Review: This took a couple of weeks to come in, but it was worth the wait. - My wife makes all different types of soap and Lye aka sodium hydroxide is a basic, necessary ingredient. We used to get our lye from a couple of different big box stores, but this merchant offers the product at a very reasonable price and it's 100% pure lye crystals. Buying lye in larger quantities makes it much more affordable over time and we're very happy with this product. ## Features - Other Names: Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH - Caustic Soda - Lye - substitute for Red Devil Lye - Made in the U.S.A. - Food Grade - lower impurities - No nutritional value. - Shipped as 9 x 1 lb. containers in one box - each container is HDPE - each container is sealed with a resealable child proof cap - each container is properly labeled - Ingredients: Electrolysis of Chlorine and a brine. - Certificate of Analysis available for every lot/batch upon request, Batch Specific COA available (Sample COA- CLICK HERE). - 98% and 99.9% minimum purity (96% minimum standard) - Evenly-Sized Micro Pels (beads or particles): Specifically manufactured into evenly-sized micro pels.

It dispenses easily from the container, avoiding unwanted spillage and does a great job saponifying my oils for soap. ## Frequently Bought Together - 9 lbs Food Grade Sodium Hydroxide Lye Evenly-Sized Micro Pels (Beads or Particles) - 9 x 1 lb Bottles - Lye Drain Cleaner - Majestic Pure Lavender Essential Oil with Glass Dropper | 100% Pure and Natural Lavender Oil | Premium Grade Essential Oils for Diffusers, Skin, Aromatherapy, Massage | 4 Fl Oz - 100% Pure Castor Oil - Cold-pressed, Unrefined, Hexane-free - Premium Quality - USP Grade (1 Gallon) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/432276579-9-lbs-food-grade-sodium-hydroxide-lye-evenly-sized-micro](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/432276579-9-lbs-food-grade-sodium-hydroxide-lye-evenly-sized-micro) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
