    If you add too much acid to your soap, you'll turn it back into fat. If you need a cleanser with a pH of 5.5, your best bet is probably some sort of detergent like sodium cocoyl isethionate

    Using citric acid at 1% worked for me. It lowered the pH from 8 to 7. However I did not add it to the lye solution it was added after trace. Idk if this helps.

    of course CA does not have an effect on the final soap pH! The soap is chemically alkaline so if you add some acid this will get neutralized and the pH overall with not change! It simply works like a buffer. Its nature is to be alkaline so if you wanna ''change'' the pH, you will have a completely different substance and not soap. It's chemistry.
