Goats milk liquid soap recipe?

[benthere-donethat]

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
