Substitute GM in Liquid Soap Recipe

[melonie]

Hi Everyone,

I've found a very simple recipe for Liquid Soap that doesn't require any cooking at all. I have to say that it was a tough task to search for a simple recipe because most of the recipes I found called for a few hours of cooking. That's too complicated for me.

Anyway, this simple recipe for liquid soap calls for liquid only, and I'm wondering if I could substitute some GM for some of the water. Please let me know if this is possible. I would appreciate all your help. Also, if anybody has a simple recipe for liquid soap, would you please post it. That would be great!

Thanks,

Melonie

Can you provide me the link of that recipe?

Hi Dagmar,

Here's the link for the Liquid Soap recipe http://standeyo.com/News_Files/Soap/Rec ... hor-LIQUID

Please let me know what you think. Also, instead of Palm Oil, could I use another type of oil? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Melonie

I think this website has better instructions:

They also have both liquid soap and cream soap recipes in their formulary section and a soap calculator that works with potassium and sodium hydroxide.

Hi Dagmar,

Thanks for the link. I did come across it, but the recipe was a little complicated for me as it would require cooking the soap for 4 - 5 hours. I'm a newbie, so I'd like to start out with something easy. Thanks again for your help.

Have a great day,

Melonie

Well, making liquid soap or cream soap is fairly complicated
Maybe you could try regular bar soap (CP or HP) instead?

I have made M&P and Cold press soaps (for almost a year), but never liquid. I'd like to start making it with a simple recipe like the one I sent you. That seems fairly easy. I'm just curious if I could substitute GM for the water in the recipe. Should I try first with a small amount? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Melonie

You can add goatsmilk after the trace and before the cook.
I seriously doubt a couple of the recipes on the site you gave me...

Hi Dagmar,

I will try that. Should I do around 2 oz based on the recipe I gave you? Please keep in mind though that there's no cooking with this recipe. I wonder how that would turn out. I will try a small batch. This is going to be interesting. Thanks for all of your feedback.

I doubt the person who posted the recipe ever actually made liquid soap. It takes 4 to 5 hours to cook the soap into the paste. Once you get that, you dilute and neutralize.

That's right Maria.
There are many bad recipes out there, but some people just want to find out for themself
