(full tutorial) In this video, I’m making cold process soap with fresh lemon juice. Using lemon juice is both fun and practical: it’s a natural source of citric acid, which helps reduce soap scum, extend shelf life of handmade soap recipes, and boost lather thanks to the natural sugars. I’ll walk you step by step through the process—squeezing and freezing the juice, preparing the oils and and lye solution and pouring into flower molds. I’ll also share why this batch took a little longer to saponify and how I tested to make sure it was successful. *If you're brand new to soap making* Please take the time to educate yourself thoroughly on the safety aspects of handmade soap making.
