🌿Citric acid information:
When citric acid and sodium hydroxide lye (NaOH) are combined, sodium citrate is created. Sodium citrate works as a chelator in soap.
A chelator traps metal ions such as calcium and magnesium that can be found in tap water.
These metal contaminants can cause rancidity and soap scum in handmade soap.
A chelator binds to these metals so that they can’t bind to the soap molecules. This way the soap won’t react with them and the soap's lather improves + shelf life increases.
Citric acid does not lower the pH of soap. Instead it consumes some of the lye and increases the superfat. Add 6 g extra lye for every 10 g of citric acid added to a soap recipe if you want to keep the superfat % at the same level.
How much citric acid should be added to soap?
Usage rate in bar soap is 1-2% of the oil weight.
How to use citric acid
Add citric acid to the distilled water and dissolve completely before adding the lye, or make a separate solution of citric acid and distilled water and add to the oils.

I'm so happy you did a sea moss soap! Their lather is so wonderfully rich and creamy. I continuously sell out of my sea moss soap. People love them, and for good reason. BRAVO!!! 👏

[@calmmind7711]

hi also want start soap making buisness in india can you plz tell me what kind of soap people like to buy

[@tellervo.]

That's amazing, congratulations🤗🤗

[@JKBee369]

@@tellervo. Thank you so much! Your soap was such a lovely color. I felt like I could smell the grapefruit while you were chopping, zesting, and squeezing those beautifully ruby red fruits. You always go the extra mile. There is no shortcutting to save time for you. You and your soap is always about quality ingredients and craftsmanship. 😊

[@JKBee369]

@@calmmind7711 That is a hard question. You have to decide what kind of an audience you want to cater to and go with that. Do you want soap made with essential oils and natural colorants? Or do you want to use micas and fragrance oil for bolder colors and scents? I suggest making a few batches to see what you like and what sells.

[@tellervo.]

@@JKBee369Thank you, that makes me happy to hear 🤗

Thanks so much for this. I wanted to develop a seaweed soap, and tried a salting out method I saw in another video, but that didn’t yield the result I wanted. I have now rethought the process from watching your gel method and will try again, using other ingredients, but I think it will work out now!

Very lovely soap. You have the best videos! The music is so relaxing. Well done! Question, do you spray rubbing alcohol to prevent soda ash when soaping at a low temp?

[@tellervo.]

Thank you so much🤗 i have yes but i don’t find it to be that helpful unfortunately

I am a room temperature soaper and never ever use alcohol. I do a deep water discount though on all of my soaps. AC is the only one that always get ashy.

[@curiousgirl18]

Sara, thanks for a lovely video as usual. Two questions, -what are the benefits of sea moss and -why do you have to dispose of the water from the sea moss? ❤

[@Allthebest1010]

The sea moss water has sand and other elements she’s probably getting rid of. Sea moss has all but two, nutrients the body needs. That’s why it’s been all the rage in recent years

[@tellervo.]

Thank you💝 Sea moss gives the lather a luxurious feel. And yes it needs to be cleaned and it has salt residue too that i like to rinse out!

[@destbmh]

Such a lovely video! You just helped me get out of my little funk, I’m ready to soap now! Grapefruit is my favorite fruit. When you use the fruit, does the scent of grapefruit last longer than using grapefruit essential oil?

[@tellervo.]

Thank you so much, that's awesome! The scent doesn't unfortunately come through..

[@amalabdurrahman494]

Love it.. I have some questions please:) have you ever made ppomegranate soap? I wonder how the colour will be? What essential oils last longer? Have tried sandalwood essential oil? Does it last longer?

[@tellervo.]

Thank you! No I haven't but it sounds great😊 I haven't tried sandalwood either..

[@nataliemayangi1867]

Anyway to do this without the grapefruit additions and adding in essential oils instead?

[@Adam_anaisse]

Very lovely 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thank you😊

[@Iamam313]

can I use wakame algae instead? I have lots of that still

[@proegde161]

can we use homemade soap for face

Yes, so I adjusted the amount

[@mayarhassan6154]

@@tellervo. So why did you add it from the beginning?

[@yasaminrahnejat6676]

Could I use other oil that you use in this recipe to infuse the peels??

[@tellervo.]

Yes, but you need to recalculate the lye in that case☺️

[@yasaminrahnejat6676]

​@tellervo. Oo Thanks but , I mean, instead of using 250 grams of infused olive oil as you did, can I use 24 grams of castor oil for infusing the peels, and follow the recipe and procedure?

[@shoresofreedom]

does it smell like grapefruit ?

[@tellervo.]

I used a citrus fragrance☺️

[@shoresofreedom]

@@tellervo. oh, so infusing the olive oil with the zest served for nothing ?

[@relaxation-Corner]

​@@shoresofreedomright!? And the heat would probably kill beneficial properties too

[@shoresofreedom]

@@relaxation-Corner well, the zest is mainly limonene so there aren't much properties to begin with besides the scent, and sometimes the color. as for other infused oils in soap, i think you're right, but i think they mainly infuse them for the color.

[@tellervo.]

​I used the zest for color😊😊😊

[@Beatrice-m4q]

Do you add preservatives?

[@shoresofreedom]

you don't need preservatives in soap as it has a high pH.

Nope🙂
