🌿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.

Never thought watching someone making soap could be that much peaceful ❤
💯 agree with you 😌
Absolutely! Transported somewhere far and beyond while learning😍
❤
I make an aloe and cucumber soap every year. This was a reminder that it was time. TY!
Sounds wonderful🤗
I make my solutions into ice trays and I find it easier. I also use a blender for the pulp. Just saying everyone does soap a bit different with the same out come. Thank you for these fine videos! 👍🏼💖
That's true😊 Thank you💝
Juicer maybe?
I add real aloe in too
@@sharonhamilton6107 I was thinking about the juicer too, so that I can skip the straining step.
I thought about juicer too. However, if you use it for other things, probably not ideal for hygiene reasons
Absolutely wonderful! I also tried your watermelon soap recipe and it was a hit! I added a small amount of peppermint to it. Many thanks for sharing!! Appreciate you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much💝 I'm so glad it was a hit🤗
Wow! I didn't realize how much work goes into making soap! No wonder it is so expensive! Thank you for making this peaceful and informative video. Your hubby and doggie seem sweet, I'm glad you have them to keep you company while you work hard! 😊
But soapmaking is so much fun and so addictive! This soap maker is internationally known in the soaping community for her work!
Aw thank you🥰
One of my favorite parts is that you eat the ingredients. I don't know why but I feel like this is how our ancestors enjoyed making things. Thank you for this craft you share with the world.
Watching this video was so calm and relaxing for me. I had to go back and write the ingredients down. Thank you for sharing!
This was so relaxing to watch! I enjoyed every part of the soap making! Your soaps always look delicious and healthy 🌿💚
I'm so happy to hear that💚
DELICIOUS? what
A bar of beautiful cooling soap made with love. I feel quite relaxed after watching the video.
Lovely soap, as usual - interesting about adding the menthol crystals too. Thanks for the video. I also like that you don't leave the water running while you show us the lather. 👍
Thank you😊
I was thinking that too, I always turn the water off to lather up! 🧼
Hi there, I get very excited when I see that you are on something new. Thank you for your wonderful formulations.

Very beautiful!, and thank you. I have been making a cucumber soap for years. i only want natural soap. You were the first video i watched making cucumber soap, and achieved the natural color, without adding a unnatural coloring . Cheers! so nice.
I don't even make soap and this is just so relaxing and soothing. I love watching your videos, the cutting and mixing..my brain turns to mush 😅 and I love it
Thank you for these truly inspiring and relaxing video. I jotted down a recipe to try. Very grateful for your talent.
This was a very satisfying vid I seen in a long time and loved the sensory sounds through my bud 😊 thanks
Thank you so much for such a wonderful soap. And thank you for the great explanation about citric acid. I really enjoy your videos.

Lovely soap, I will try it. Thanks Sara. Nice to see Molly too.
Thank you🤗
Perfection 🧼 😊 I love your relaxing quiet videos
Thank you🤗
I look forward to trying your recipe!
The menthol crystals will dissolve completely if you add them to your olive oil and leave it to sit overnight! A method I learned from another youtube soaper. :)
Thanks!
Wow i Like That Saop❤
Menthol crystals for sauna are good too!?
Your dog enjoying a cucumber… 🥰
Thank you. Love the way to make natural Color with the skin of things. 😊
You are doing a phenomenal job i love chemistry and you are executing it by soap making❤
Even if i don't do your recipes because i don't have some ingredients that you use, i Always love watching, it's so relaxing for my brain, this ambiance with music fresh colors and clean ustensiles ...
So beautiful this soap making! Thank you❤
Absolutely wonderful
I'm new to this so making learning. I am so glad that you explain the reason why lye is used in soap making.
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.
I was literally saying 4 weeks !!!! Thanks for explaining.
what lowers its ph over time?
@@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.
@@leonardoospina7110 okay. How does the ph change just by time alone? It had high ph and then 4 weeks later why does the ph go down?
This probably feels sooo good in summer
Beautiful looking soap so peacefully made. I love your videos, and enjoy making soap myself (must try this recipe, thank you). Of course the star of the show is your gorgeous fur baby eating her healthy greens, and having a belly rub! Warm wishes from South Australia. 🥰🐾
Thank you so much🤗🤗
I already made it, it's marvelous! The best soap I have ever made
how long does it last?
So satisfying!❤
❤️
Nice explanation, good soap, colour of the soap is pleasant

This is very nice! Thank you. 🎉
Thank you😊
This was therapeutic to watch
I’m gonna try it. it looks really good ❤️
MashAllah lovely recipe 🤩😋👌
Loved everything . Simple video . Explanation in below box is super . Keep going
I peel some of the cucumbers and dry the peel. A coffee grinder works great to powder it. Then running the cucumbers through the juicer. Freeze.
Great video as always 👍. Love from Nigeria
Thank you🤗
Hello, Master 🩷I'm currently trying to make this soap. 🥰 Could you please explain more about these crystals? What are they specifically used for? Also, if I don't use essential oils in the soaps you've taught, should I recalculate the lye?🌸
I also add citric acid to my soap recipe at 2% of recipe. I also make small batches. Love your videos they’re so soothing.
Awesome, thank you🥰
@@tellervo. your very welcome. I love handmade soaps. It help my skin recover from the chemo and radiation after my mastectomies.
@@tellervo.Good night from Jamaica I love your videos. Am interested I want to start a soap business asap.
I’m curious about the benefits of citric acid in the soap?
Very relax to the mind to watching the video Thank you sissy
Amazing work I cant believe im just coming across your channel!
Oh god that's amazing I was like hypnotised lol
love your video, so relaxing
Congratulations 🎉 this is amazing 👏 ❤️
Thank you☺️
Just stumbled upon dis channel nd am loving every bit of ur videos. They r so very informative nd relaxing. I cant wait to try dem out. I love creativity nd i found one. Thank u so much😊
Lovely, watched it till the end, honestly just to see if you have added any colourant
How very pleasant a soap I will try,I was thinking instead of the mortar why not a grinder then the skin will be finer to bring out the colour also instead of menthol essential oil because the menthol crystals are very strong I use in pain relief remedies I will use cucumber essential oil to balance the smell your soap is very good well done and Thank you.
Hvala ti puno 🙌❤ kada bi bio prevod na vise jezika, bilo bi predivno.🌸
Love watching your tutorials. Can you do a tutorial on making shampoo bars.
I have a few on my channel🙂
apparently i love the sound of cucumber
Me too hehe
Only by the look my skin feel the soft of the soap
definitely trying this out
