I'm wanting to try my hand at Goat's Milk and all the recipes are a bit confusing. So I tried my hand at using the soap calculator at soapcalc.net to come up with a basic goat's milk recipe that holds shape and bubbles/lathers well if possible.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
5% Superfat
Goats Milk - 12.16 oz (38%) of Oil Weight
Lye – 4.43 oz (26.71% Concentration)
Olive Oil – 12.16 oz (38%)
Palm Oil – 12.80oz (40%)
Coconut Oil – 5.44 oz (17%)
Castor Oil – 1.6 oz (5%)
Hardness – 40
Cleansing – 12
Conditioning – 57
Bubbly – 16
Creamy – 33
Iodine – 60
INS - 147
I'm thinking my 'Bubbly' & 'Hardness' are too low?
I have Almond, Sunflower & Canola oils on hand if one of them is a better choice.
Your thoughts?
