Lemon soap
by Anonymous
When making homemade soap is it bad to just directly add lemon juice?
Answer:You would have to use the lemon juice in place of some of the water and either add the lye to the water/lemon juice solution or hold the lemon juice out and add it to the soap batter once it reaches a light trace.
As I've never tried this, I'm not sure what the result will be. I suggest experimenting with a small test batch and be sure to take lots of notes.
Be aware that the lemon juice will not really give the soap a 'lemony' scent. For that you will need an essential or fragrance oil.
Good luck,
