In this video I show you how I made a homemade botanical soap with freshly tapped birch juice/ birch sap! Thank you for watching💕 • 🌿Learn to formulate your own soap recipes here: • https://www.tellervo.fi/shop/p/the-so... • 🌿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.
