Has anyone used fresh lemon or lime juice in his or her soaps? I do CP. I have a ton of fresh limes and lemons from my treed and thought about trying it but I don’t know how much to put in and whether I should discount the water with the amount of juice. Maybe the lye water would eliminate the scent of the juice.Maybe the citric acid would compromise the quality of the soap in some way.

The juice will neutralize some of your lye. I wouldn't do it.
