The saponification process involves combining fats and oils with lye to create soap and glycerin. The chemical reaction generates heat and produces caustic soda which then interacts with the oils and fats in a process called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis results in the formation of soap particles and glycerin. It is important to note that during saponification, the chemical composition of lye changes completely.
