- Next up for the big lather test is coconut milk! Milks are widely known to boost lather and deliver lots of skin loving amino acids. So we're going to make some coconut milk soap to see what this big lather is all about. Also scented with coconut, vanilla, and lime, this soap smells like the beach that you aren't allowed to be on right now.
Now, usually soap makers are told to freeze milks before adding the lye to keep the temps low and keep the milk from scorching, but I'm gonna show you what happens when you don't. I didn't explode! I also didn't strain my milk solution. See what happened there! Spoiler: this is a rule you can totally break.
This coconut milk soap is available on the website for a limited time - get it here!

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

I do like how using frozen milk (or aloe) decreases lye fumes though!
Thank you for all you do. I love these science based videos.
Why doesn't the lye saponify the fats in the coconut milk? I use coconut milk as an additive often, but just stick blend it into the oils, before adding the lye solution. I am enjoying the unique content of your videos very much!
Hi! Thanks for watching! Honestly, there is a saponification process going on in the milk fat lye solutions; the fatty acids in coconut milk are among the easiest chains to saponify, so that’s why you’re seeing some crumbly bits in the solution shown in the video. Once a stick blender is taken to that and they’re broken down and distributed across the batch, it makes for a bar that has a slightly higher super fat than the original recipe calls for. So for me, the super fat I use for milk soaps is formulated to start low in the recipe (anywhere from 2-5%), to ensure that I don’t get a bar that is so super fatted the lather gets weird or the bar stays soft longer than I’d like.
Could you use coconut cream? These are gorgeous and I love the natural color.
What oil did you mix with coconut milk? Is it coconut oil too?
Where can I find the written recipe please from the UK with love
Hi! Is it normal for some oil to pool t the top of milk soaps at 24 hours in mold?
Hey! Nope, that’s not normal in any pour. If it’s like a lot of oil separated from solid soap, it’s an emulsion issue, perhaps. If it’s just pockets here and there it could be a fragrance seeping issue.
you didn't say what oils you use and how much.
Hey! I don’t always give recipes. This one was more about the unfrozen coconut milk than anything else - year 2 will have a milk soap recipe at some point!
It's fine with coconut milk but with goat milk it would STINK if it was scorched, even though the color might be nice. Stinky soap aint nice.
Ooh, interesting! I’ve never used goat’s milk. Good call!
