The answer is yes, the soap is still natural.
Soap making requires sodium hydroxide, which is more commonly known as caustic soda or lye. That means every soap found in the market have been made using lye. As long as the other ingredients are natural, the soap will stay natural during the soap making process because lye is not present in the final product.
Most companies, unlike Urban Tones and our partners, leave out the use of lye in their ingredients list because of misinformation and fear among consumers. While lye is dangerous to handle in its chemical form, the substance is not considered as an active ingredient in soaps. Lye is neutralized in the process of saponification, the conversion of fat or oil into soap when combined together.
We at Urban Tones and our partners decided to include sodium hydroxide in our ingredients list because you deserve to know how your soap was made. We belief that helping you understand this substance is our responsibility so you can feel safe and be confident with your purchase decision.
