@@vnthomas16 I’m happy to hear that! I’d love some new skincare for my face. Colostrum would also be a plus!! I grew up around cattle so I know this is the best stuff you can use!! I want to switch over to a more natural and simple routine.
Huh, this is an interesting addition to your line of products. Love the photos of your snow covered farm. So peaceful. Stay well. Happy Thanksgiving guys 😀
just a great video for a beginner, thanks ... using raw lye into frozen milk a bit scary i wonder if i add some water to lye before addinf to milk ? possible .
Excellent tutorial, thanks. Have you tried chocolate milk soap? When I was a wee lad, it was more than once that my grandma washed my tongue with soap when I uttered questionable words. I'm guessing chocolate milk soap would be the dream of every potty-mouthed kid - It would certainly beat the heck out of Lifebouy! LOL Keith-
Hmmm.... Not sure chocolate milk would improve it much! Haha! Growing up, as I was experimenting with developing my sailor’s vocabulary, I got liquid soap. Yuck!
Thats just great , now everyone can get all cleaned up and kick back and pop open a cold clover mountain dairy milk of their choice and watch all your videos . now you just need to come up with a way to mail us your milk , kenworth + reefer trailer = home delivery , problem solved tell hubby to hit the road.10-4 ,over and out lol
Sure: it is 1250g Olive Oil plus 535g Coconut oil. In separate bowl put 535g milk ice cubes, and add (with correct protective equipment) 250g lye, once melted, add that to the oil mixture. If you use a lighter scent and colored olive oil it will allow better essential oil and colors to come through.
Where can I buy that stamp? I'm in Canada, and using your recipe to make organic jersey cow milk (from our lady cow)...and love that stamp!! Says it all! Great video by the way....simple, and clean
I think I bought the stamp off of Etsy, but I stopped using it when I started wrapping the soap in paper instead of clear plastic. I liked eliminating the stamping step to save time. Also it was a little finicky with the nose part gouging out sometimes. Thanks for your feedback. I still make and sell soap locally and we use it on our farm.
I ordered some of the soap and I love it! I definitely plan on ordering more. Thanks for the video, I like being able to see the process and that it’s all done by hand. One nit picky thing, do you think for future soaps it would be possible wrap them in a wax paper or plain brown paper rather than plastic wrap? I really try hard to cut down on my plastic usage. Just a thought! If not possible, not a problem either.
Great suggestion! We tried the plastic so folks could see the cow stamp, but will probably try something different in the future. We’re glad you love the soap and really appreciate the support and comments!
Hmmmm.....not sure. Never had that happen. Make sure mixing well and getting to trace. You can warm the oils by sitting them in a sink of hot water. Sorry that happened. Good luck!
The milk does have to be frozen, to help regulate the temperature from the chemical reaction with the lye. We use raw milk for soap, but don’t think that pasteurized milk wouldn’t work... Best of luck on your first batch!
Great question! Lye in its raw form is quite caustic and can easily cause severe chemical burns. Only after it is mixed with fats/oils does the chemical reaction (saponification) that creates soap happens. It’s still very alkaline however, and requires 4-6 weeks of aging until the pH is satisfactory for use on the skin. Thanks for watching!
The sopification process renders the causticness of the lye mostly inert. There's still a bit of a base reaction... that's why it stings when it gets in your eye.
Thanks for the video! I am wondering if I could get your recipe or where to find it?
i love the dairy. enjoyed the video. keep up the good work
Thank you for the kind words!
why is the colour brown ?
btw I love lemon 🍋 u choose the best smell ❤

Glad to hear!
Thank you for sharing! I want to start- where did you get the lye and stamp? Thank you
The stamp was from Etsy, and lye from our local soap making supply store.
Excellent video!! I hope you guys are all doing great!! I love to see that not every classic tradition is fading away♥️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@vnthomas16 Do you guys sell any unscented raw milk soaps I can use for my face?
We’re actually getting ready to make an unscented batch to try!

I love my goat milk sosp from Red Mountain Goodness and I am looking forward to using my milk soap from your farm. It smells So good. ♥️
Two great soaps! The room where V makes the soap always smells so good!

We love your comment! There might be a delivery charge on top of our regular price! Haha! Thank you so much for your support and wonderful comments!
wow, do you mind telling me your ratio of milk and lye to oil mixture? What kind of oil did you use? thanks
Sure: it is 1250g Olive Oil plus 535g Coconut oil. In separate bowl put 535g milk ice cubes, and add (with correct protective equipment) 250g lye, once melted, add that to the oil mixture. If you use a lighter scent and colored olive oil it will allow better essential oil and colors to come through.
@@vnthomas16 if one was to use shea butter in conjunction, would it be 1:1 with the coconut oil. Ie, replace 250g with 250g?
Looks Good, are you selling the soap in at the farmers market? Thanks for the update 🐂
Just online through our website right now. Our Farmer’s Market closes down for the winter. Thanks for watching!

I saw the comment a few months back to email you if we wanted the recipe- I did send an email but never heard back?
Can you Plz send me recipe for this soap..
Where we can use this soap..??
Very neat. Thanks for the information.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
It's amazing and good for skin ❤️
Thanks!
Is it raw milk or pasteurized?
We’ve used both.
I ordered some of the soap and I love it! I definitely plan on ordering more. Thanks for the video, I like being able to see the process and that it’s all done by hand.

Just fantastic
Thank you!
I always thought you had to put the milk soaps in the freezer so the milk doesn't burn during the gel phase, is that right?
The milk is frozen before use. That’s how we do it.
@@vnthomas16 I know the milk is frozen, I was asking about the saponification process to prevent the milk from burning,
Was the milk/cream separated before freezing? If so, was the skim or the cream used for the soap?
Nope. Just straight, whole milk. Thanks for watching!
I follow your recipe step by step but on my soap oil settle on the top what should I do?
Hmmmm.....not sure. Never had that happen. Make sure mixing well and getting to trace. You can warm the oils by sitting them in a sink of hot water. Sorry that happened. Good luck!
Hi, I work on a dairy in Maine and would love to begin making soap using our milk. can we have your written recipe?
Hi there! Please send us an email through our website clovermountaindairy (dot) com . Thanks for watching!
is the clay just for coloring?
The clay does add coloring, but it’s also for texture and for the “slippery” feel. Plus, it’s good for the skin. Thanks for watching!
this is cool thanks for sharing
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Does the milk need to be frozen? And you make it with pasteurized milk, correct? I'm working toward making my first batch!
The milk does have to be frozen, to help regulate the temperature from the chemical reaction with the lye. We use raw milk for soap, but don’t think that pasteurized milk wouldn’t work... Best of luck on your first batch!
Impressive
Thanks!
Why is it that you protect yourself from the lye when it’s going into a soap product but then can use the soap? :)
Great question! Lye in its raw form is quite caustic and can easily cause severe chemical burns. Only after it is mixed with fats/oils does the chemical reaction (saponification) that creates soap happens. It’s still very alkaline however, and requires 4-6 weeks of aging until the pH is satisfactory for use on the skin. Thanks for watching!

That’s pretty cool I love that stamp idea great job!!
