About Us

At Real Lye Co., we’re passionate about redefining soap-making. Our products are handcrafted with naturally derived lye and organic ingredients, using age-old methods that respect both tradition and the environment. Unlike industrial lye, our process utilizes wood ash from renewable sources and avoids synthetic chemicals entirely.

We believe in transparency and sustainability. That’s why we source our ingredients responsibly and package our soaps in eco-friendly containers, minimizing waste and encouraging reuse. Whether it’s our potassium hydroxide-based liquid soap or our sodium hydroxide bar soap, every product we make reflects our commitment to purity and quality.

Our Story

Real Lye Co. was born from a simple idea: to make soap the way nature intended. What started as a small experiment has grown into a mission to create truly natural products that nourish the skin and the planet. From collecting banana peels and wood ash to developing unique saponification techniques, we’ve embraced innovation while staying true to our roots.

Our Promise

We’re more than a soap company — we’re part of a movement toward sustainable living. Every bar of soap and every bottle of liquid cleanser we produce is crafted with care, using methods that consume far less energy than conventional practices. Our products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from harmful residues.
