🌿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.

    Excellent work😍. It is very important to highlight the process of curing the soaps for at least 4 weeks since that is when it is safe to use it because its acidity levels are respectful of the skin. If used before time it can cause damage to the skin due to its high level of PH.

    @@victoriadeery2081 What makes its use safe is to allow 4 weeks to pass before use, no less than that. The advantage is that these soaps can last for years stored ready for use or sale, so you can prepare a large quantity and store the soaps without any problem.
