Teach Soap

I have a surplus of breast milk and wanted to try to make soap with it. My son died and I thought it would be wonderful reminder of him once my milk is all gone. I looked for recipes for breast milk soap but didn't have the ingredients to make any of them. I always wanted to try "break the rules" soap so I make that with breast milk instead of goat milk. This stuff is FAB. It's super silky, moisturizing, no residue. I am making sure I have enough milk in the freezer to make at least 4 more batches over the coming months/year.

I'm very sorry to hear about your son My condolences. I've heard that breast milk makes a wonderful bar of soap, I'd never have thought to use it as a reminder like you have though. I think its a wonderful idea.

Goddess be with you and your son.

Sorry for your son. I admire your courage and your spirit to try to make something despite your grief. I've heard that besides soap, breast milk is an excellent skin care ingredient, so why don't you try to apply it in a facial cream, milk etc?

Im so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear baby. Most people think soap with breast milk is too weird or somehow not somthing they would want to use .I think it's great ( Id make it for me if I had milk) . You are a brave soul.

What a wonderful selfless person you are. My heart goes out to you. I wish you a beautiful child in the future.

So very sorry for your loss but what a wonderful way to honor your son!

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. What a beautiful gift you are giving to another family.
We lost our beautiful baby boy 13 years ago and I wish at the time they had known places where you could donate your breast milk to. I think it would have helped me a lot more emotionally & physically to be able to help other families at that time.

I made some breast milk castile soap recently to use on my 8 month old daughter, but it needs about 6 more months to cure, so I haven't gotten to try it out yet. I'm anxiously waiting though.
