benthere-donethat Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hi. I'm experimenting with liquid soap and hoping to add some goats milk. The only advice I've been able to find was at Snowdrift. Does anyone have a recipe or a guideline for how much to use and what I can expect? Any help is most appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 never added milk to liquid soap.If it's not taboo to post this - I'd recommend going over to Tony's forum which has a LOT on liquid soaps.

Tara Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have used that guideline from Snowdrift and it works but is very stinky. But is a nice soap. I have also just made my paste as usual and diluted with liquid Goat's milk too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I would worry about the goat milk shelf life if you are not using it as part of the saponification process, but as the dilution liquid.I want to try to make a GM liquid soap too. I have made regular liquid soap and just find it totally drying, even if I superfat at the end by adding glycerin, etc. I hear GM liquid soap is very dark, but that's fine by me. I'm going for usability not looks. I plan on just replacing part of my water as GM and seeing how that works.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthere-donethat Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 I followed the Snowdrift guidelines, though I made up my own recipe. The soap is dark chocolate brown. It looks nice and feels good, but I wish it were a little lighter. Dark brown isn't conducive to a citrus scent... Anyway, it worked if you're not after beauty.

kidsngarden Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm figuring on scenting mine milk and honey or something bakery scented - then brown works! Vanilla, almond - even toying with dragons blood.I can't wait! I'm going to try GM liquid soap tomorrow. Today the kids and I scented the first batch of LS I made and had sequester a few weeks. It's still so drying - I think I've been spoile by all my GM bars - but hopefully GM liquid soap will be not so drying!Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthere-donethat Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 My batch was just finished a couple days ago...I've already been using it and it doesn't seem to be drying. I'll be interested to hear what you think about your gm ls. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
