Heat oils to 220 degrees F (102 degrees C) in crock pot. Add a few squirts of liquid potassium soap, sodium lactate (3%), sodium chloride(7%) and sorbitol(4%) to the oils. Add citric acid @ 2%, to the water. Adjust lye amounts to account for lye discount from citric acid. Mix lye with the water and add to hot oils. Use stick blender to blend through to the cream stage. Cover the soap and let heat for 3-5 minutes or until the soap is neutral. Add 12 oz of boiling water and use the immersion blender for 30 seconds to blend well. Add an additional 12 oz of boiling water and blend again. Cover and stir every 10 minutes until clear. Let soap cool. If a layer of anhydrous soap remains. add additional warm water in 2oz increments until it is dissolved.
