Welcome to NaturalSkincareSchool YouTube Channel.
In today's video, I'm going to demonstrate to you how to neutralize the pH of your liquid soap with citric acid solution.
Please ensure you watch this video to the end to understand this concept ones and for all.
The video is in 2 part, the theory part and the demonstration part.

To neutralize your soap, dissolve 20g of citric acid in 80g of distilled water.

Bring the solution to a boil.
Warm your diluted soap. Keep it on the stove on low heat and add the citric acid solution, a little at a time (20 g increment).
Whisk your soap well.

To prevent cloudiness and clumpy white mess, ensure your diluted soap is on the stove with low heat, set it to low setting and whisk well while adding the citric acid.

For each addition, check the pH of your soap, it will reduce with each addition.

To make your soap stable, do not use too much citric acid solution.

Once your soap reaches the desire pH, boil the soap for 3 to 10 minutes under low heat to prevent cloudiness.
Watch the demonstration part.
Note: I didn't put the soap on the stove in the demonstration part, ensure your diluted soap is on the stove when adding the citric acid solution.
