Making lye from wood ash has taken me deeper into traditional soap making than I ever expected. Even the chalk left over has a use - I can turn it back into pickling lime for another batch of handmade lye. At Real Lye Co., the work starts long before the oils hit the pot.

I make lye from plant ash, and make soap with it at Real Lye Co. Whenever I boil sunflower shell ash - crystals tend to form. They're insoluble in water. Any idea what it could be? #chemistry #scienceathome #soapmaking #homestead #lye
