    Special Goat milks soap for my GF!

    Honestly Jeff this is awful complicated recipe for beginner. I would rec make couple simpler batches before trying this. Such as 85 olive oil 10 coconut and 5 castor oil . Numbers are precents of oils. I dont use beeswax at all fyi.

    Citrus eo s unless they are very strong like your example above tend to have trouble sticking on thier own in my experince . So if using grapefruit I would look for 10x grapefruit eo. Good luck hope it turns out well.

    brown patches after curing

    D.O.S stands for dreaded orange spots. When it happens means oil has gone rancid in the soap olive oil sometimes tends to have issue . The Veg oil depending on whats in it could have issue also. Is there a funky smell ?
