Ever wanted to make cold process milk soap but not sure how? In this video, I use almond milk instead of water in the soap recipe, but you can use this technique for any kind of milk soap.

MY MOULD
My mould size 19.3cm long x 8.6cm wide x 6cm high (soap only filled to 2.5cm high) - it made 3 soap bars about 135g each.
You can buy my mould online in the USA (it's a pencil box - they have a lid too)
