Thank you so much for giving the recipe. the other pages I looked at were useless as they showed what they were doing without giving one the recipe so it was just a nice watch but a waste of time. thank you
I made soap using your recipe for soap with daffodils The color is actually beautiful :) I did something similar with forsythia - the color is very similar :) I'm from Poland and I follow your channel with pleasure🙂
I just used this recipe this morning and everything came out exactly how you show it on the video i cant wait for the two days to see if it looks like you'rs
@@Lovelygreens I used a different one that i thought was yours it did not turn out so great. I did put in honey from our bees instead of essential oils I put it in at trace which didn't seem to change the soap process at all
Great simple recipe, just starting to make soaps so this was very helpful. Could the method of adding goats milk to the lye be used for other recipes as well?
Sorry, no to the oil substitution. Too much sweet almond oil in soap recipes usually causes early rancidity in the bars. The lye and water amounts in this recipe are a 50/50 mix. Or are you talking about masterbatched lye solution?
It would be better for you yo use a recipe created specifically for tallow and instead sub half the water out for goat milk. Here's a tallow recipe of mine that you can use lovelygreens.com/simple-tallow-soap-recipe/
I'm curious how many batches you made before you successfully had a batch that came out like this? I tried it specifically made sure my temperatures were exactly within 9° of each other and immediately it seized up when I started blending. The lie solution was a couple of degrees cooler than the oils but they were within 5° of each other
This is a simple soap recipe, and it comes out perfectly every time for me. I suspect that you might be using a fragrance oil instead of an essential oil - they're notorious for causing seizing. One way to find out is to make this soap without fragrance and see.
@@Lovelygreens great idea! I figured I'd try it again, just to be sure it wasn't the temperature that was the issue. The bottle says that essential oils but I know it doesn't look the same as my name brand essential oils so it's possible that it's a cheaply made one or is in fact a fragrance oil. Thanks for your encouragement
I use food-grade lye supplied by a UK soapmaking company called the Soap Kitchen. Food grade lye is what you need to ensure the longest shelf life possible for your soap.
That would be a different method, but you're welcome to use this recipe for it. Make sure to mix the lye and frozen milk in an ice bath to keep it very cool.
@@Lovelygreens I am sorry, I meant what was the temperature of the oils “before” or when you were putting the milk in the oil? I saw the temperature of 103 after the milk was added but not before. In addition, can the milk be cold or at room temperature ? Thank you 😊
We've raised pygmies for a few years now and I happen to come across a great price on two dairy goats who needed a home. We are getting a gallon a day so I thought maybe I should go back to soap making. I never made goat milk soap and I was hoping this would be a way to use up some of this milk. But when you look at the ingredients to make a batch of soap, the only way to make this economically feasible is to buy everything in bulk. Lye is expensive! Nothing is inexpensive anymore ....Next thing you know you spent $400 and you're only using 2 oz of goat milk to make a batch of soap. I'm not so sure this is the way I'm going to use up my goat milk. 😂
