Notes:
Weight and heat up oils. Prepare lye solution: dissolve citric acid in distilled water in larg container, add KOH (reaction will be rapid with a lot of fumes), stir till dissolved. Pour lye solution to oils, bled for few minutes, leave for ~30 minutes, when mixture start to thicken up add alcohol, blend for few minutes, when it reaches gel phase add glycerin.
This recipe results in medium thick soap paste. To get liquid soap dissolve it in 360g of water. To add EO: weight and mix equal parts polysorbate 20 and EO (each 1% dissolved soap weight), add to dissolved soap . To add superfat: weight and mix equal parts polysorbate 80 and lightweight oil (each 1% dissolved soap weight), add to dissolved soap. If soap is cloudy you may add more polysorbate 20/80.
