I am following DeeAnn's wisdom: "Citric acid and Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) make Sodium citrate in soap.
Typical dosage: 10 g citric acid for every 1,000 g oils (1% ppo). Range 0.1% to 3%.
10 g citric acid neutralizes 6.24 g NaOH
So my amount of oils is 1407 g
Thus my amount of CA to use (1%) is 14.07 g (round to 14g)
This will neutralize 8.78 g of NaOH ((14.07/10)*6.24)
My recipe at 5% lye discount calls for 126.74 g NaOH
Thus I will need 126.74 + 8.78 g = 135.52 g NaOH to accommodate the citric acid (round to 135 g)
Does that look right? First time and I dont want to do it wrong.
