Teach Soap

Hi,,,, To anyone reading this post..

I'm new to making soap I have made a few batches in the last couple of weeks, with good results so far. I use the cold processing method.. I really like to make one with coconut milk., I prefer that over goats milk....

I been looking on the internet i found one but , I want to know if anyone one knows others... If anyone has made cold processing soap with coconut milk .. what was your experience with that...


Thanks for anyone who takes time to respond.......

I made one within the last few days for the first time and it's curing so maybe others know more then me. From the way I understand it when it comes to milk, people substitute water for the milk when it comes to the lye solution. Since milk is a fat though, the sodium hydroxide will try to process it, so as I understand it people freeze the milk prior and put the lye/milk in a cold bath when mixing to slow down the reaction.

As always, I'd wait for an expert to chime in. I'd give you a recipe, but as I understand you *should* be able to include milk in anything as an additive.

Any recipe can be made with coconut milk. Dissolve the lye in minimum water required. Add the rest as coconut milk as soon as you mix the lye water and oils.

I use coconut milk from time to time...use just enough water to dissolve the lye and then warm the milk and add it to my warmed oils, then add the lye water. It makes for a creamy soap,and I have found it to stay a lighter color than the goats milk.
