Type "Soda Lime" into Google. The Wikipedia article gives the following information

Chemical components of Soda Lime

The main components of soda lime are
Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (about 75%),
Water, H2O (about 20%),
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH (about 3%), and
Potassium hydroxide, KOH (about 1%).

I have never made it myself, but this might be a starting place!

Cheers
Ian :)

Just be careful. It is recommended by school safety for use by yr 11 and 12 only. It is corrosive and toxic.
