Isn’t lye in the soap harmful to skin?

Soap is made with oil, water, and lye (made from lime stone and sea water). Lye is highly alkaline but it is the indispensable part of soap itself. The amount of lye in the soap is carefully calculated and formulated to just the right amount so that it won’t hurt our skin. Our natural skin’s pH is slightly acidic, so we need soap which is alkaline to clean our skin.

How do you make soap?

I use Cold Process method. The mixture of oil is heated to about 110 degree F and mixed with Lye water. Soap base is scented with pure essential oils and colored with natural clay and minerals. Put in the wooden mold and left insulated for 24 hours. Soap is cut and cured and dried for at least 4 weeks under the warm shade of Hawaiian Sun before packaging.

What is the soap’s ingredients?

My soap is made with 100% vegetable based ingredients. It is about 40% pure olive oil (great for skin), coconut oil, palm oil (sourced from trusted supplier; sustainable resource, not harmful to the natural environment and wild life), castor oil, Hawaiian Kukui nut oil, natural & organic Jojoba oil, pure essential oils, Organic Hawaiian honey, grapefruit seed extract, and Aloha.
