🌿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.

[@Badonkudonk]

Have purchased your guides, looking forward to learning more about fresh soap making. I do have a question, what if you do not want to add citric acid, how would you compensate for that? Love your videos!

[@tellervo.]

Awesome🤗 You should use less lye if not using citric acid, I have added about 6 grams extra lye for every 10 grams of citric acid to my recipes😊

[@ktthompso3746]

@@tellervo. I also have a question, could lemon juice be used in replacement for the citric acid? Would this accomplish the same chelation method?

[@yasminislam8850]

❤❤❤

[@silkemueller1391]

can you add the juice after adding lye to oils? im trying to use my homegriwn lemons in a soap without. them loosing the benefits.

How do you measure water for your soaps. Can you please tell me that

I love your recipes. I watch your videos everyday please answer me

[@tellervo.]

Thank you so much!

[@Hudsonvalleysoapery]

Could we use orange zest instead of pepper in the soap?

[@landhcreations]

So I'm going to make this including the citrus soaps, can you give me the percentages you use for ingredients? I work in ounces and I'm having trouble figuring out how much you use

[@jamsravi1736]

Hi, i watched a lot of your videos and noticed that you use citric acid in all of your soap. Is there any particular reason for it? Just curious...Btw, love your choice of ingredients. i started making my own soap after coming across your videos

Waiting for Kojic Acid Soap making

[@parthapratimdeori645]

Soaps are beautiful. But i have one question. How long should i keep those soaps until i can use them?

[@tellervo.]

Thank you! Cure time is 4-6 weeks😊

[@yasaminrahnejat6676]

I had two questions that I forgot to ask before. Now that I've seen this combination of videos 😂, I remembered. Is there another oil that I can substitute for mango butter, and are the sea mosses optional or are they part of the recipe?

[@tellervo.]

Mango butter can be substituted with another plant butter, but you need to recalculate the lye amount in that case😊 And the sea moss can be left out or substituted with another natural gel!

[@yasaminrahnejat6676]

@tellervo.Oo Thanks . Unfortunately, we don't have mango butter in Iran. Can I substitute half cocoa butter and half coconut oil for mango butter, or is it better to replace mango butter with coconut butter? Or shea butter ?

[@Skinsensations_Edith]

Do you sell your soaps?

[@BarsikeMC]

Здравствуйте!) Сколько Ваше мыло держится по сроку? В интернете и на форумах пишут от 2 до 6 месяцев. Каковы Ваши сроки? Спасибо за ответ и Ваш труд!)

[@landhcreations]

Why would you want to prevent gelling?

[@tellervo.]

To keep the color lighter, for example

[@caribfacesassi3544]

I always wanted to know how come they don't use preservatives in soap making and there is water involved?

[@tellervo.]

The final soap has a low water amount after the cure and the pH is high which acts as a preservative.

[@caribfacesassi3544]

@@tellervo. oh ok i didnt know that, but thanks a lot.

[@amalabdurrahman494]

I just want to eat all of your soaps😍 I have a question for you 😊 Do you know Cider? It's a very popular tree in my country.. do you know what colour will i get? How do we know colours without making and wasting soap?

[@tellervo.]

Aw hehe😊 I have actually never heard of cider trees unfortunately.. You can make a small test batch of soap when testing colors to avoid waisting a whole loaf!

[@caramaildulce]

Cedar teee🤔

Have you ever made soap using fresh pineapple?😊

[@janettepilkington7832]

I really like milk soaps right now😊

[@131dyana]

I do not think I will try that soap. too complicated.
