Lehman's Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) for Soap Making Want to make bars of soap? You always start with lye (sodium hydroxide). The lye is blended with a fat such as coconut oil or palm oil. (Use coconut oil if lots of lather is desired.) A chemical reaction called saponification occurs, which produces glycerin and soap. As a result (even though ALL soap is made with lye), there is no lye remaining in a properly made bar of soap.
