Hello fellow soapers,
I have been asked to come up with a soap for our horses. I know that the PH of their skin is approximately 7 - 7.4. So my question is do you think that a cold process soap's PH can be lowered enough for safe use for my herd. I also have access to horse milk (we breed them) so wondered if a combination of milk into a high superfat might make it tolerable? I could also probably do a syndet bar which would be lower PH (possibly too low) but much more costly to make and we have quite a few horses. I certainly will be investing in a proper PH reader and not the strips, so anything that I do make will be tested thoroughly. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
