White Basic Lye Soap with Red and White paper label packaging

Basic Lye Soap

$ 5.25 
Simply basic, non-moisturizing, fragrance-free lye soap - nothing added to make it anything more than that! It's the one that leaves you "squeaky clean" and is great for those with extra oily skin.


There's no excess lye to hurt the skin, but most soapmakers like to make soaps that are soothing to the skin. This isn't the soap for that.  We recommend our Traditional Lye Soap if you want a great everyday bath bar.  Our Basic Lye Soap won't leave clothes smelling rancid (that means too much excess oil in the soap), makes a great spot cleaner and works wonders on poison oak and ivy.

4.5 ounce bar

This vintage recipe soap is made exactly like my grandmother made it with lard, water and lye (sodium hydroxide).

Gotta Have My Lye Soap!!

I am so allergic to poison ivy. I wash with this as soon as I know I have been around the ivy, which is every summer for sure. I bought plastic travel soap holders and gave all my family members a bar as well. Thank you!!

One at every sink

I am ashamed that we have not left a review before now. We have been using this soap to remove stains on the Sisters' white habits for 15 years now! Nothing comes close to the lye soap from MoSoap. There is a bar of lye at every sink in the convent. The lye removes everything! And it does not damage the wool and linen fabric. People often ask how we keep our habits so white. The answer is MoSoap's Lye. Thank you MoSoap!
