"How does sodium hydroxide work in soap?

During the soap making process, the lye is heavily diluted with water and added to the oils to create a thick mixture. The mixture is then added to a mold for 24 hours to harden, and set to cure for 4-6 weeks. During the curing process, the soap bars lose water weight, in which the sodium hydroxide is dissolved. Therefore lye is needed for the chemical process that soap goes through, but it's not present in the final product."

"While sodium hydroxide is used in the creation of soap, it is not present in the final product, as it undergoes a chemical reaction with fats and oils, called saponification, to form soap and glycerin. Therefore, while lye is necessary for soap production, it is not a component of the finished soap product.
