Herbal infused fresh aloe vera gel soap🍀 Natural homemade 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.

I figured out it's a lot easier to deal with aloe if you freeze it first. The cells separate and break apart like ice cubes completely leaving the skin behind. I process 3 huge leaves within 5 minutes doing that.

Hello ❤ I just a little curious that is cocoa butter and cacao butter the same thing? Because when I look for the answer on the internet, almost every one said it is the same! But cacao butter smells just like chocolate and the smell is very strong😮 Thanks for sharing great recipes ❤ I made a few with your recipes which turned out great and waiting for cured to be used!!!
