The other day, one of my customers was going on about loving the scents of BBW lotions, then asked me about the ingredients. I gave her the "common" names of the ingredients and helped her figure out what all is in the lotion and why it's there, except for Sodium Hydroxide. I told her it was lye, but couldn't tell her why it was in there. She was happy I could answer most of what she needed, but I am stumped about the lye and now it's bugging me.
So, why is there lye in BBW lotion, or any lotion for that matter? I'm just confused.

TIA

Sodium hydroxide is used as a pH adjustor.
