"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. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • lower odor, IMO • 2 lb container

"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!

"Excellent!" COMMENTS:  I have tried lye from other suppliers, but WSP has always been consistent and the best! The lye dissolves easily and I never have any problems. I also like that the containers are thick and extra child safe (sometimes i struggle to open it too haha - very safe indeed!). The only problem is sometimes the lye is stuck together in a huge clump, so it's a bit hard to get it out of the container, but besides that this is my go-to lye!

"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.

The flakes are so much easier to use and they produce a top quality bar of soap.

"Excellent product" COMMENTS:  My preferred supplier and product for this necessary ingredient for cold process soap. I've always had great and consistent results and gotten beautiful soap. I like that I don't have static beads flying around everywhere and not much white residue in the water phase as I've had with other products. Do have to be careful about the dust though, especially toward the end of the bottle. I make sure there is plenty of air circulation and wear a mask, gloves & goggles.

"Okay, but not my favorite" 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.

"Only WSP Sodium Hydroxide Flakes For My CP Soap" COMMENTS:  I try very hard to create and produce excellent artisan cold process soaps, so I am particular about the raw materials used to make them. I use only WSP sodium hydroxide flakes. The product dissolves readily and completely. This is important to me. I don't experience a lot of flying dust off the product, but regardless, I take all safety precautions when working with this. Another thing I really like is the packaging of this product. The container's locking cap works well to keep this hazardous material contained.

"Poor packaging" COMMENTS:  I hate leaving bad reviews, but I get 1-2 good 3lb batches out of one of these containers then the rest of the batches flop. I asked a question about suggested storage and WSP assured me the containers are airtight. No matter how tight I seal it, the majority of the lye fails after I open the container. Unfortunately, I have 4 containers left so I am going to find airtight containers for it once I open. I will most likely be sourcing my lye elsewhere from now on as I cannot afford to waste supplies. I think the lye is fine, just maybe place the lye in a different airtight container after opening. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Packaging

"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. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Hot Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Dissolves easily with minimal fumes. • Needs better shipping packaging! • Should be sealed in its own bag.

"Easy to work with " 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.

"It is very high quality and easy to handle " COMMENTS:  Before purchasing this from WSP I had only used lye beads and the difference between the lye beads and flakes is astounding. It makes clean up of any minor spills way easier since they don't roll. I also noticed that the bars of soap I made with this lye are much harder. I assume this is because of it's purity. I am also a big fan of the child safe container while I store my lye away from children it is still a nice pre-caution.

"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!

"High quality lye flakes" COMMENTS:  I just created my account for WSP and I purchased this product before I created my account. I bought this lye to use in my cp soap because I had talked to a friend of mine who also makes cold process soap said that these were so much better than the beads so I decided to give it a try. These are definitely high quality flakes at a great price. They are easier to use and mix than the beads. They are packaged excellently. They dissolve quickly and they work perfectly everytime. Best of all there no static what so ever and I will surely be buying this product again and again. Thank you WSP! YOU ROCK!

"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!

"Nice " COMMENTS:  I wasn't sure about using a flaked lye had always use a granular but I'm very happy with this product it dissolves really easy. It's heavier than I thought it would be, so it didn't go airborne I'll continue using it Thanks WSP another great product.

"Better than prills and beads" COMMENTS:  This sodium hydroxide is great. The flakes make it easy to weight and it does not show static. The 2lb container with the safety cap is perfect and it seems to form an airtight seal. Many other suppliers do not offer that. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process, Soap - Hot Process

"Works Perfectly" COMMENTS:  It works exactly as its supposed to. I prefer smaller flakes, and these flakes are a bit bigger than what I like. However, that is just my preference and doesn't take away from how this particular one works! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process, Soap - Hot Process

"I never thought there was a difference in lye!" 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. My soaps come out so much better with this brand. I have been making soap for years and I would tell anyone just starting out to get this one if you want the best! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - CPOP, Soap - Hot Process THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • The flake form • Not a thing
