Hi Ellen, my 30ish year old daughter made some soap from her breast milk today. We used your recipe and It turned out nice and creamy. She's so excited and she's looking forward to using it. I love your videos, thank you for all the work you do and sharing your knowledge 🥰
Thank you for talking about personal use breast milk soap! I think a lot of people don’t realize that some STIs and HIV can be in breast milk, and there’s not enough scientific testing to know if it’s a concern in soap. It’s amazing for mom and family, but breast milk isn’t regulated of course.
Ellen, it's like you read my mind! A friend recently requested that I make her a breastmilk soap. You made this at the perfect time! Thank you for sharing!! Love love love your channel and you ❤️ I might post a video of me making the soap, let's see 😃
Ellen, I just had a young friend ask me if I made milk soaps. I told her I make goats milk soap. She said she had some older breast milk in the freezer and wondered if I'd be interested in using it for soap. I said of course! ❤ My plan was to make a baby soap with her milk to give back to her. She and her husband have 6 children, the youngest are 1 year old and a new baby boy almost 2 months old. The milk was from her 1 yo. Thank you for sharing this. To me this makes a very intimate soap. Have a wonderful evening and God bless. Mickey 😊
Im about to pour my milk lye into my oil. Im so excited thank you for these videos youre so awesome. I cant thank you enough i have so much old milk in my freezer that didnt get used and it feels like such a waste to dump it
Beautiful 🌹A grocery store was closing and they had a can of organic baby milk that was said to be as close to mothers milk as possible. I’ll be using that for special mothers soap. What a wonderful time for this recipe! Thanks!
Man I wish I was still producing milk. I would have loved to have this for my sons when they were younger. I did get to make a mother's milk pearl necklace and braclet.
We just had a new baby in our family so was looking for a cream to make and this one popped up. Thanks for sharing! I got some milk from my niece to make milk soap but it's just been sitting in my freezer. I need to get on it for her!
Yes! Milks are a lovely addition to your soap! It's great for skin ! Ive looked through your video but can't find where u get your large & small mixing bowls... Would love to know. Always a joy watching your videos!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful and what an awesome idea using breast milk! Thank you again for your inspiring video. This is a very thoughtful gift to a new mother.❤️
Amazing i have watch so many of your videos and you started my hobby for soap making i just watched you shampoo bar video and ordered the base. I was wondering if you could do a studio tour no problem if you can't. thank you
I just love all your video, and have learn so much from you. My daughter just had a baby girl as soon as she can give me some breast milk I’ll be making this soap. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your recepie!!! (for all of them!!) You are a pleasure to watch and makes me so inspiring! I made a calamine sope some days ago and turned out as your fisrt batch 😅😅 I would try different fragance... Now I´m really inspired by this! Im breasthfeeding and I would love to make a bar for my children!! I have one question. As I can´t get palm oil from a sustancial source I was wondering if i can use the milk in subtitution of water in any soap recepie or if it is better to load your recepie in a soap calc and repleace the palm oil for other oil that gets similar caracteristics. What would you do? I wouldn´t like to wast milk (althought i know that always is a risk it happens). Thank you for your kind addvice :)
This is a special opportunity to make for someone ❤! So beautiful! Ellen, do you recommend these same oil and lye temps to soap for other methods? What do you recommend? Thank you!
Hi Ellen, I love your videos! I've been binge watching for days lol! I am new to the soap world and have started using MP soap. It's been fun so far. Think I'll give CP a whirl soon. Quick question, what's the font you used on your stamp, it's beautiful. Thanks, Mary
What do you use for the color? I have had so much trouble getting my breastmilk soap to hold color. Or maybe I need to add clay so the color holds? Am I right that you added it to the oils? I've only every put clay in with the lye or at trace.
Hi Ellen, so I ask a question to fast, you just said we can use water, so it would be be the same 23. Ozs of water. How many pounds is this. I have the tall and skinny 5 or 6 lb mold from heritage. Will this recipe be ok in my mold.
You can follow the directions on the powder milk, and use it as a full milk. Or Add a couple of Tbls of the powder to the oils and blend really well before mixing with the lye solution.
Alot of people make and market breastmilk soap, there's nothing wrong with marketing it at all. I know everyone has an opinion on it but I'd buy a soap made with breastmilk. Don't know why you wouldn't sell it because by the time it soponifies the human element of the breastmilk is gone it's just the fat properties left.
Perfectly timed video, I just welcomed my sweet baby boy and became a Mom this month : )
Wonderful! Congratulations❣️💕

Just gorgeous, Ellen!
Amazing i have watch so many of your videos and you started my hobby for soap making i just watched you shampoo bar video and ordered the base. I was wondering if you could do a studio tour no problem if you can't. thank you
I am planning on doing a studio tour at some point💕

Liquids & oils are a very different thing in soap calc. If you don't have palm oil, that would be a different recipe due to the sap value...
Excellent video so pretty!! Thank you
Thank you so much!
This is a special opportunity to make for someone ❤! So beautiful!
Ellen, do you recommend these same oil and lye temps to soap for other methods? What do you recommend?
Thank you!
I like to soap around 80 degrees, but it can go up or down and still be fine.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you again!
Hi Ellen, I love your videos! I've been binge watching for days lol! I am new to the soap world and have started using MP soap. It's been fun so far. Think I'll give CP a whirl soon. Quick question, what's the font you used on your stamp, it's beautiful. Thanks, Mary
Wonderful, you'll love CP soaping. I had that stamp made so many years ago, I can't remember what font it is??
@@EllenRuthSoap I'm excited to try, thanks for getting back to me.
Hi Ellen loved the video, if I don’t have 23ozs of goat milk can I do half milk, half water. Thanks you. As I always say you are the best
Yes👍 It will still be wonderful with half the milk.
gorgeou once again and thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😊💗
Hello Ellen, Thanks for sharing this recipe. How do I measure the other ingredients if I only have 15 oz milk?
You can make up the difference in liquid with water.
That’s amazing, didn’t know you could use breast milk to make soap❤
It makes beautiful custom soap💗
I never knew either until I started watching Ellen's channel
What do you use for the color? I have had so much trouble getting my breastmilk soap to hold color. Or maybe I need to add clay so the color holds? Am I right that you added it to the oils? I've only every put clay in with the lye or at trace.
I use skin safe micas and clays for colorants. Clays can be light in color..
Beautiful! Is the soap lather the same as your other soaps? Curious.
It does have a nice lather, but it's not quite as abundant as others.?.
Hi Ellen, so I ask a question to fast, you just said we can use water, so it would be be the same 23. Ozs of water. How many pounds is this. I have the tall and skinny 5 or 6 lb mold from heritage.
Will this recipe be ok in my mold.
I'm using the tall double skinny from Workshop Heritage, they have all the specs on their website.
Ellen if using powder milks do you add to water first if so how much lye? Then
Or do you add to the oils all at once?
When I use powder milks, I add them to the oils with the other additives.
If I used this recipe to make goat milk, can I use goat milk powder? If so, what would the amount of powder be?
You can follow the directions on the powder milk, and use it as a full milk. Or Add a couple of Tbls of the powder to the oils and blend really well before mixing with the lye solution.
Hi Ellen, how long do you cure your breast milk soaps for? I love your videos 😊
I do a full 4-6 week cure on them.
I’m very confused on soap formulas. Should I always have high oleic and low linoleic for the soap to be good?
Soap recipes are so personal, here's a video where I talk all about recipes: ua-cam.com/video/SO5n4uWEVO0/v-deo.html
Thank you so much
Love to watch you when you make your breast milk soap. So pretty!
Cheers 👍💕
Thank you Cheryl💗
Alot of people make and market breastmilk soap, there's nothing wrong with marketing it at all. I know everyone has an opinion on it but I'd buy a soap made with breastmilk. Don't know why you wouldn't sell it because by the time it soponifies the human element of the breastmilk is gone it's just the fat properties left.
Can I cut this in half?
Yes👍 I suggest running the numbers thru soap calc anytime you make a change, just to double check the lye ratio.
as she gets close to the last loaf
Beautiful soap! Can you see that the design looks like a mothers breast?
