Chart of Saponification Values for Making Soap!

Our chart of saponification values (for determining the amount of lye needed to make soap) is one of the most accurate on the Internet. This project involved contacting dozens of oil distributors and processors in 2006 and averaging the true SAP values before calculating the saponification values for lye (sodium hydroxide). The chart of saponification values, along with a brief explanation of terms and calculations, may be found on the Certified Lye™ website: Chart of Saponification Values.
