So I finally decided to take to making some soap out of my leftover frozen breast milk. I thought that I stirred the lye water mixture for what seemed like forever. I was using the flake lye this time instead of the granules that I've used before. Well all my milk was frozen to begin with but it did turn yellow, but didn't smell bad. I should've used the ice bath. But when I was pouring the lye water into my oils there was a couple pieces of undissolved lye :evil: :evil: I'm heart broken cause I thought i had stirred and waited long enough. I mixed and mixed and poured it anyway.
What are you experts opinion? Should I scrap all the soap? Are there going to be lye pockets? Should I just let the adults use it. I was hoping to use it for my young little toddlers and my bebe. But I will throw it all away if I need to. I did a four pound batch, I should have done the smaller batch to experiment. But I do have more breast milk. Anyway I guess it is all a learning experience and I would have to throw my milk away anyway. Just a little attached to it I guess, my last baby and all :cry:
Thank you for any advice you have for me.

If there is any undissolved lye in the soap, it could burn your skin. You could try to rebatch or chuck it and make another batch.
