Goat Milk Soap Making using the Milk in Oil Method
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
How I made my lavender goat milk soap using the milk-in-oil method. I’ve shown this method using coconut milk, so I thought I’d show it with goat milk & add more details that might be helpful like SoapCalc, insulating or not, etc. Thank you so much for watching! -- Holly :)

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many components and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos.

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video! 💕 At the request of a subscriber, I included more steps than I normally do, and I also thought it would be helpful to demonstrate using SoapCalc for this method. So this video ended up being a bit longer than usual. I added timeline markers, so you can use the progress bar below the video to skip around if you like. 😊 I hope you’re all doing okay! 💕 -- Holly

Hmmm, when I make goat milk soap, I add the milk in oil, is it better to put in ice with NaOH.
I followed this method tonight and it worked perfectly! It's the first time I made goat milk soap that didn't scorch, thanks to the wealth of information you provided in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Now I'm super excited for the cut, its going to hurt leaving it wrapped in a blanket with no peaking for a day or two 😂💐
Beautiful! I've fallen in love with CP soap making. After taking a year watching several KZread soapers every night 😄, I started my journey this last summer. I've made about 25 batches so far. 😍 I breed show and dairy goats, so I only make goats milk soap. I don't use any water in my soaps, just 100% goat milk, oils & Clay's etc. Also, I only mix my colorants with oils from my batch. I mix the lye with frozen goat milk cubes. I started with a basic recipe and have added and tweaked the ingredients to what I think compliments my particular goats milk. I always strain my milk/lye solution, because my goats have such a high butterfat content in their milk, I don't want any fat globules in my soap. Plus, as a fairly new soaper, it makes me feel better about making sure no lye pieces get into my soap. I have found that I like my oils and lye solution to be at lower temperatures. My extra ingredients (i.e. clays, oat flour and sometimes TD) can speed up my trace when I soaped at higher temperatures. I enjoy working with designs and having a more fluid batter helps me work with the designs. I would say I probably soap around 85 degrees (I want to be sure my solid oils/butters stay at a good melted stage without starting to solidify). I use Coconut 76 Oil and parts will start to solidify around 76 degrees. Also, since it's a pure goat milk soap (no water added whatsoever), I do place it in the freezer overnight. I've never tried the gel/insulating technique. I've wanted to, but I chicken out (worried I would mess up a whole batch LOL). Colors still come out bright the way I've been doing it. However, I might try a tiny batch just to compare. Sorry about rambling on 😁 Really like your videos. I'm trying to get up the courage to do some videos too, since I would like to reach more people and hopefully sell my soap. But that might be awhile 😂 I am currently working on a website, etc. though! Have a great weekend! Diane

I just made this recipe. Hope it comes out good. It looked good.
Thanks for sharing your soap making. I've in my 4th year of soap making and have never added milk this way, but will definitely try it next time I add milk. Also, what a great tip on the bent cardboard topper for soap with high tops. I needed that tip! Happy Soaping. - Lollie
That's so much better than freezing the milks (or teas). Thanks very much for sharing!
Thank you for the tips! I’ve had ash issues even tho I’ve used distilled water. I thought it may be the lye, but maybe not. I’ve heard that spraying the top with isopropyl can prevent it as well. I’ll have to test these ideas out.

I love the natural colored soaps. I freeze my goat milk and take a long time to incorporate the lye. I've also frozen my milk then used an ice bath under my bowl when adding lye, to keep the white of the milk and not allow the milk to scorch or change color at all. I am going to give your milk in the oils method a try and see what that looks like. Thank you for sharing your talents.

This was the first time I have heard of this way to make Goat's Milk Soap, I have always weighed the milk and frozen it, pour the lye crystals over the top in a pyrex jug sitting in the bowl of the sink in water for safety. As it thaws the milk due to heating (chemical reaction) of the lye crystals. I watch, 'as it thaws I keep stirring till it's melted then add the oils as you did. Works for me, I do the cardboard thing then cover with a cloth and pop it in the cupboard for 24hrs. Thanks for the Video love from Australia.
I'm trying that next. Thank you
I just love your soap and how you explain in details. I wish you can make a video on transparent soap also
Great video. I’ve made it in the past with powdered GM, canned GM, supermarket GM, 1/2 water 1/2 GM. I make it now 100% farm fresh and YOU REALLY CAN feel a difference. And not all farm goat milk is the same. Some skim the fat off- you want the fat🙋♀️😘

I love your videos. I am so new at this that i have not yet made one bar of soap but am already so hypnotized by the art, thanks to channels like yours. I wanted to ask you something. Why do soap makers favour Goat's milk above any other? Why not cow, or horse, or whipping cream? I have tried to find the answer but am still at a loss to understand why!

@@farmishmomma8014sodium lactate. Basically salt. I do this too, but I use just pure sea salt. I throw it into my soap just after the oils and lye have been blended. It makes your soap harden up faster, and makes for just an all around excellent quality of soap. I notice a huge difference between my soaps with and without salt, and I strongly prefer them with.
Superb!

Lately I've been experiencing my soap batter turning thick and almost solid very quickly. I know it's not fragrance, or clays, and the only thing I can think of that is new in my regime, is that several months ago I master batched a pitcher of lye water. I'm thinking that maybe the long time sitting has something to do with it. I'm going to try soaping at 75-80 degrees. I get impatient and began, at several times, at mid-high 90's. I absolutely love the creamy look to this soap!
