I made a goats milk soap last night and I followed the directions to a T. I have a lovely creamy looking loaf of gm soap, but it seems to be floating in oil? What should I do with it :cry: I suppose I had to have a mishap somewhere along the road..

What was your recipe, your method and your temp? Did you run it through a lye calc? Did it gel? Overheated?

My recipe was my own, oo, po, co and canola with 100% gm.
These are my notes:
Sweet grass fo - 20.5 grams
Super fatted at 7% ---- (311 grams milk to 113grams of caustic soda) ms soap calc
Let Oil cool to 35 degrees (95 f)
Smash up frozen milk
Add lye to milk & Mix until all dissolved
Add lye mixture to oils and blend – pour at trace
Refrigerate after pouring into mold

When I poured into the mold it seems a bit oily than usual but it was pretty thick in trace already. It didn’t seem overly hot and it didn’t gel as I got it in the fridge really fast as well..

95 degrees (US) would be too cool for me. Is it possible that some of your oils or butters started to solidify and you got a false trace? I would leave it be for now. Since it didn't gel, I would wait at least 3 days before testing for zap. I hope the liquid isn't lye and it absorbs back in.

It did seem too cool for me, but because I had not made goats milk before I followed the Complete Idiot's guide to Making Natural Soaps instructions on the temps. I'v just taken a picture and will upload it now if i can figure it out, It all seems to be oils and i hope its not lye either.

Now I see it. I could be wrong, but that looks like lye pockets to me. If it doesn't absorb back in and your measurements were correct, I would rebatch.

I have pulled it out of the mold to inspect, took this picture and zap tested (bad idea) now i know what it feels like my tounge is still stinging :shock: I put a line through it but maybe a bit much, there is about 2 mls or so left in the bottom of the mold but it seems to be oil, what do you think, there is no holes or pockets that i can see :?: :?

Since this soap didn't gel, that's why it zaps. I think that looks like a rebatch to me. :(

:lol: silly me I didn’t read the post that you clearly stated not to zap test for 3 days! I wish I had because my tongue feels like its burnt. :lol: Thanks for your guidance. At least I found out how to use photobucket today (well sorta anyways) thanks SB..

Juice-Great tip! :)

I hope that it is oil bcse it would be a shame to rebatch it when it came out so pretty. I have noticed when I use canola oil I seem to get free oil sometimes.
Hope it works out for ya!

Juice - very handy tip indeed! Mesha, it was oil, handy to know about the canola. I'm not sure on the rebatching because it seems ok, so I'll wait and see. Thanks for the tips :wink:
