Kitn Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I like to use heavy cream so would use a yogurt with fat in it. It does add to the soap. I want to try using a greek yogurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetsCandles Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I actually use a local company's yogurt. Full fat stuff. I haven't tried the low calorie stuff, but it may have sorbitol or other ingredients like that in it, just as a warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Kitn, I started off using the full fat Greek Yogurt. But, I think I got a creamier bar with the regular full fat yogurts. YMMV. I would be interested in your results.Quiet, what you are wanting are the milk fats that are in the full fat yogurts. You can find these at Walmart generally, Great Value Plain Yogurt (Walmart's brand), Dannon All Natural Plain Yogurt, Stoneyfield Organic Plain Yogurt (a bit pricey) and Oikos Plain Greek Yogurt. None of the containers will have the words low-fat or no-fat on them. You might have to do a little digging to find them.Like Janet said, the low-fat yogurts may have other ingredients in them that you might not want in your soap. Or, cause it to misbehave.Janet, I wish I could find a local dairy to get some of the good stuff like that. I know there is a large Farmers Market a bit south the city but I don't know what they have. I'm sure there is something in the area, just need to find them!

Kitn Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I will keep you posted PMM.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetsCandles Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 You can make your own yogurt, too. It's actually fairly easy to do, and you get even more control over what is in it. I seem to remember that you can use goats milk in it, too, instead of cows milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
