Learn to formulate your own soap recipes here:
Recipe:
120 g shea butter
168 g coconut oil
42 g cocoa butter
210 g olive oil
36 g castor oil
24 g grapeseed oil
167 g distilled water
12 g citric acid (do not omit if using this recipe)
90.3 g sodium hydroxide
8 silk cocoons
1 tsp ultramarine pink
A splash of distilled water
10 ml fragrance oil (I used relaxing embrace by gracefruit)
Cure the soap for 4-6 weeks before using it on your skin.
○ 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.
