Goats milk soap

[Guest guest]

>>>>First of all, measure the goat's milk and freeze it in a glass

container.Then measure your lye and add it slowly...oh so slowly... bit by

bit to

the frozen goat's milk. Stir it as you go: the lye will melt the frozen

milk, but the

temperature will stay low.Stop whenever the outside of the glass container

starts to heat up, and

let it cool. You will end up with a liquid. I just did a small batch, so

adding the lye this way only took about ten minutes at the most, however it

was a beautiful creamy color - not

that orange.<<<<<<<<

 

Another method I read about was using 1/2 water, 1/2 goats milk. Dissolve

the lye in the water, and don't add the milk to that mix until just before

adding the whole thing to the fats to sopanify. That's one way to avoid

the orange color, according to that source. And they did mention *that

smell*, but stated it would gradually fade, then disappear altogether as the

soap cured.

 

>>>However... all this WITH GLOVES ON - you naughty girl, you! Don't

even tell me if you didn't wear goggles, but please make sure you do...

those splashes you had were the ones that can burn you...and skin is

one thing...but eyes... anyway, if you've been researching this for

three years you must have read the horror stories...? <<<<

 

Lol! Not exactly goggles...reading glasses. I have some thin vinyl

disposable gloves. Latex won't work for me, gives me a rash. And for

sure, long-sleeved shirt next time!!
