☘️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 really appreciate that you include a concise explanation as to why the citric acid is important and how it works. It pleases my autism greatly! :)
So glad to hear that😊
What do you mean by curing a soap
@@3funnydudes152 When using the cold process method to make soap the product has to cure for a few weeks to ensure the saponification (the process that turn the fats into soap) is complete :)

I wish I could like this a million times! Love ittt
Thank you so much🥰
Shalom😊
I just wanna tell you that I have been on a quest to learn how to make soap, but the journey has left me a bit intimidated.
I was/am excited to make a nice soap, but most of the recipes included lard or palm oil.
I was/am a bit frustrated because I envisioned my own ingredients., then I happened upon your video and ALL OF A SUDDEN there was a connection!!!
You are throughly concise, I love the ingredients that you use, and above all this...I feel safe in your presence and not intimidated.
Thanks for your ability to wanna teach and make the newcomers feel that they too, can slay the soap dragon😊
Be blessed and stay you!!!
By the way...I will be purchasing your on line book, and I love your pooch❤
You're so sweet and I'm so glad I've been able to help!💝
Check out soapee (an online lye calculator). It has a whole long list of oils and fats and waxes that can be used for soap making. A lot of them were things I already had or could easily get. I found it so encouraging, and now I'm the proud maker of my first batch of soap!
I love finding new soap makers your videos are so relaxing
Thank you so much!
Oh my . Ur baby is adorable. Perfect video: outdoors, natural products, ur baby.
You are simply the best. You make me want to make soap everyday. It's like you sleep in soap ☺️. It's so lovely and educative watching you make soap with simplicity . I love all of your videos. Thanks for sharing
Aww you're so sweet🥰
Lovely colour and no colour bleed! amazing!

Hey Tellervo I wanted to let you know we finally got snow where i live Friday of last week been waiting to collect fresh snow since the winter of 2023 to make this batch of soap lol well today is the day for soaping. I'll come back later to give you an update😊👍🏻 Love ❤️ from across the pond to you hubby and molly 🐕🦺
The birdsong at the end will increase your program a thousand times. It's like a cake to eat. Very good

I Didn't even finish the video ... but let me tell you ... I've fell in love with everything about it❤❤❤

Love how smooth it came out, beautiful!.❤ Way before I watched your video, I tried and made a charcoal soap but mine came out too wet and too dark, and dark lather, maybe I used too much charcoal. Should have watched your video first !😅😅
I really like your soaps and you have inspired me greatly in how i put my own soaps together.
Thank you that's so nice to hear🤗

Fantastic video and thank you for sharing. Please can you confirm id the lactic acid to increase the soap hardness, it's still need it? Will work?
Very pretty and relaxing video. Nice soap, thank you for sharing.
Hello, super nice video. I love your channel! ❤ Is this recipe good for face soap?

Thank you so much Roslyn! That makes me so happy🤗 i'm sure living in Australia has its perks though hehe. And Molly sends her love back of course💝
I love how richly black these are! Also, I never go without citric acid in my recipes anymore because of your videos 😊
So glad to hear☺️
What's the effect of the citric acid in the recipes?
@@djVania08 She tells about this in the section below the video. Very interesting.
I love everything about your video! 🥰 But I'm not sure exactly how many bars you cut from the loaf. Was it 8? Also, would you comment on the one month curing time? I would have thought it would need longer.
Awesome 👌..
🤗
You are amazing I love watching your videos they are so relaxing, thank you! Is there a benefit to charcoal soap, or just for pretty color?
charcoal allegedly works to remove chlorine from skin after swimming
Thank you so much first time whatching your video ♥️
Gorgeous and comforting!
I love making charcoal.soap. Yours looks amazing ❤
Thank you Firdows💝
First time watching your video. Very impressive. I’m a soap maker myself. I have a new business and I’m loving it.
Thank you that's so great to hear🤗
It's amazing 🤩
Hellow, i just watched ur video and love it. But i really need to know what is the function of citric acid in this recipe? And why we need to left the soap in the preheated oven over night? I really hope u would consider my comment. Thank you😊
What an amazing video. I would love to buy this soap from you. Hi from England 😊
soo shinning !!! and gorgeous 😍
Thank you🥰
Your videos are so soothing. Well done to you..
Thank you☺️
❤ your soap. Thank you for sharing 😘
Thank you🤗
Beautiful just beautiful thank you for the video of the soap as well as the beautiful place around.why is it necessary to add citric acid and not skip it?
Thank you so much! It's just if you follow the recipes as is, if you recalculate the lye amount you can skip it☺️
I wish you put out more videos. I love your channel.
Thank you!
Hi, can I use your soap recipe if you don't mind ?
Btw I looove your videos 😊
Hola, Saludos desde República Dominicana, mil Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos
Thank you🤗
Where did you get the nice soap cutting box? I like the design of it.
Can you give the recipe in percentage? Loved the video!
Don't know why everyone is concerned because of the snow. Lye kills almost everything and unless you don't collect your snow beside roads or railroads you are fine. I'm worried more because of the mittens. You dont have grip, they are thick and you lack sense of touch in them and when you drip lye over them they don't protect enough. The video is aestetic, no question. But i dont recomend this for beginners. To everyone who want to try his hands on soapmaking: please research the important safety precautions before starting
I was actually wearing plastic gloves underneath but i grabbed the mittens because i started to freeze🙂
Exactly and it’s her soap
I admire your attire very much! You have excellent taste!👍👍👍 May I know the reason for citric acid to be mandatory in this recipe? Thank you in advance🙏🙏🙏
Citric acid neutralizes lye so if you remove the citric acid the soap will be lye heavy unless you recalculate the lye.
@@amistydimnesssoap7005 That's not what may was asking, may want's to know why the citric is being added, it is usually added when working with hard water, which makes no sense with this recipe as Snow is being used, which is essentially rain, so unless where the snow was sourced from has something like acid rain, there is no need to add citric to this recipe
@@-PORK-CHOP- I don't understand why the emphasis with citric acid in this video. Normally, she doesn't do that, hence my question.
@@amistydimnesssoap7005 I don't think the soap will be lye heavy if I don't use citric acid, without recounting. There is the SF to help out. The worst is having less SF, that's all. Anyway, I always go thru soap calc when I make soap, with or without citric acid.
Thank you May🤗 you should never omit the citric acid from a recipe without runnning it through a lye calculator, I have just added the note for clarity incase someone makes soap with this recipe and thinks citric acid can be left out without it having an effect on the final result🙂
Can I use avocado butter instead of cocoa butter? Beautiful beautiful channel thank you
Love all of your videos❤ I hope you will make liquid soap one day😊
Thank you so much💝
J'adore vos vidéos, vous avez un travail parfait merci beaucoup à vous
Thank you so much☺️
Just beautiful ❤️ thanks for sharing
Thank you❤️
قناتك رائعة سيدتي تحية كبيرة من المغرب
So I did my own calculations based on the info regarding 6g lye per 10 grams citric acid. I found if i omitted the citric acid from the recipe, the lye contect would decrease by 3.9 grams, so instead of 94.4 g i will use 90.4 g instead. Ill see how it turns out and come back to inform 🙏🏼
Lovely soap, as usual. I'm curious why you say not to omit the citric acid in this recipe. Is it just because if I was following the recipe exactly there would be too much NaOH, or is there some other reason? Thanks.
Thank you Elaine☺️ yes that's right, it's just if you follow the recipe exactly without runnning it through a lye calculator!
So what is the citric acid for may I ask?
@@vanessaschenck9187 mostly to prevent rancidity and improve the lather☺️
Wow going to make this one, just that I don't have almond oil..
And a lovely video, personally I loved those beautiful visual of Finland.
Thank you so much Joya, glad you liked it🤗 you can replace the almond oil with more olive oil!
@@tellervo. yeah thought so
Hallo
Whats temperature of lye solution??
❤❤
Love it ❤
❤️
Hi. I hope you're doing well.
Can you please tell me what product do you use to make your soap foamy and hard?
If you cant find snow, what weight of distilled water is used? Thanks
Same amount as the snow
I have made charcoal soaps in the past and they have always had such a dark lather. About how much charcoal do you add per lb of oils? Great job I loved the video! 😊
Hi! Is it okay to add bentonite clay?
Woohoo! New favorite channel artist. 😁 Greetings from USA! (although i rather live in EU). Now i will binge your videos like Netflix.
How rual do you live from your local Cities? and how did you get into such things.!?
Aww you're so kind🤗 thank you! There's a very small town just a 10 minute drive away from the cottage, so it's not that rural🙂 I was just curious about soap making and wanted to try it!
@@tellervo. your welcome. I try to be 😋 i live in a small village also. Way better than being in a overcrowded city with many rules. If you haven't look into DIY detergent laundry / shampoo it could become of use of used on a camping trip. This gives me ideas now. 🤔😁 Hope you're having a great morning.
@@SchnelleKat i agree☺️ thank you for the ideas, have a great day!
@@tellervo. Oh we have +6 hr time change. But thank you!
Hello Molly 😊. Nice soap, Sara 🍀
Hi🐶 thank you🤗
Ah, y gracias por la formula❤☺️
Great , Waiting for the sulfur soap🎉
Do you add your essential oils to the oils before adding lye? Also did you add citric acid solution to the lye or oils? Thank you for a wonderful recipe. The soaps are beautiful
Thank you! This time i added the eo:s to the oils before the lye and the citric acid too🙂 You should never add a citric acid solution to the lye solution!
Thank you
Thank you! ❤
❤️
thank you, i love it
🤗
Are you not supposed to weight the essential oils and charcoal powder as well? In UK everything have to be weighted and made into % as well
Doesn't using oils an other inventory delete the purpose of using coke, to detox the skin?
What does it mean by cure the soap before using? How do you cure it
Thank you for your video. May I substitute distilled water with fresh aloe vera juice in your recipe?
Sure!
Hi! Love your work! Do you do the gel phase on your soaps?
Thanks😊 Yes I like to gel my soaps most of the time
This is beautiful! I'm new to soap making, so what is the difference between dissolving citric acid in water then lye verses dissolving citric acid in water, adding EO, then adding it at trace?
Thank you☺️ no difference, i just did it this way because i was using snow and couldn't dissolve the citric in it before adding the lye🙂
@@tellervo. Thank you for your reply. I enjoy watching the videos. Very calming! Do you make dish soap?
@@belindaayewoh437 thanks so much! I have once, I might make one at some point again😊
Thanks for sharing. Could you use lemon juice in lieu of citric acid or is there a difference?
Not really in the same way and not without recalculating with a lye calculator!
wat s a lye calculator?
Can I use coconut oil instead of cocoa butter?
Thanks for sharing.
wow..
If no chance to get snow what to replace it.
I just discovered your channel and this is a wonderful video! Why do you add citric acid to your soap?
Thank you so much! I have an explanation in the description box☺️
Hi how much water will you replace the snow with..
It's the same amount☺️
Thank you
Gracias me encantan todos tus videos tellervo ❤
Always so peaceful and inspiring:)
Thank you🥰
This is great. Will you please make vedio on how to get rid of Soda Ash. When we try these stuffs at home, it becomes uglier after curing. How to have a smooth consistency as yours? Please give your solution. Thanks for all your vedios.
Thank you! I think the best way to get rid of soda ash is to steam the soap🙂 it's difficult to say since i don't know the issue exactly. My soaps have a rough texture sometimes too. One thing that affects the smoothness is air bubbles. I got quite a few on these bars, you can see them better in certain lighting. To avoid air bubbles, try burbing the stick blender by tapping it and moving it around before starting to blend and also pour the soap batter against a spoon or spatula into the mold to break up air bubbles.
Thank you very much. God bless you.
What would you add/reduce if i wanted to use sodium lactate in this recipe?
You can just add it without any adjustments
My batch total is 1332g with 1TB AC but i find that my soap 'bleeds' black. Is that too much AC??
Thank you for your lovely videos..why you don’t like palm oil ?
I actually think it makes a great soap but i don't see any major benefits to using it over shea and cocoa butter so if i can avoid it i'm going to🙂
@@tellervo. thank you dear
Inspiring and relaxing watching your video.. love it
❤charcoal soap , I would like to order and have your book 📚 but not digital , I want to order the hard copy ,, thanks
So glad to hear that😊 the workbook only exists in digital format!
can you make soap from ghee i'm curious about this soap because i have dry skin
I'll look into it🙂
Why do you keep in oven ? Does it have any importance or can I leave in room temperature itself ?
I wanted it to go through gel phase. You can leave it at room temp if you want🙂
Sorry i want to know which recipe i can use to make soap home my type skin is oil skin and i have pimples please.. am from Tanzania ❤
You can try this one if you want☺️
I like more from you thanks
