What we liked

  • + 99% purity is suitable for accurate cold process lye calculations
  • + Pack of 2 smaller containers limits moisture exposure once opened
  • + Beads and flakes dissolve readily when added slowly to cold water

Trade-offs

  • - Mixed beads and flakes can weigh less evenly than uniform beads
  • - Newer brand without the long soap-making history of Boyer
