Sodium Hydroxide!!??

The Truth of Sodium Hydroxide
At The Roxy Soap, we believe in full disclosure and long run business with every customer, you have the rights to know about how our soap are made.

To make soap, you need 3 main ingredient:

Oil (animal or vegetable oil)

Water

Sodium Hydroxide (we call this caustic agent)

Picture shown: Sodium Hydroxide Flakes/ Caustic Soda/ Caustic Alkali or a commen name Lye.

When a caustic is added to a fat, it creates heat, glycerin and soap in a process known as “saponification.”

Traditionally, the caustic used to make soap came from wood ashes (potassium carbonate) until the late 1700s when sodium hydroxide became the favored caustic of the soap-maker. Sodium hydroxide is commonly referred as ‘lye.’ An alternate caustic is potassium hydroxide (potash lye) – but potassium hydroxide doesn’t create a “hard” soap initially and the process is longer and more complicated. Potassium hydroxide is what castile soap is made with.(See What is are different between Commercial Soap and Handmade Soap? )

All caustics by themselves can irritate and burn the skin, causing allergic reactions and other nasty results. But during the saponification process, the caustic reacts with the beautiful organic vegetable oils, and after curing, is no longer harmful to the skin. A lot of soap manufacturers get around listing the caustic – sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide - on their labels by either saying “saponified oils of olive, coconut…” or even “sodium olivate or sodium cocoate”. This doesn’t mean that they aren’t using a caustic, like lye, they are just glossing over the fact.

Consider this analogy, if you were a baker you would add yeast to water, flour and sugar to make bread. During the baking process, the yeast is converted into “fermentable sugars” and is not found in the finished product. However, every good loaf of bread has yeast on their ingredient list, not fermentable sugars. Why should an ingredient list on a bar of soap be any different?

Which brings us to the next question, why don’t soap manufacturers list “sodium hydroxide” or “potassium hydroxide” on their labels? Who villafied lye? Sadly, that answer is Grandma – who made her own soap & didn’t have the sophisticated measuring devices most hand-crafted soap makers use to ensure they are adding just the right amount of lye! And, oh boy, did Grandma’s soap burn!

Simply put, unless you have a synthetic detergent bar soap, it was made with lye. A soap maker can get fancy and ‘superfat’ their bar soap, meaning they put extra oils in to make sure all the caustic is used up, yielding a safer, more moisturizing bar soap. We use vegetable oil and herbs adding value to our soap.

Why The Roxy Handmade Soap Good For Your Skin?

We leave all the moisturizing natural goodness of a soap- glycerin in, some soap maker precipitate the glycerin out and sell it on the industrial market like cosmetic maker. You can easily find supplier selling at USD1000/T to USD2000/T at Alibaba website. We can extract the glycerin out and make extra money from it, but we leave it in our soap. This is where our soap value is.


Seriously, This Is A Long Term Business.

We believe in full disclosure and long run business with every customer and dealer – you have the right to know what is in the products you use - and what is in the product you are selling! So you won’t find us lying about lye.We hope our customer using our product doubt free and dealer selling it more professional way.

We hope our product are at the best quality and that bring high profit for our dealer. And also a long term relationship with all our dealer who walk the path and grow with us.

History About Soap

Soap in Ancient Times

     Myth has it that in 1,000 B.C. soap was discovered on Sappo Hill in Rome by a group of women rinsing their clothes in the river at the base of a hill, below a higher elevation where animal sacrifice had taken place.  They noticed the clothes coming clean as they came in contact with the soapy clay oozing down the hill and into the water. They later discovered that this same cleansing substance was formed when animal fat was soaked down through the wood ashes and into the clay soil.

     Factually, we know that soap has been around for about 2,800 years.  The earliest known evidence of soap use are Babylonian clay cylinders dating from 2800 BC containing a soap-like substance. A formula for soap consisting of water, alkali and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC.

     The Ebers papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) indicates that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly and combined animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to create a soap-like substance. Egyptian documents mention that a soap-like substance was used in the preparation of wool for weaving.

     According to Pliny the Elder, the Phoenicians prepared it from goat's tallow and wood ashes in 600 BC and sometimes used it as an article of barter with the Gauls.   The word "soap" appears first in a European language in Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis, which discusses the manufacture of soap from tallow and ashes, but the only use he mentions for it is as a pomade for hair; he mentions rather disapprovingly that among the Gauls and Germans, men are likelier to use it than women

     Soap was widely known in the Roman Empire; whether the Romans learned its use and manufacture from ancient Mediterranean peoples or from the Celts, inhabitants of Britannia, is not known.  Early Romans made soaps in the first century A.D. from urine to make a soaplike substance.  The urine contained ammonium carbonate which reacted with the oils and fat in wool for a partial saponification.  People called fullones walked the city streets collecting urine to sell to the soapmakers.

     The Celts, who produced their soap from animal fats and plant ashes, named the product saipo, from which the word soap is derived. The importance of soap for washing and cleaning was apparently not recognized until the 2nd century A.D. ; the Greek physician Galen mentions it as a medicament and as a means of cleansing the body. Previously soap had been used as medicine.

    The writings attributed to the 8th-century Arab savant Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) repeatedly mention soap as a cleansing agent. The Arabs made the soap from vegetable oil as olive oil or some aromatic oils such as thyme oil. Sodium Lye (Al-Soda Al-Kawia) NaOH was used for the first time and the formula hasn't changed from the current soap sold in the market. From the beginning of the 7th century soap was produced in Nablus (Palestine), Kufa (Iraq) and Basra (Iraq). Arabian Soap was perfumed and colored, some of the soaps were liquid and others were hard. They also had special soap for shaving. It was commercially sold for 3 Dirhams (0.3 Dinars) a piece in 981 AD.

Soap in the Middle Ages

    Historically, soap was made by mixing animal fats with lye. Because of the caustic lye, this was a dangerous procedure (perhaps more dangerous than any present-day home activities) which could result in serious chemical burns or even blindness. Before commercially-produced lye was commonplace, it was produced at home for soap making from the ashes of a wood fire.

     In Europe, soap production in the Middle Ages centered first at Marseilles, later at Genoa, then at Venice. Although some soap manufacture developed in Germany, the substance was so little used in central Europe that a box of soap presented to the Duchess of Juelich in 1549 caused a sensation. As late as 1672, when a German, A. Leo, sent Lady von Schleinitz a parcel containing soap from Italy, he accompanied it with a detailed description of how to use the mysterious product.

     Castile soap, made entirely from olive oil, was produced in the Kingdom of Castile in Europe as early as the 16th century (about 1616).   Fine sifted alkaline ash of the Salsola species of thistle, called barilla, was boiled with locally available olive oil, instead of tallow. By adding salty brine to the boiled liquor, the soap was made to float to the surface, where it could be skimmed off by the soap-boiler, leaving the excess lye and impurities to settle out.  This produced what was probably the first white hard soap, which hardened further as it was aged, without losing its whiteness, forming jabon de Castila, which eventually became the generic name.
