Hi, thankyou for the video... May i ask what kind of kojic acid you use ?? Is it kojic acid or kojic acid dipalmitate ???

[@nithyambikaic310]

How much kojic acid powder or what percentage didu add to your recipe?.Thanks

[@Mandingliza4563]

Hello Dear, I used 2% of kojic, ( 2% from the total oil weight) my oil weight is 500 grams. In this recipe I used 10 grams of kojic.

[@JamesEkdo]

What kind of kojic u use ?? If im not mistaken there are 2 tipes of kojic acid, kojic acid powder and kojic acid dipalmitate... Which one you use ???

[@Mandingliza4563]

Hello @JamesEkdo, thank you for watching. Yes, you're right. There are 2 types of Kojic. In this soap, I used Kojic Acid Dipalmitate KAD powder. And this is oil soluble. ❤️

please what is the lye and water in grams

[@Mandingliza4563]

For my 500 grams of oil, lye is 70.75 grams and water is 190 grams this is base to the soap calc I used. And one thing there is additional of lye because of the presence of citric acid. Please check my video I indicate the formulation how to add the lye when citric acid is added. Thanks, I hope I answered your concern.❤

[@amirthashankari9723]

Pls mention percentage of kojic acid and citric acid u used …like 99% ?

[@amirthashankari9723]

And does this formula apply to all active ingredients ? And adding 1 or 2 ingredients in the same oil ..will that affect soap ph ..how to compensate that ?

[@Mandingliza4563]

Hello, according to the supplier kojic can be use 1%-3% in soap formulation. And citric acid is 1%-2% of oil amount.

[@amirthashankari9723]

@@Mandingliza4563 Am asking the concentration of kojic acid Like 100 % or 50 % Will that affect the soap Ph

[@winnifredguinevive7318]

How many grams of kojic acid , papaya extract and tumeric did you use

[@Mandingliza4563]

Hello There, according to my supplier I can use 1%-3% of kojic powder. I used 1% of my 500g. Of oil. 500g x 2% = 10g.

[@Mandingliza4563]

2 tbsp. of papaya extract and 1tsp of turmeric powder.

[@amirthashankari9723]

Why water is not included in calculating the total percentage ? Thanks for ur calculation

[@thebetteryou-808]

is adding kojic acid powder before trace a good idea? kojic acid is heat sensitive so i feel like the heat from the oil and lye will destroy its benefits before it even turns out as a soap. is it better to add Kojic acid after trace? what are your thoughts on that? and how well has the soap worked for ya'll?

[@Mandingliza4563]

Thank you so much for your interaction. Right now, the soap looks great and ready for testing. I'm going to test it of using the whole bar until I can till the kojic really helps the dark spot made lighter. I'm going to repost the result. Thank you very much. I appreciated it a lot.❤️
