Meridith Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I tried to change the title in my first post but it wouldn't so I am reposting this. This is my tester batch for the Peaks 2 Bi-Annual benefit. Here it is cut. I scented it with Peak's Coconut. I held back 1/2 my liquid - 8 oz and added to that 1 TBS of each: goats milk power, coconut powder and buttermilk powder. Anticipating that the soap will darken, I tried again for a blind swirl. I can see some difference in the color of the soap from the scented to the unscented portions coming out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Those turned out beautiful Meredith....how is the scent holding up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Right now it is kind of light. But I am also getting over a horrible cold. And if it is light, it could come back. At least that what I am hoping. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I don't pick up much coconut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm really embarrassed about saying I have access to goats milk!:embarasse *lol* Oh well, at least I didn't TRY to get the milk!! *lol*In this particular batch I used goat milk powder. Like regular powdered milk but from a goat. I don't usually soap with powdered milks but use liquid. My absolute favorite is fresh from the goat milk (raw). If you have access to any gm, give it a try soaping. But if you have access to raw, by all means you must soap it. Raw has all that wonderful, delicious fats still left in the milk that our soaps and skin just love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 See now you're making me feel BAD. I haven't made my soap for the swap yet. Looks groovy! Can't wait to get my hands on a bar. Me lubs milk soapies ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 This hopefully isn't the soap for the swap since I am wanting to make a soap with raw GM. Thanks for all the compliments. I couldn't wait and took a sliver of this soap in the shower yesterday morning. It lathers like a mofo and the lather is very silky and smooth feeling. The soap isn't drying at all and its only been 2 days since I made it. I am so surprised at how nice it is and yet I made it with powders. I guess what I am saying is that I am impressed with myself.
