mysticglow Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I am making a batch of OMH soap and want to add GM to it. Now I'm wondering if this is ok to do. I had planned to add the ground oats and GM powder together at trace. Will this be ok? Or should I dilute it with a bit of water? I am just hesitant because of what I've read about milks and honey heating up. Suggestions?? TIA, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I made a batch of goats milk soap using powdered goats milk. I took about a 1lb or so of the melted oils and added it to my goats milk and stick blended it. Then, I added my lye to the rest of my oils and mixed with the stick blender and then added my goats milk mixture to the rest of the batch with the lye in it. I did this as cphp.

cindym Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Dilute it with some water and either stick blend it with your oils or add it at trace. Just make sure for every oz of gm you add you also have 8 ozs of water in the recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticglow Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thank you both. Cindym - so even if I add it in at trace, I should still dilute it, right? Mixing it with the oats and stiring it in at trace won't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Well it might work but it has to be diluted some how, I would dilute it , strain it, stick blend it with the oils, work with cool temps, and then add the oats later, just to be on the safe side. You want to add the oats at thick trace so they don't all sink to the bottom after you pour, if for some reason the batch traces quickly you won't have to worry about adding 2 things, one at light trace and one at thick trace. Hope this Helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
