I am making goats milk soap. I add my goats milk to my oils. I am using water to dissolve my lye solution and usually I add my sodium citrate to some water that I took from the lye solution before I mixed it with lye and dissolve it in that but since I am using goats milk for the rest of the water I wasn't sure if I was able to dissolve the sodium citrate in that, or if I had to use some of the water portion for my sodium citrate solution and have even less goats milk in my soap. I want to use as much goats milk as possible, but I do not want to use it as a full water replacement because I dont like worrying about it scorching. I also wasnt sure if I could dissolve the sodium citrate in my lye water portion before I add the lye or if since its only going to be enough water to dissolve the lye that it might fall out of solution since it cant keep them both dissolved. I guess my ultimate question is.. can I dissolve my sodium citrate in my goats milk before adding to oils or will it get wonky?
