🍉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.

Thank you🥰 I seem to have more issues with soda ash in wintertime, sometimes nothing helps when it's cold and dry. But as you said isopropyl alcohol and forcing gel can help. But I find that using a water discount and pouring at a thick trace are the most helpful things to prevent soda ash😊

If you want to use a preservative you can. Personally, I don't find it necessary. But it's better to use the fresh soaps within 6-12 months😊

That's unfortunate, a properly formulated soap with fresh ingredients should last anywhere from 6-12 months and even longer than that. You can also use a preservative if you choose to.

The soaps would look better if they're square on all sides instead of the raised top.

[@Soul.7]

It is always personal preference with soapmakers shapes - square, round, flat top, or textured roof tops - you choose what you like. For each shape? Someone somewhere is gonna love them, everywhere you look. Let there be variety. That is the true nature of creativity. There is no error here, just individual opinion and personal choice. Keep an open mind if you are able. xx
