I know this has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find the right info (did a quick search online, but not sure who to trust).
Question is: Is lye an "all natural" product? Is it a "natural" product? Another soap says that lye is natural, because it is just sodium chloride that goes through the process of electrolysis.
Please help me learn :).

It's lab made. Natural can come from wood ashes, but you won't know the strength.

Everything I've read says that it is a solution of salt water that is electrically charged. It produces the sodium hydroxide as well as chlorine gas. So it is a "natural" substance that is producing the lye through a commercial process.

No, that is just saying that part of the components used to make lye are natural substances. The end product is not.

Yes, lye is completely natural, just exactly the same as French Fries are vegetables, right ;)

Well, now my curiosity is peaked. How exactly is commercially produced lye made?
