Homemade watermelon soap🍉 A natural summer soap recipe☀️

🍉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.

What a pretty soap! Is there a reason for the different formulations you make? I mean, is there a particular benefit to watermelon soap, blueberry soap etc or is it just about making it visually pleasing?

Great to see Kiri. Nico helping in stamping the soaps.

So beautiful, Sarah. May I ask whio films your videos and how do you manage to move to the different frames without it jumping. The flow of your frames are so professional. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa.

I wonder what the dog thinks when his owner is not playing with him but teaching us to make soap. I noticed the dog long time ago. Nice dog. They look very pretty together, the owner and the dog.

I purchased your three courses and I loved them. I made one of the recipes and I loved it in the healing process. Thank you, do you ship stamps to Puerto Rico?

Oh wowww you answered my question midway through your video. I learned that arrowroot (which is a starch) is used in bathsalts to hold the scent. So I thought...I wonder if it would work 🤔 for soap? And here you are doing just that! Thank 😊 you im going to try my arrowroot powder and see how that goes. 👍
