Is anyone skilled at making soap?

Question

I was wondering if you have ever used milk or a milk powder in your recipes. Does it make the soap a bit creamier? Or what have you found?

Answer 1

Using various kinds of milk in soap has a long, successful tradition. One of the best versions uses goat's milk. Recipes and info at the site below.

Personally, I think every soapmaker ought to know about the Miller Soap page, so here's a link in case you aren't already familiar with it.

Answer 2

I've made soap, but I haven't used those. Maybe you could try a small batch with it and see how it turns out. Good luck!

Answer 4

I've made one batch of goats milk soap before and it was lovely and creamy. I used fresh goats milk which went a scary bright orange and curdled, but it all mixed in fine and left me with a lovely white bar of soap once cured. Apparently if you freeze the goats milk so it's slushy before adding the lye it doesn't curdle like that.
