Hi Annamarie! As long as the lye is 100% sodium hydroxide, with nothing else added, then it can be used for soap making, no matter where you buy it. The problem I ended up running into with local supplies of lye is that they were really unreliable as far as how well they’d been stored. Since there wasn’t high demand, I kept getting bottles filled with clumps (indicating they’d gotten moisture in them and they wouldn’t measure correctly.) I really like Essential Depot’s consistent quality and it’s nice having it come right to my door too! :)
