Hello all.
I've read so much bout goats milk soap. But it's not available to me. So going to try with raw cows milk... Available in abundance..
After watching many videos, reading blogs n forum. This is what I've understood. Please correct me if I'm wrong!!
M going to try a full water replacement... (Currently milk is in freezer)
My understanding
Need to freeze the milk and very slowly add the Lye, keeping the milk in cold water bath. Checking once in a while the temp doesn't rise much... N keep in under 120..
If it's getting too hot wait for a while n add Lye once it cools..
Mix milk lye mix to oils n continue as usual... Bring to trace. Add fragrance.. N put it in the moulds..
Do not cover the mould. Place the mould in freezer or refrigeration to avoid gelling or burning of milk...
Unmould after 24 hrs..
I hope I've not missed anything.
So here is my recipe n few following questions
Castor oil 5%
Coconut oil 15%
Pomace olive 25%
Palm oil 50%
Lye at 33%
Sf 7%
What do u think???
Im out of essential oils n have dupes or fragrance oils of the below
Peppermint
Spearmint
Ceaderwood
Patchouli
Germanium
Ylang Ylang
Lavender
Lemongrass
. What should I use.. I mean which one smells better with milk..
So I've thought of using cavity mould and pour the following
Plain batter
With fo
With colour n fo
With Rose petal powder
With activated charcoal
Kindly review and let me know if missed something or need to improve
