Hello Karen. I make goat milk soap daily and it is my number one seller here in Missouri. I'm blessed to have a farm nearby that provides me quite a bit of fresh milk when they have to much. When I'm low, I will use goat milk powder mixed with the oils to supplement the good stuff. I haven't had to strain much. Either way the bars come out the same. I freeze the goat's milk in ice cube trays so it's easier for me to manage, keeps the smell down and doesn't scorch my milk. I've never added cocoa butter, but I may give it a try sometime. I use lard, instead of the butter. Also, easily available for me since the butcher is local. One thing I have done that has seemed to make a difference is I use canola oil and reduce my olive oil. I've had great lasting bubbles and lather and a good hard bar using this. I've also had really good luck adding in honey and even aloe juice. Good luck, your soap came out fantastic this time. I'm so glad you share your experience with all of us!
I used to make goats milk soap that way. Now I make my lye solution 1:1 water to lye and add the liquid goat milk to my oils before my lye solution. I find it is just as nice and creamy and faster and easier. Blessings to you dear Karen! Love your videos! 🐐🥛🧼
The remainder of the liquid amount. For example if your soap Calc says 200g of lye and 400g of water, you mix 200g lye into 200g of water, then put 200g of milk into the oils.
It's lovely. I add powdered goats milk to my oils, just because I like the feel. I think I need to find someone who raises goats to give this a try! Thank you, Karen!
Beautiful soap Karen… I love your creations. I do the goat milk the same way you did… freezing it and adding the lye. I use all of the water content in goat milk. There is a difference in the bar when you do all goat milk vs doing part water and part milk. All milk is a creamier, silkier lather. Best soap ever, IMO. I usually do not strain my fats out, but lately I have strained some of them, thinking that they leave little spots in my soap. I don’t think it made much difference if I strained them or not. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! 😁
I like to keep an ice bath on hand to keep the temp of the milk lye mix down during the process. I also blend my lye and oils at a very low temp (65F for lye and 75F for oils) to keep it whiter and creamier. Straining just means you have a smoother finish.
Lovely. First time I am seeing corn oil used. Newbie here happy to see some of the "common/popular priced oils successfully use. Thx so much 4 all of ur videos🌷
It looks so beautiful, clean and pure at the end. I have yet to try a milk soap so thank you heaps for sharing this. It looks much easier when i see you do it. Im going to ice cube my milk when I do though. No i dont sieve any lye solution in my soap making. 💓🤔
Hi Karen, you definitely want to keep the fat, don't sieve it :) The fat will saponify just like the other oils. Also... an ice cube tray is great for freezing your milks and easier to weigh out. Love the soap you made, and I'm interested to try corn oil now too.
FINALLY, a soap maker who uses cavity molds! Anyway. I've never made goat's milk soap but I have used raw cow's milk. My best guess is that orange goop is actually fat solids (butter) that have saponified in the lye mix. I just mash them through the sieve with a silicone spatula and once everything is blended they disappear.
Goats milk soap is great ! I only add my fresh goats milk to the oils and use distilled water as ice for my lye. I’m not brave enough to freeze it and add the lye as you’ve done. Perhaps you strained out some of the fat from the goats milk. Anyway you did a very nice job ! Cheers
I use an ice bath to keep the lye and goat milk cool. It doesn’t change colors and it doesn’t burn. I use a sift like that too but I squish the fats through to the other side and scrap off bottom of the sifter. Turns out perfect
I noticed her milk looked scorched in this video too, I’m wonder if her liquid reduction is too high at only 25% It should be just off white, ivory or white
I add my milk to the oils before the lye water....no stinky smell...just a slight caramel colour as the sugar reacts with the lye...but after saponification you will find the colour will bounce back to the usual colour of an uncoloured bar xx
Yes I make a Nine “Milk” soap that includes goat milk. It is a favorite with my customers. I have never used corn oil either. I don’t sieve my lye solution.
Hello Eden. I am trying to figure out a perfect bar of soap. I return to your soaps every time.I think that align with you the most on what you like. I like a hard bar with bubbles. I just don't have the room in my small home to make tons of soaps. I love my Castle on my face, but for your every day favorite bar of soap that you always reach for...may I ask which one you use? Oats, goats milk, or which is your favorite? Thanks!
Do you use commercial corn oil (that one would find in a supermarket) or is it another type...like cold pressed or hexane free or something from a soap supply company? I have not come across corn oil on our shelves.
@@ltconyers78 it is safe and ready to use after 48 hours of making the soap...this is called saponification. The reason we cure the soap is to allow the soap to dry out sufficiently thereby avoiding it from being to sticky or soft and it lasts longer. Olive oil rich soaps do better with a longer cure. At least 1 year for 100% Olive oil.
I use gloves that I wash after soap making and keep ready for the next round. The others work out far too expensive and as you said, too much for the landfills. They are yellow, reusable rubber gloves that one would use to wash dishes with.
You replace the water amount from the recipe, either all or part of the water. Some make a 50% water 50% lye solution and add the rest of the liquid (goats milk) at trace. I use goat milk powder instead of fresh milk and add the powder to my oils.
Hi Sweets.. I am really concerned about you cutting frozen milk like that. Rather measure out your milk and freeze as cubes. I also keep all the fats in my lye... I do not sieve... it adds to the benefits and it absorbs whilst mixing. I would say this bar is a real success....
When you add your lye to the milk too fast, Your milk breaks. Ask me how I know?! 😂 I spend what feels like ages adding lye to the frozen milk, a teaspoon at a time. It stays perfectly white that way. It doesn't smell like ammonia. I'm a hairdresser, so I smell hair bleach/ ammonia almost daily.
It has a smell, but I don’t know if it is a funny smell or not, but it can get a tinge of an ammonia smell at times. When I first cut my bars, I can smell the goat milk just a bit, but it goes away completely in a couple of days. If you overheat or scorch the milk, it can have a really bad odor that can last much longer.

It’s surprising how changing a recipe how much better,it foams . Thank you for this soaping series.

Great idea! How do you know how much milk to add to the oils? Thanks!

With goat's milk lye solution, I always give mine a blend to get rid of any bits that have started to saponify, then add the whole lot to my soap.
It's lovely. I add powdered goats milk to my oils, just because I like the feel. I think I need to find someone who raises goats to give this a try! Thank you, Karen!
This batch looks beautiful Karen. I love the way it turned out. Great video!❤️

I just love a nice simple bar of soap. Absolutely gorgeous as usual. I love your commitment for making the most beautiful soap.

This soap looks much better than the last batch and much creamier and more bubbles x
The soap is beautiful it look really creamy thank you for Sharing
Very nice lather indeed lovely Karen. Thanks for sharing.❤
Gorgeous, looks so creamy & nurturing for the skin.
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the updated recipe. Your the explanations make it so much easier to follow. Another great recipe xxx
Lovely. First time I am seeing corn oil used. Newbie here happy to see some of the "common/popular priced oils successfully use. Thx so much 4 all of ur videos🌷
Will have to give this recipe a try, the lather looks so creamy. 👌
Yes this batch looks better. Better colour and more soapy. The lady who gave you the goats milk will be very happy when you give her a sample xx
I’d love to try goats milk soap
I have two favorites with soap. Goat milk and Coconut milk. :) the lathers are wonderful and the after feeling on my skin is great.
Some of the debris is actually soap. The goat milk fat saponifies when you add the NaOH to the goatsmilk.
I absolutely love this soap! A classic look!
It looks so beautiful, clean and pure at the end. I have yet to try a milk soap so thank you heaps for sharing this. It looks much easier when i see you do it. Im going to ice cube my milk when I do though. No i dont sieve any lye solution in my soap making. 💓🤔
I have wanted to try making soap with goats milk and corn oil! Thank you for your generous sharing! I really have learned a lot from your videos.
You are such a sweet heart! Thank you for this video❤️ God bless 🤟🏼
Thank you for the update of this soap.
That mold is so pretty. I saw the Big knife

The soft solids left in the sieve are the milk fats. They should be in the finished soap as a super fat.
Hi Karen, this soap looks so creamy :)
What about 26g of fragrance 🤔 what kind of fragrance do you use for goat milk soap? Vanilla maybe 🤔 any suggestions please
Great up date thanks maybe now I will try making goats milk soap
Again a very informative video. Thank you x

I love how the lye melts the goats milk
I have reusable gloves that are chemical resistant. Love the idea of trying goats milk. Interesting video. Thank you
Oh love the Tree
This batch of soap looks so much better and much more creamier. Just be careful when you are cutting the frozen goats milk 🥛 xx

I use the sme mould when i prepare herbs organic soap bar
That banging was Riverdancing whilst ice skating 🤣
What kind of aroma does this have, since you didn't add any scent? Loved your video!

Did you add a fragrance? I have never tried goats milk
Luv luv the recipe

Thank you so much!!!

Much better recipe a lot more foam this time! x
Milk in oil method is much easier and woks great
Thank you for the up date finding hard to read people's comments due to lots of emojis
Lovely 🌹. Goats milk is so good for you. Funny how something so special could come from those mean little things, lol.
That was soo good……oh what the hack……put it in….😂
I just made my first loaf last night. How long do you wait to check the lather? I cut mine and tried it but it was just greasy. Did I mess up?
3 to 4 weeks. You shouldn't use it right away. It has to cure.

The soap I made is very sweaty, can you please tell me the reason?

I thought the goats milk had to be room temperature or the lye will burn the milk.
It’s actually the opposite, you’ll need your goat’s milk frozen or super cold before adding your sodium hydroxide.
