🍅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.

[@bionutritive]

@@tellervo. My first attempt was a challenge. I just juiced the tomatoes and froze the juice, which curdled after adding the lye. I only used oils and no butters. The final bar turned out fine but I want to try your process because your bars look so creamy and smooth! Thanks again, cheers and looking forward to more of your amazing creations!

[@mamencorrales4231]

Wonderful soap!!. I also made one in May of last year, but the process was a little different. I live in Extremadura, in southern Spain, where tomato cultivation is very abundant. The properties of this soap are excellent, I added thyme essential oil. Congratulations for this magnificent elaboration and thank you very much, als allways, for being able to enjoy your video.

[@kellsgreenidge8885]

I've made soap with fresh tomatoes but not like how you did. I love the idea of creating an oil infusion with the skin. Thanks for sharing.

That would've been great😊

[@s_bylavou]

Greetings from Ukraine) One summer I couldn't sleep because of the thought - why not make soap on tomato juice, and also on cucumber? And I also use melon juice, I freeze it first, and it's so delicious!!! You have such a beautiful soap! By the way, tomato in cosmetics brightens the skin!

[@tellervo.]

Haha that's awesome, the soaps sound great🤗 Thank you so much!

[@chafekar1]

Hi, Thanks for the amazing content as always. Just a question infuse on Low heat, how much time we have to keep on heat

[@tellervo.]

Thank you! I infused it overnight but the heat wasn't on the entire time, I would say a minimum of 4 hours for the infusion on low heat

[@amalabdurrahman494]

Fantastic idea! I never thought tomato can be mde soap.. Have you ever tried indian red spinach?

Thank you🤗 No I haven't sounds interesting!

Can i use coconut oil for infused instead of olive oil

[@daysicalderon2954]

Wao! I always mesmerized watching your videos. Beautiful soap. How do you manage not to get soda ash.

[@tellervo.]

Thank you that's so sweet of you to say🤗 This time I poured at a thick trace and made sure that the soap stayed warm for a long time. I often get soda ash and usually it's when I've poured at a thinner trace, had my soap at a cool temperature and also used more water in my recipe.

[@daysicalderon2954]

Thank you so much for letting me know. I'm new at soapmaking and always got soda ash. Following up your advice.

[@Iamam313]

how do thse soaps look after curing time has passed? is there any color change? also do they go bad at some point? and how come your soaps never develop soda ash?

[@1speakable]

I luv the video, how long did you keep the oil and tomato paste on the stove Ty

[@tellervo.]

Thank you😊 I didn't check exactly, it took several hours for the tomatoes and the oil infused for pretty much 24 hours

[@maryam7959]

can you make a video how to store a bar soap after use it?

It's best to store in a relatively cool area with good air flow

[@tiamccarthy9942]

So when it come to the soaps that you make is there a of tripling your soap recipe batch without causing your soap to crystallize from the citric acid?

[@renujha2431]

Whatever batch size or recipe you may be using, citric acid is to be added at a rate of 1 to 2% of the total weight of your oils. And then, for every gram of citric acid that you use, you have would have to increase the sodium hydroxide amount by 0.6 times of that. Example: You use a total of 1000 gms of oils. Then citric acid will be 20 gms (at 2%). Whatever your sodium hydroxide amount is, as per the recipie, you would add 12 gms more to that. Hope this helps.

[@hajira5405]

Love your videos ❤… y can’t we use tomato juice n pulp than reducing it to a paste ! Can you plz tell …

[@tellervo.]

Thank you💝 Of course you can😊

[@tellervo.]

Thank you so much💝 The shelf life is 6-12 months but often they last much longer than that😊 Maybe you could make a smaller batch?

[@tajulislam3389]

thank of lood and i love u gaza and you

[@dewcoircosmetics.5999]

Very nice finish and color!❤ I thoroughly enjoy this video. Does this soap leave a color in the water? Also, I'm curious if excessive cooking may reduce the fruit's potency for topical use.

[@iluminameluna]

Most soaps don't leave color behind, w/ the exception of activated charcoal. If too much is added to soap, the suds will contain the fine powder and will be deposited in the wash towels or the materials used to scrub. If there's soap scum, that'll be gray as well... 🫤

[@tellervo.]

Thank you so much💝 It did leave a little color but not enough to be a problem in my opinion😊

Tank you!

[@isaaczulu3991]

Thank you so much for your dedication. Am a new baby in soap making. Whats the recommended % of hard and soft oils in soap making?

[@tellervo.]

60-40 is pretty standard but it depends on the overall formula

[@isaaczulu3991]

Thank you so much @tellervo for your quick response. Have you ever used sunflower oil in your soap?

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

My first thought at what essential oil to add was, "Oregano oil!" ...though that's probably because I put oregano in almost eveything savoury I cook, esepcailly if it involves tomatoes, and also the only essential oils I have on hand at the mement are lavender and oregano!

[@luludi3]

@bunhelsingslegacy3549 Hi! Oregano essential oil speeds up trace like crazy so be careful if you ever want to make soap with it. I suggest basil instead, it smells so nice in soap and is much easier to work with. 🍃🍅

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

@@luludi3 Thanks for that information! I haven't tried making soap yet but it's on the To Do list!
