Citric Acid in Soap / Hard Water Soap Scum Solution
Adding citric acid to your Dish or Laundry soap will help reduce soap scum in hard water, and can even help reduce chances for DOS (Dreaded Orange Spots). The reaction between Citric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide produces Sodium Citrate that acts as a Chelator by binding to the minerals and metals in your water and in the process improves the effectiveness of your soap. This is a lovely zero waste, vegan soap that produces a lot of bubbles with a high cleansing value. It can be used as a dish or laundry soap.

Citric Acid in soap. You can use 1% to 3% (in relation to your oil weight) of Citric Acid in your soap recipe 10grams of Citric Acid will neutralize about 6,24 grams of NaOH or 8,42 grams of KOH
Dissolve the Citric Acid in your water before adding lye, WARNING because of the acidity the solution can bubble up when the lye is added. Make sure you use a large container with plenty of head-space to mix in, alternatively you can place your lye container in another container or work in the zink.
The recipe used in the video (1000grams of Dish Soap with a 0,5% Superfat) 634grams Coconut oil (100%) 231grams Water 115grams NaOH + 4gram NaOH to adjust for the Portion of lye neutralized by the CA 12 grams Citric Acid ( 1% of the Oil weight)
An affordable oil blend to replace Olive oil in soap making to get similar results.
With the crazy increase in oil prices, it becomes nearly impossible to make and sell soap at a profit.

This Tallow Balm Lotion Bar is super easy and fast to make. All the constant hand sanitization is so drying on our skin, and a little TLC will do your hands wonders. This recipe is not tacky or waxy at all, it absorbs completely and leaves your hands nice and soft. It is also suitable for child-friendly holiday activities.
00:00 Introduction
01:00 Demonstration
06:40 Unmold and Packaging
Recipe:
100gram Tallow
25 Gram Soft oil (Olive Oil)
20 Drops Essential oil (Optional)
You can replace or add some beeswax or Soy wax to your bar but it will alter the
fast absorption and give a different feel to the lotion.
