Solid Soap · NaOH · 100 g oil load · 5% superfat · 4 views · 0 saves
Good basic bar, hard, works well. Citric acid - Reacts with sodium hydroxide to create sodium citrate. This increases the superfat and also makes the bar last longer, especially when you have hard water. Use at up to 1% of the weight of the fats, mix with cooled lye water. Sodium Lactate or Salt - Makes the bar harder. Add to cooled lye water at a rate of 1 teaspoon per pound of oils
