🟢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.

The decadence of all captured in this tutorial, Sara, is so glorious. Thank you for taking the time to once again, produce such a work of art. And anytime we get to see Molly enjoying time with her mommy puts a smile on my face - and I'm sure everyone else's too! 😊

A wonderful video, I didn't know you could collect Sea Buckthorn berries so easily, you are extremely lucky to have these in such a way you can simply walk out the door and pick them from your garden orchard! Beautiful soap bars with one of my favourite berries.
