Okay, so my understanding is that including citric acid at approximately a 2% ratio can help with lather in hard water (which we most definitely have), can help reduce soap scum, and - to a lesser degree - may assist in preventing DOS... I've even got the math for replacing the lye that will be consumed, but what I don't understand is possibly the most basic part of when / how to actually add it in!?
I've read to A) dissolve it into your water and then add the lye to the water mixture and B) dissolve it in an equal weight of water then add to your oils.
Can anyone advise which of these is correct (assuming it matters at all)?
