hey ppl, im new to this forum and also soap making(melt and pour method)... i have a question to all of u... while i add fresh milk to my soap, will the soap be fresh for a long time??? because the milk itself stays for 2-3 days after opening and added to soap, will the soap be fresh and clwan enough to use or the saop will be spoil over time... how long will or may the soap last for ???no. of days or months??? and one more question if i have to use milk powder instead of fresh milk which powder shld i use( i used nestle milk powder once which contains skimmed milk and sucrose) is sucrose ok to use in the soap...

Since nobody has answered your question l thought l would make a suggestion,try looking in the "search located" on the right hand side of the page,l had a quick look and came up with this one www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/viewtopic ... fresh+milk.
Fresh milk is not something l add to my soap l have enough trouble coping with the plain old Goatsmilk base so l can't help you with your question personally.There aren't many questions that haven't been asked and answered on this forum at some stage and the "search" is a good place to start for information.

i searched on net for the info but found no where,,, just made a bar of soap yest with fresh milk(freezed for sometime)... any idea as to how to know if the soap is good enough to use(if milk has curdled or anything)????

I never add milk to MP Soap, it will go off. I would be good to make a single bar and watch it but if it is for a present for someone I personally wouldn't make it with any kind of milk. Just buy a goatsmilk base

Please try to formulate a subject when posting. Most people brows through this forum by the titles of each post; and 'pls answer my question' won't make a lot of people interested in reading :wink:

As Pops said, please use the search function and/or brows through the M&P forum. You will find a lot of information there.
Search for 'milk' in the M&P forum:

Because MP soap base is already saponified, if you add milk to it, it will go off.
Lye is somewhat of a preservative, but in MP base you have no free lye, it's already been used to make the soap.
I have heard of people adding milk powders to their mp base, you may have more success with that.
Hopefully someone who has done it *nudge nudge Tanya* will chime in!
I know Tanya has used buttermilk powder in her mp.
