I am pretty new at this, and have never used lemon juice myself. I highly recommend reading this article by DeeAnna about citric acid. She explains how and when to add it. She also tells how to use lemon juice. Citric acid, Citrus juice | Soapy StuffThank you MrsZ for sharing the recipe,I have couple of questions. I normally use fresh lemon juice instead of Citric acid.. Q1 . at what stage will I add citric acid.? Can I use lemon juice instead of water ,to make the juice and lye solution. If not, then how do I add lemon juice ( I know the fact that only the juice has to be used, and not the lemon fiber)
I would like to go ahead with your receipe I.e 100 co plus 2% citric acid. Lovelygreen is using Soywax, I dont have that ingredient as of now.
Let us know how it works for you!MrsZ , thank you very much for the quick response. I'll surely try
Corrine, Would you mind sharing your recipe with the amount of citic acid to grams of coconut and washing soda? And what is washing soda? I haven’t heard of it. Thank you.I only use washing soda, mixed with my grated bar, 50/50. I do add citric acid in my bar recipe, that is supposed to help with rinsing/soap scum.
And what is washing soda? I haven’t heard of it. Thank you.
