NOT clump at all when the humidity or weather changes. It came packaged safely and nicely, the openings on the jars are large enough to pour accurately and not spill all over the place. Lids are tight but I am able to get them off without my blood pressure rising!

"Large flakes, great packaging" |
|
COMMENTS: I recently had tried sodium hydroxide pearls through another vendor. What a disaster! They would fly all over the place when I would try to pour it and I would always have safety concerns. These larger flakes pour directly where you want them and because they are larger there is less lye dust. A great product, easy and safer to use than pearls!

"Love that it is food grade" |
|
COMMENTS: I love everything about this lye. Not only is it food grade but I love the bottle it comes in and also that it comes in flakes. It is easy to pour out of the bottle to weigh. It desolves nicely in my cold processing goat milk soap. I desolve it directly into my goat milk with no problem. You do need to stir well to make sure all flakes are dissolved. My soaps are turning out great.

"Interesting!" |
|
COMMENTS: This was my first time using the flakes over using a powder, It is much easier to weigh out if you overspill, however it does take more stirring to melt in water. I would order again, but I think there was a big price jump on this product.

"Flakes are safer" |
|
COMMENTS: I like using the flakes so much more than the powdered lye for soap making. When it's powdered it's easy to spill and due to the small size of the particles it sticks to everything. But the flakes measure easily and with their bigger size don't go flying when pouring.

COMMENTS: I love that the lid on the bottle is so sturdy. My kids have no chance of opening it. (Yes, I keep it stored in a safe and hard to reach place, but you never know...) The flakes are nice and sturdy as well, helping with measuring. Great product! Also great price!
