Luci Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 After the great pics Rachel posted of her new milk bath packaging, I started thinking that maybe this is something I could make without a big messy screwup! At least I can get these items locally (and inexpensive). Don't have these things on hand tonight or I would give it a whirl.Questions: How do those of you that use this recipe like it? I don't want to make the trip into town without a complete list. I also saw a couple of other recipes, so I need a complete shopping list.Would this be appropriate to package in the bottles being offered in the coop that is being considered?I need something inexpensive but good for tons of secret pal gifts!Thank you for any advice!

Labgal Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I don't make a lot of this milk bath, but when I do, I package it in a polypro ziploc bag that will hold 8 ounces. I punch a hole in the top of the bag and attach a wooden scoop to it using colored curling ribbon. Slap a label on the bag and voila!This recipe is a great one and so simple. Have fun!!!

idahospud Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I love the 16 oz milk bottles for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 You can also add a bit of cocoa powder to it..and scent it chocolate.I made some strawberry last night and yum I wanted to mix it in some water or milk and drink it. Those milk bottles are great..I think later I am going to switch over to those..once I see how things in my booth at the Market go.I love this recipe..my skin is soooo soft when I get out of the water.

Luci Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Rachel, I think your new packaging you just did for your milk bath is just great! I don't know that I would switch to the jugs from what you came up with. Might be a bit less time consuming, though. I've seen 2 versions of this--the other has epsom salts. Which do you prefer? I talked to a friend that is dying for me to mix some of this up for her! She says she is getting spoiled with all the mp soap and fbb I've been giving her to try.

pamperme Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Since I also sell bath salts it does not make sense for me to add them to my milk bath..I wanted to totally separate products..that do to totally different things.But if you want to just sell one product..yeah I say try the salts in there..just adds more benefits to what you are soaking in.

ChrisR Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Actually I have straight bath salts and my milk baths have dead sea salts in with the powdered goat's milk & coconut milk and both sell great. So go ahead and add the epsom salts, your customers will love them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just made a bag of this recipe scented with Strawberries and Champagne from SOS. It smells great! But I have tried to color it red. I first tried food coloring with no result. So I tried a red soap color and nothing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I do not color any of my milk bath. I like to leave it plain so it resembles milk in the bottles. I do however color by bath salts I make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFCILynn Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I just saw this recipe a few days ago elsewhere on the net and wanted to try it!

Ummm..that is my recipe I played around with early last year..where is it at? Interesting!As for coloring ...I tried to color it before and it did not come out well..the only thing I was able to color was the chocolate with some cocoa powder.

Luci Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks for confirming that for me, Rachel. Naturally, I was inclined to use no coloring and leave it like milk. However, when you mentioned the cocoa and chocolate scent, I thought about coloring for strawberries. I had a bottle of the strawberries and champagne on the counter, so used that for my first batch. The food coloring and soap coloring just made a couple of clumps. No big deal--I'll just keep that bag for myself! Thanks for posting this recipe! Finally found something easy for me that I didn't have to order ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 If you do a search on the net, you will find alot of recipes using these ingredients, and some also with added salts to them. There are lots of recipes out there for Milk Bath and Milk Bath Salts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of recipes out there for Milk Bath and Milk Bath Salts.Yep there are alot..I was just wondering if it was the exact recipe..it can be altered to preference but you know I guess it would not matter anyway..there are such few ingredients and in almost equal parts that it would be easy to duplicate on a whim. ..I could see if it was a soap recipe or a very involved lotion recipe..but hey glad you are all enjoying it..I enjoy making it alot and using it. I think I might play around more with the milk salts..I have done up a few batches in the past with herbs in them..but you know those are pain to get out of the tub..need something added for a new twist..maybe milk/salts and citric acid so they fizz ...hmmm...got my mind a rolling now.I actually just got confirmation from a website called Better Budgeting..that is publishing my recipe for there frugal craft section..and they are paying me to publish it...it is only like $20 but hey that is 10# of citric acid or a bottle of Fo..Hey what about powdered bath & body dyes..I have not tried those..as I prefer the liquids..but those of you that are more familiar with them..do you think those would work to color them?

Luci Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks for that suggestion, Rachel. I think I'm just gonna stick with the natural white. I got in on the milk bottle coop, but I've been trying to find somewhere to get a few before then so I can make up some secret sister and secret pal things that I need right away. So far, I have done a lot of searches, but I haven't found a place where I can buy just a few without paying over double in added fees for small orders, energy surcharges, and shipping.Congratulations on being asked to formally publish your recipe. It's a winner and so simple, yet wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approx. how much is 15-20 drops?Chrishmmmm...don't know..I use the pipettes and I uped it to 1.5ML(I think 45 drops equals 1ML) per batch(for some lighter scents)..so if you have something with ML's on it..You gotta get yourself some droppers. I could not live without mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemakingkid Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Ohmigoodness,You are a genius!!! I do have the pipettes. Why I didn't consider those drop makers is beyond me. Hmmm, can we say collectively, senior blonde moment.:undecided :undecided :embarasse Chrishmmmm...don't know..I use the pipettes and I uped it to 1.5ML(I think 45 drops equals 1ML) per batch(for some lighter scents)..so if you have something with ML's on it..You gotta get yourself some droppers.
