This year I started to use EDTA in all of my soap to safeguard against DOS and to prevent soap scum build up. I usually use 5g EDTA per1000 g total batter Weight. I have city water that is not hard. We have no need for a water softener

I have noticed that all of my soap formulas are lathering up a lot of creamy lather and I suspect it is due to the EDTA as that is the only change I can identify. Is this assumption correct? Is the EDTA softening the water and causing more lathering?
