You can call me ambitious all you want, but so far I've had pretty good soaping luck and would really like to try a milk soap (as my third soap!) and want y'all's advice and opinions before I start.
All I have is 2% cow's milk will it still work? I know I should freeze the milk into a slush before mixing it with the lye. Also, I've read that putting the mixing bowl in a bowl of ice will also help keep the temperatures down and help avoid scorching the milk.
I'm looking to make a facial bar this time and would like to add pureed fruits/vegetables to my recipe. I need to discount my water for the amount of puree correct?
I'm going to use organic stage 2 baby foods and have a couple of packets that I can't decide between. According to Google, all of the combination's I have are good for your skin in some way, but which would be the best (or should I maybe combine all three?): 1. Pears, Peaches, and Strawberries 2. Pear and Spinach 3. Apples, Blueberries, and Spinach
I am also considering adding raw honey to it, any tips there?
I'm wanting to try it with this triple butter recipe:
Mango Seed Butter 5%
Cocoa Butter 5%
Shea Butter 5%
Castor Oil 15%
Coconut Oil, 76 deg 20%
Crisco, old 15%
Olive Oil 35%
Thanks in advance!
