I am new to making soap and have never made it before. NOTE: the instructions for the brown sugar oat soap says to use hot process soap method.
If soap making terminologies are used, please explain what they are, because as stated above I have never made soap before so am not familiar with these terminologies.
I found a recipe (listed below) that is the closest to what I could find. However, I would like to use milk in place of the water; how would this effect the procedure of making the soap?
I'd also like to add a small amount of shea butter; how much would I add (recipe yields 2 lbs.) Please specify in weight not percentage; soap making recipes that list ingredients as percentages confuse me.
I found a different recipe which is perfect. (link listed below) However it says to use a 1200 gram mold; what is this in pounds/ounces; I use customary measurements, not metric that is why I ask.
