🍉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.

So beautiful, Sarah. May I ask whio films your videos and how do you manage to move to the different frames without it jumping. The flow of your frames are so professional. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa.

[@safi456]

What a pretty soap! Is there a reason for the different formulations you make? I mean, is there a particular benefit to watermelon soap, blueberry soap etc or is it just about making it visually pleasing?

[@leianahope4831]

i've loved and found rest in your videos for years! thank you

Makes me so happy to hear❤️

[@ivetamandla1257]

I wonder what the dog thinks when his owner is not playing with him but teaching us to make soap. I noticed the dog long time ago. Nice dog. They look very pretty together, the owner and the dog.

[@tellervo.]

Thank you☺️ I wonder too hehe

@tellervo where do you recommend buying tbe ingredients such as olive oil, coconut oil, or essential oils that you use in your soaps?

[@tellervo.]

I recommend finding a local supplier to you😊

[@cruztherapeuticcandles]

Oh wowww you answered my question midway through your video. I learned that arrowroot (which is a starch) is used in bathsalts to hold the scent. So I thought...I wonder if it would work 🤔 for soap? And here you are doing just that! Thank 😊 you im going to try my arrowroot powder and see how that goes. 👍

[@سناءخالد-ح8ط]

Very very nice. What is the substitute for rhubarb powder, if possible? Do you use essential oils or aromatic oils?❤❤

[@tellervo.]

Thank you! You can use another red colorant. I use essential oils🤗💝

[@marinaOfTheSeas]

What's your secret to always having such beautiful , soda ash-free tops!? I spray with alcohol , and force gel phase but I seem to keep getting it. Any tips? Your soap is so gorgeous 😍

[@tellervo.]

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😊

So beautiful. Thank you for a good video. I wonder why you add citric acid to watermelon juice.

[@Ayaskiara]

I was scrolling through KZbin the other day and came across your video on how to make homemade lemon and turmeric soap. I must say, I was really impressed by how natural and beautiful the finished soaps looked! 🧼🎨 As a black woman myself, I'm really interested in trying out your soap recipes, but I wanted to check - are these formulas suitable for darker skin tones like mine? 🤎 I'd love to be able to make the soaps at home, but I want to make sure the ingredients and process will work well for my skin. Could you please let me know if your soap recipes are inclusive and effective for a range of skin types? I'd really appreciate the guidance!

Few learning points though using corn starch for the oils to stick😮 U make your own stamps😮😮 Have a query do you use same amount of the rhubarb powder for making an olive oil suspension the long way like 6wks. Waiting for your stamp making videos 🎉

hello . I have a question . Should i preserve the soaps if i make a bunch of them or it does not need any ? If yes. Then what natural preservatives can i use to prevent chemicals ? Thank you so much for your informative vides !

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😊
