Yeah google, seriously how fucking hard is it to google "lye", "caustic soda"?
You can buy it on ebay or even in big hardware stores under a different brand.

The active desired chem in RD lye is NaOH.

Look it up. You can find it if you try. Posting of brand names for chemicals is not allowed here, BECAUSE of the red devil lye incident. It got to the point people thought you needed THAT brand. So, go do some research, and read the backs of all the labels in the plumbing section, and you will find what you need. Locked.
