I have no interest in ever making soap, but I am watching every single one of your videos because your video editing, soapmaking process, and methodical preciseness are deeply satisfying for my brain
Funny, I do goat milk soaps frequently and did my unscented one this morning as well, great minds. As for the white spots,I only have a limited science background, but over 50 years of soaping experience. You hit the nail on the head, higher fat content liquids (like milks) can begin to saponify early, especially if lye/milk is allowed to sit for an extended amount of time, I personally appreciate the spots, it helps identify it as homemade and honest, and I like that. Thanks so much for sharing.
A customer/friend who has skin that's very sensitive to textures said she couldn't use my goats milk soap because of the hard specks in it. I hadn't even noticed them until she told me this! I've changed the way I make this particular soap. I now add my milk into my oils instead of the lye water. I dissolve my lye in equal amount of water, then add the remaining amount of liquid as milk to the oils. I also add enough goats milk powder to the batch to make it a 100% goats milk soap. This has worked well for me and the bars don't seem to form the hard specks.
This is the way I have been doing my goats milk soap and I find I like not adding into lye. This method works very well for me, also. I also have tried Buttermilk powder instead of the Goats Milk Powder just to see how it would do and worked nicely. ☺
I clicked on your link for the recipe and decided to browse your gallery and... WOW! It's like mini works of art. You are AMAZING, and your soaps are so beautiful!!!
I've been making soap for 25 years, tried goat milk soap once, and because it turned orange and stunk, I never tried it again. Thank you for demystifying how to make this successfully!
I really like you lady. Your info, your approach, your humility and you obvious vast knowledge comes thru (I think your voice is exceeding convincing too! you sound like an introvert thinker!). consider me your fan. I've seen a handful of your videos and you are simply fantastic. thank you so much for sharing such deep insight. Very generous.

Absolutely loved this video! I have been wanting to make goat’s milk soap, knew it scorched if not iced etc, but didn’t know the amount of time and the breaks in between that it took. This video is very clear and precise. Thank you! Your soap look so creamy and silky! 😍
I learned so much (which doesn't surprise me as I always learn from and love your tutorials). Thank you for the gift of them. You inspire me and I want to thank you for doing this soap. I haven't made a plain bar yet but this simplicity is beautiful in so many ways. God bless!
Your voice is really calm and your notes are fabulous, thanx alot I really appreciate sharing your recipes and knowledge , I'm from Egypt and I have been enjoying this vedio and all of your videos as my frist language is not English but your simple way and your calm voice really helped 😊😊🤩 all my love to you
You do an excellent job of keeping the carmelization at bay. Mine is always darker - I freeze my milk, but don't cool it in an ice bath as I'm mixing in the lye, and I can now see how that really makes a difference.
It does make a difference. I used to do it that way and it would turn still turn to that bright yellow color. Two people have so generously given me the tip of adding a tablespoon of salt to the ice water to make it even colder. I am going to try that next time. Happy soaping , April! 💕
But, with all that said, this is my favorite goat soap video so far. If I didn't want to make ultra-heritage (ancient) methods, I would love this process and vid, as from a modern perspective, I admire this process. I may not know a lot about soap chemistry, but I know a LOT about food science. Thanks.

Great timing I just was thinking I am ready to do a goats milk soap so thank you very much. Beautiful looking soap and I love your video's and direction.
Bought your Goats Milk recipe, will make it tomorrow. Thank you!! Love all your soap designs, your so talented!! "God really gives us Beautiful and Wonderful Gifts" I See one of your gifts truly in your soap making!! Bless you
Hello Teri, I purchased your Basic Goat Milk soap recipe last week. Just made it today. I’m a beginner soaper and just started to make soap for friends and family. I love all your videos, your soaps are absolutely beautiful, and your artistic talent is a gift from God. So I figured, I would buy from the best! I resized your recipe to 16 oz, added .07 oz of Lavender essential oil from Brambleberry, and put the soap in the freezer. My one concern is I used too much essential oil. So I hope it turns out ok. I’m excited to see what it looks like tomorrow. Thanks again. I agree with your other fans.. you should do an ebook.
Thank you, Jeanne! Lavender is one essential oil that can be used neat or undiluted, so you are never at risk of using too much with lavender EO. You used 0.4%. That is a small amount, and you may not smell it. I would use 3-5% of your total batch weight or 0.48 oz - 0.8 oz. Of course, you need to check the IFRA amount that can be used for a wash-off product (category 9 on a Safety Data Sheet) for every EO or FO you use. EOcalc is helpful for essential oils calculations. Amounts will appear in red if they are over the accepted usage rate. Best wishes on your soapmaking journey! ~Teri www.eocalc.com/enter-your-own-blend/
Great video, I've been searching goats milk soap and found this video. Very nice. I love how you are so calming with your instructions. I bought recipe.
I use an ice bath, but I add a liitle salt to keep it colder. It takes about a half hour to make my lye solution, but the goat milk stays a creamy color so it is worth the time and effort. I make both a scented and unscented GMS, but I prefer it to be uncolored. I make mine with Olive, Coconut, Palm and Caster Oils, and Shea Butter and it’s slow to trace.
Another great video, thanks Teri. I haven’t got that much experience with cold process soap yet but this is definitely a recipe I’d been keen to try in the future, I love goats milk soap.
I love my unscented soaps. I make them with water, but 10% superfat. And I use shea butter, avocado oil and other skin loving oils :) The most simple soaps are the best! - Bright Orange Creations -
The vegan alternative would be some kind of nut milk soap like almond milk etc. I prefer to use powdered milk over fresh and I mix that with warmed Aloe Vera juice which makes it nice and creamy. I then mix that to my oils before introducing my lye solution made with more Aloe Vera juice. I don't get milk spots made from mixing lye to fresh milk. I really don't like when that happens, just my preference! Goat's milk soap is so under rated having so many benefits especially for troubled skin!! 💞
Oh, Nancy, that sounds wonderful! Do you freeze the aloe juice, or do you use the liquid with the lye? I can see why you wouldn't get spots since it is not mixed with the lye in the beginning. I like using full milk for all of the liquid, but I think I will try your way. I love using aloe in soap! Thank you, Nancy! 😘💕
Hi Teri! Thanks for this video. I’ve asked about having milk in the soap in your Facebook page and this is very helpful. As you suggested, I still have to make the basic soap (no milk) as soon as all ingredients arrive. But at some point, I’m going to try this. I’m excited. Thanks again for sharing!
Thank you so much for doing a goat milk soap video! That was one of my suggestions from your last video so I was super stoked when I saw you uploaded this on your site. Thank you so much. 😊
Perfect, Melissa! I love this recipe and I ended up making six different kinds. I usually don't design GM soap, but I will think about some swirls in the future, because this recipe was really slow-moving. Enjoy! 😊💕
Hi Teri...First I love your videos...The content and details you share are phenomenal! I just started making soap...I made my first bat of CP soap new years weekend...I have been looking for my next so as soap recipe for weeks now and I keep coming back to this video...I must have watched this video 20 times...So I decided to take the plung and ordered your recipe for this soap...hoping my turns out half as good as yours! Super excited about making this soap! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
This is exciting, Ted! I hope your batch turned out great! It is a little more complicated, and I usually would suggest having a bit of experience before attempting a milk soap because of the heating up. Since you watched the video 20 times, that should set you up for success!
I haven't made it yet...still gathering aka waiting for ingredients to arrive...but I'm freezing the goats milk this weekend and hope to make the soap next weekend...I'm really excited! I'll post some pics on the fb group once I cut it! Thanks for the encouragement!
Recently made this soap and I am really pleased with the outcome. It is the first batch of soap I have made. I followed the instructions very carefully and didn't end up with the milk scorching or any white spots. The soap is very creamy. and is vey pleasant to use. I am going to do this particular recipe a few more times to become more confident before I try and other recipes. Question: does adding fragrance to the soap cange the amount of Sodium Hydroxide that has to be added?
Good to hear! I do love that recipe. Adding fragrance doesn't change the amount of lye. For fragrance, I usually use 5-6% of the total batch weight, but check each fragrance/essential oil's IFRA maximum for wash-off product. (Sometimes they are not allowed at those rates.)
I love watching your videos. Always beautiful soap with excellent directions and rationales for what you do. I also love your recipes and purchased this one a few minutes ago.
Dear Teri, I am speechless, which is uncommon for me. LOL As always, your presentation was flawless. You are smart, articulate and thorough in your explanations. That is a gift, as many people find it difficult to articulate what they know to others. I am speechless, because I had gotten so wound up as I looked forward to your new video release. I so enjoy watching an artist at work. You are indeed an artist. But you held back a little this time. However, I always learn something new that I can add to my knowledge whenever I watch one of your videos. Today I learned about "white spots" and how to keep my lye solution from getting too hot. Beneath that calm "school teacher" demeanor, I wonder if you have an adventurous, risk taking side. A few videos back you made disc shaped bars of soap that had psychedelic colors. That was cool and wild!!! So I know "you got flava". I hope to see more of your coolness and artistic 'flava' in your next video. May God bless you and prosper you in all of your endeavors. Victor
It wasn't what you were expecting? Lol. 😊 I know, most come to me for soap design, but I have had requests for goat milk soap videos, and I needed to make it. I will get be back with my experimenting with new designs. (Just so you know, I am maybe taking a break for the holidays though. I won't have a video for Saturday. I have no voice right now. I think I am allergic to the Christmas tree.🎄) Anyway, don't forget about me. Lol. 😁 Hey, I used to jump out of airplanes. I am a risk-taker. See you next time, Victor! Have a Merry Christmas! May God bless you always! 💝
@@TreeMarieSoapworks You are still top notch. Your videos played a major role to inspire me to start making soap. I am going to give away some soap bars to my neighbors and to a few co-workers as Christmas gifts! Would you mind pointing me to a place where I can acquire some cool packaging like yours.

Hi there! I follow your youtube channel as your videos have been helpful to me and your projects inspire me. I'm new to soaping and i was hoping you could give me an answer to this question. Can i use any coconut oil to soap with in my recipe? There's two kind of coconut oil i bought. The first is an extra virgin coconut oil and it has a saturated fat content of 2 grams and is liquid at room temperature and the other is refined coconut oil with a saturated fat content of 12 grams and is also liquid at room temperature. Would i yield good results if i soap with either or is the one with the greater saturated fat content a better choice than the other???
Thank you for sharing ❤️ Great video. I have been a goat milk soap maker, for about three and a half years. I love your explanation of the process and technic for adding the milk/ lye solution to oils. Keep inspiring. Blessings.
Your soap is great and so bright! Goat 's milk soap in particular likes to turn more yellow. I' ve also made various milk soaps, but I always had the problem that the milk lye was a bit too cold in contrast to the oils. I've always frozen the whole milk in cubes for one or two days and the lye temperature was at a maximum around 53,6 Fahrenheit. And it always took ages for the cubes to melt. Is that normal?
I read steric spots come because the melting point of steric acid is high and if you combine at low temperatures it begins to solidify and form small balls of steric acid. So it seems while you don't have to be hot you don't want to mix the oils in an ice bath. Also, if you ever need to salt can make the ice bath colder. I'm very curious what the sodium lactate was for and how you chose the volume of sodium hydroxide to use.
The spots that I was talking about are not stearic spots, but you are right that the oils/butters need to be completely melted. Stearic spots look more crystalline. Sodium hydroxide is measured by weight as opposed to volume. It is calculated by using a lye calculator. With goat milk soaps that use the water replacement method, you are adding to the superfat because of the extra fats in the milk. (Around 4% of the milk is fat.) Sodium lactate is used to make the bar harder. It also helps the soap release from the mold, and it's all natural. Thanks for the tip of adding salt to ice to lower the temperature of an ice bath. I have learned that since then, and it is helpful.😊
Can you please give me the measurements? I am watching from Bangladesh. I like your video very much. Especially how much sodium lactate should be used.
I just discovered your channel and enjoy watching your videos. It’s very inspiring and educational. I learned a lot. I never used lard in my soap and wondering what kind you use.
Awesome! Thank you! Lard is good because it is high in Palmitic and Stearic Acid, which makes a hard bar without being drying. It also is known to slow trace and give lots of time to work. I use Armour Lard which can be purchased at most grocery stores. Lard is a good substitute for Palm Oil.
I really enjoy all your videos and I’ve watched this one (and your others) numerous times 😊. I have a question re: the water as percent of oils and superfat %. Is the 7% SF more in relation to the oils/butters used and not due to 20-25% water percentage of oils? Thank you!
NaOH is calculated by the oils/fats only. NaOH can not be added to the oils until it is dissolved. That is what the water is for. That water weight can vary, but it can never be less than the NaOH weight. There are 3 ways to calculate the water. As a percent of oils Water to NaOH ratio Lye concentration Superfat is a NaOH discount. Basically, if the superfat is 7%, then whatever weight of NaOH it would take to saponify 100% of the oils is discounted by 7%. So 93% of the NaOH would be a 7% superfat.
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You has been such an inspiration! I would like to buy your Goat milk recipe. As I am not using lard I wonder if it is possible to substitute the lard with a vegetarian option and recalculate it in Soap Calc?
Yayyyyyyyyyy! I was able to order this recipe! Can you tell me if it is possible to substitute palm oil for the palm kernels? I have palm oil and would like to use it before purchasing palm Kernels, if possible.
Thank you! No, they are different. If you don't have PKO, adding more coconut oil is a closer substitute. They are both high in lauric and myristic acids. (Palm oil is high in palmitic acid.) You will have to run it through a lye calculator, though.👍
That would be fine, but run it through a lye calculator because the SAP number is slightly different. (It may not change to lye weight because the difference is .002, but running any changes through soapcalc.net or another lye calculator is still a good practice. Do you know what to look for when substituting ingredients? Lard and Tallow are used for their palmitic and stearic content. So, to substitute, look for oils/butters with a similar fatty acid profile, especially the palmitic and stearic numbers. Have you seen my video on Soapcalc? ruclips.net/video/wRTWv50AY2g/видео.html
Unscented goat milk was my very first cold process soap that I made, and is one that I regularly repeat as it is definitely a favorite of my family. Probably a very similar recipe to yours, other than I use shea instead of coco butter, but I will probably do a coco butter sub soon just to try it that way....maybe even tomorrow now that I am feeling inspired! :)
Hi there! I purchased the recipe, and I'm curious about the super fat %. I wonder why it was bumped up from the standard 5% that shows up in the soap calc. Is that to account for milk fat? Thanks! Loving this resource so much!
It has nothing to do with the goat milk. It is normal to use a superfat higher than 5%. It depends on multiple factors. (Many things about soapcalc are misleading.) This recipe is higher in myristic and lauric fatty acids, which can be drying. A higher superfat helps them to be less drying. All things are good in balance.
I make predominantly goat milk soap- not super experienced, as I’m less than a year, but anyway- I always thought it made sense as milk has fat, and the lye saponifies fat... so that’s what I always assumed.
If you add some salt to the ice bath, it lowers the temp and makes it colder (it's a chemistry principle ... "freezing point depression" - ice cream makers use rock salt in their ice baths to get the ice bath sleeve colder)... I had no problem whatsoever keeping the temp of the lye-goatmilk below 70-F, without it, it shot up into the high 80's and I had a hard time keeping the temp down.
Hello Teri! I adore your videos 🌸😍 Congrats! I have a question regarding this goat milk soap: is it possible to substitute the lard with a vegetarian option? I would like to buy the recipe, but I don't know if there are also other options. Thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you! Yes, you can substitute palm oil for lard. If you want to go ahead and buy the recipe, I can send you the pdf file of the new soap.calc printout with the substitution. The lye amount may be slightly different, so it needs to be recalculated. If you purchase it, send me a message through my website and let me know that we chatted on RUclips. 💖
I love watching your videos they are so informative and I am getting excited to try some of your recipes. I am a first time soap maker and would like to make the goat’s milk soap, but prefer not to use Lard or Palm Oil , is there an alternative to these two.
Thank you, Rosie. If you are using goat milk powder, I would mix it with the oils and make the lye solution with water/distilled water ice cubes. That would simplify things quite a bit.
I'm new at making soaps, but I'm wondering if there would be a better way than using the microwave since microwaves would kill a lot of the health benefits of the ingredients you use?
It is essential to avoid excessive and prolonged heat. That can cause thermal degradation, which can happen on the stovetop or in the microwave. (I think it happens more often on the stovetop because it is easier to forget about it. Using the microwave, you can keep the temperatures relatively low by doing 15-30 bursts, stirring in between, and only heating it until it's barely but completely melted.) Microwaves use electromagnetic radiation to heat food or substances, including oils. That differs from ionizing radiation (such as X-rays or gamma rays). Microwave radiation doesn't alter the chemical structure of the molecules it interacts with, including the oils used in soapmaking. As mentioned earlier, the primary concern with microwaving oils is the potential for overheating, which can lead to the breakdown of some components in the oils. This breakdown is not caused by microwave radiation but rather by the heat generated during the process. Exposing oils to excessive heat, whether in a microwave or on a stove, can cause thermal degradation. Thermal degradation can lead to the loss of some beneficial components in the oils, such as antioxidants or fatty acids, and may result in a reduction in the oil's overall quality.

Very informative! Thanks!
Great video, as always.
Hi Teri...First I love your videos...The content and details you share are phenomenal! I just started making soap...I made my first bat of CP soap new years weekend...I have been looking for my next so as soap recipe for weeks now and I keep coming back to this video...I must have watched this video 20 times...So I decided to take the plung and ordered your recipe for this soap...hoping my turns out half as good as yours! Super excited about making this soap! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
This is exciting, Ted! I hope your batch turned out great! It is a little more complicated, and I usually would suggest having a bit of experience before attempting a milk soap because of the heating up. Since you watched the video 20 times, that should set you up for success!
I haven't made it yet...still gathering aka waiting for ingredients to arrive...but I'm freezing the goats milk this weekend and hope to make the soap next weekend...I'm really excited! I'll post some pics on the fb group once I cut it! Thanks for the encouragement!
Another beautiful soap, and you've dressed it lovely at the end, could I please ask, do you sell them like this. 🥰🇬🇧
Recently made this soap and I am really pleased with the outcome. It is the first batch of soap I have made. I followed the instructions very carefully and didn't end up with the milk scorching or any white spots. The soap is very creamy. and is vey pleasant to use. I am going to do this particular recipe a few more times to become more confident before I try and other recipes. Question: does adding fragrance to the soap cange the amount of Sodium Hydroxide that has to be added?
Good to hear! I do love that recipe. Adding fragrance doesn't change the amount of lye. For fragrance, I usually use 5-6% of the total batch weight, but check each fragrance/essential oil's IFRA maximum for wash-off product. (Sometimes they are not allowed at those rates.)
So gorgeous, but that's what I've come to expect from you :-) Thank you for another lovely video.
Thank you my friend! 😊💕
great recipe thank you
Can't wait to check out this recipe! Beautiful soap! I love how informative you are in your videos!
Thanks so much, Kelley! I'm so glad! 💝
I love watching your videos. Always beautiful soap with excellent directions and rationales for what you do. I also love your recipes and purchased this one a few minutes ago.
Thank you, Mary! Let me know if you have any questions. 💕💗
This was so calming!!
Always love watching you make soaps xx can't wait to see more 😊
Thanks so much, Tracy! Stay tuned! 😊
estoy muy agradecida por sus conocimientos. me gustaría saber las cantidades de los ingredientes utilizados. reciba un abrazo fraterno desde Colombia
Love to watch this gorgeous goat milk soap.. Thanks you
Thanks so much! 💖
You are the best !! thank you for all of your knowledge
Aww...thank you so much! You're welcome! 💝
Dear Teri, I am speechless, which is uncommon for me. LOL As always, your presentation was flawless. You are smart, articulate and thorough in your explanations. That is a gift, as many people find it difficult to articulate what they know to others. I am speechless, because I had gotten so wound up as I looked forward to your new video release. I so enjoy watching an artist at work. You are indeed an artist. But you held back a little this time. However, I always learn something new that I can add to my knowledge whenever I watch one of your videos. Today I learned about "white spots" and how to keep my lye solution from getting too hot. Beneath that calm "school teacher" demeanor, I wonder if you have an adventurous, risk taking side. A few videos back you made disc shaped bars of soap that had psychedelic colors. That was cool and wild!!! So I know "you got flava". I hope to see more of your coolness and artistic 'flava' in your next video. May God bless you and prosper you in all of your endeavors. Victor
It wasn't what you were expecting? Lol. 😊 I know, most come to me for soap design, but I have had requests for goat milk soap videos, and I needed to make it. I will get be back with my experimenting with new designs. (Just so you know, I am maybe taking a break for the holidays though. I won't have a video for Saturday. I have no voice right now. I think I am allergic to the Christmas tree.🎄) Anyway, don't forget about me. Lol. 😁 Hey, I used to jump out of airplanes. I am a risk-taker. See you next time, Victor! Have a Merry Christmas! May God bless you always! 💝
@@TreeMarieSoapworks You are still top notch. Your videos played a major role to inspire me to start making soap. I am going to give away some soap bars to my neighbors and to a few co-workers as Christmas gifts! Would you mind pointing me to a place where I can acquire some cool packaging like yours. I am so excited about giving away gift soap! 😀
@@RollandchillKeep learning, Victor. Thank you for your kind words. Your friends will love you soap. I make my boxes, but you might like these.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Earlier I missed the last part of your reply about jumping out of airplanes. You are bada$$. Lol. Get well soon. Stay warm. Have a Merry Christmas!
Very nice soap. I'l follow your steps

Hi there! I follow your youtube channel as your videos have been helpful to me and your projects inspire me. I'm new to soaping and i was hoping you could give me an answer to this question. Can i use any coconut oil to soap with in my recipe? There's two kind of coconut oil i bought. The first is an extra virgin coconut oil and it has a saturated fat content of 2 grams and is liquid at room temperature and the other is refined coconut oil with a saturated fat content of 12 grams and is also liquid at room temperature. Would i yield good results if i soap with either or is the one with the greater saturated fat content a better choice than the other???
Where did you find the little soap cutter?
@@mzelizabethcharlse823 Ù
Where is the quantities!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Seems like a hand mixer with a whisk attachment would be really great in leu of stirring.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ Great video. I have been a goat milk soap maker, for about three and a half years. I love your explanation of the process and technic for adding the milk/ lye solution to oils. Keep inspiring. Blessings.
Thank you so much, blessing to you as well! 💝
Your soap is great and so bright! Goat 's milk soap in particular likes to turn more yellow. I' ve also made various milk soaps, but I always had the problem that the milk lye was a bit too cold in contrast to the oils. I've always frozen the whole milk in cubes for one or two days and the lye temperature was at a maximum around 53,6 Fahrenheit. And it always took ages for the cubes to melt. Is that normal?
I read steric spots come because the melting point of steric acid is high and if you combine at low temperatures it begins to solidify and form small balls of steric acid. So it seems while you don't have to be hot you don't want to mix the oils in an ice bath.
Also, if you ever need to salt can make the ice bath colder. I'm very curious what the sodium lactate was for and how you chose the volume of sodium hydroxide to use.
The spots that I was talking about are not stearic spots, but you are right that the oils/butters need to be completely melted. Stearic spots look more crystalline.
Sodium hydroxide is measured by weight as opposed to volume. It is calculated by using a lye calculator. With goat milk soaps that use the water replacement method, you are adding to the superfat because of the extra fats in the milk. (Around 4% of the milk is fat.)
Sodium lactate is used to make the bar harder. It also helps the soap release from the mold, and it's all natural.
Thanks for the tip of adding salt to ice to lower the temperature of an ice bath. I have learned that since then, and it is helpful.😊
Can you please give me the measurements? I am watching from Bangladesh. I like your video very much. Especially how much sodium lactate should be used.
Always learn a lot from you.
I'm so glad; thank you, Jacque! 😊
such beautiful & perfect soaps. Well done - I've really enjoyed watching this video. C from Australia :o)
💖💕So luxurious and beautiful looking!
Thank you so much! 💖✨
I am new to soapmaking. This video was made some time ago. I am wondering if the milk in oil method has subsequently resolved the white spot issue?
I just discovered your channel and enjoy watching your videos. It’s very inspiring and educational. I learned a lot. I never used lard in my soap and wondering what kind you use.
Awesome! Thank you! Lard is good because it is high in Palmitic and Stearic Acid, which makes a hard bar without being drying. It also is known to slow trace and give lots of time to work. I use Armour Lard which can be purchased at most grocery stores. Lard is a good substitute for Palm Oil.
I really enjoy all your videos and I’ve watched this one (and your others) numerous times 😊. I have a question re: the water as percent of oils and superfat %.
Is the 7% SF more in relation to the oils/butters used and not due to 20-25% water percentage of oils? Thank you!
NaOH is calculated by the oils/fats only. NaOH can not be added to the oils until it is dissolved. That is what the water is for. That water weight can vary, but it can never be less than the NaOH weight.
There are 3 ways to calculate the water.
As a percent of oils
Water to NaOH ratio
Lye concentration
Superfat is a NaOH discount. Basically, if the superfat is 7%, then whatever weight of NaOH it would take to saponify 100% of the oils is discounted by 7%. So 93% of the NaOH would be a 7% superfat.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks thank you for the clarification! 😉
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You has been such an inspiration! I would like to buy your Goat milk recipe. As I am not using lard I wonder if it is possible to substitute the lard with a vegetarian option and recalculate it in Soap Calc?
Yayyyyyyyyyy! I was able to order this recipe! Can you tell me if it is possible to substitute palm oil for the palm kernels? I have palm oil and would like to use it before purchasing palm Kernels, if possible.
Thank you! No, they are different. If you don't have PKO, adding more coconut oil is a closer substitute. They are both high in lauric and myristic acids. (Palm oil is high in palmitic acid.) You will have to run it through a lye calculator, though.👍
@@TreeMarieSoapworks ok, thank you! Awesome to know! Do you know if substituting beef tallow for lard will make a difference?
That would be fine, but run it through a lye calculator because the SAP number is slightly different. (It may not change to lye weight because the difference is .002, but running any changes through soapcalc.net or another lye calculator is still a good practice.
Do you know what to look for when substituting ingredients? Lard and Tallow are used for their palmitic and stearic content. So, to substitute, look for oils/butters with a similar fatty acid profile, especially the palmitic and stearic numbers. Have you seen my video on Soapcalc?
ruclips.net/video/wRTWv50AY2g/видео.html
Nice perfect voice
Great video 💛
Thanks for listening! 😊💕
What would be a good substitute for the lard?
Loved this video!!! Thank you!
Unscented goat milk was my very first cold process soap that I made, and is one that I regularly repeat as it is definitely a favorite of my family. Probably a very similar recipe to yours, other than I use shea instead of coco butter, but I will probably do a coco butter sub soon just to try it that way....maybe even tomorrow now that I am feeling inspired! :)
Hi there! I purchased the recipe, and I'm curious about the super fat %. I wonder why it was bumped up from the standard 5% that shows up in the soap calc. Is that to account for milk fat? Thanks! Loving this resource so much!
It has nothing to do with the goat milk. It is normal to use a superfat higher than 5%. It depends on multiple factors. (Many things about soapcalc are misleading.) This recipe is higher in myristic and lauric fatty acids, which can be drying. A higher superfat helps them to be less drying. All things are good in balance.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Thank you!
Hello I have a question, how long it takes to dry?? Do you cover the soap??
What is the best way to make it dry??
What's the science or reasoning of not using glass for the lye/water solution? Just curious because that's what I always use.
I make predominantly goat milk soap- not super experienced, as I’m less than a year, but anyway- I always thought it made sense as milk has fat, and the lye saponifies fat... so that’s what I always assumed.
Wow! Thanks for the info and tips, after our QUARANTINE I'd like to make a soap, I would like to join your group, thanks 😍☺️😘
Thank you! You will love soap making! 💕
If you add some salt to the ice bath, it lowers the temp and makes it colder (it's a chemistry principle ... "freezing point depression" - ice cream makers use rock salt in their ice baths to get the ice bath sleeve colder)... I had no problem whatsoever keeping the temp of the lye-goatmilk below 70-F, without it, it shot up into the high 80's and I had a hard time keeping the temp down.
Thank you! Great suggestion!💕
Hi can I ask you to make a glycerine based soap base. I would be thankful for your help
Always good!
Thank you, Thoma. 😊
Kindly put how many grams of lye , goat milk , sodium lactate n coconut oil .
Thnx..from uganda
You're very welcome! 😊
Hi! Why do you use a higher water discount with your milk soap than you do your normal soaps? 20% water as percentage of oils rather than 25%?
Hello Teri! I adore your videos 🌸😍 Congrats!
I have a question regarding this goat milk soap: is it possible to substitute the lard with a vegetarian option? I would like to buy the recipe, but I don't know if there are also other options. Thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you! Yes, you can substitute palm oil for lard. If you want to go ahead and buy the recipe, I can send you the pdf file of the new soap.calc printout with the substitution. The lye amount may be slightly different, so it needs to be recalculated. If you purchase it, send me a message through my website and let me know that we chatted on RUclips. 💖
I love watching your videos they are so informative and I am getting excited to try some of your recipes. I am a first time soap maker and would like to make the goat’s milk soap, but prefer not to use Lard or Palm Oil , is there an alternative to these two.
I just bought this recipe. Can I use goat milk powder and freeze it like normal per recipe?
Thank you, Rosie. If you are using goat milk powder, I would mix it with the oils and make the lye solution with water/distilled water ice cubes. That would simplify things quite a bit.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks thanks Teri. I thought so but wanted to be sure.
Hi Terri, are you still going to make more videos, I miss seeing them!
Nice
May I Please ask where you bought the " White Silicone Mold wooden box" Aloha!
My husband made the box. The mold is from Bramble Berry.
Hi there, just found your channel. When you say lard, are you talking from the local butcher? And is any lard good? Or do you stick with leaf lard?
Thank you, I use this lard. www.walmart.com/ip/ARMOUR-Lard-in-Tub-16-oz/476700867
Beautiful
Thanks so much, Channah! 😊
Can you add a fragrance oil?
I made kokum butter with goat's milk powder. I added the goats milk to trace and I didn't have any issues.
If I make partial goat milk soap, I add it at trace with no issues. When I use goat milk as a full water replacement, I use the method shown here.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks could you also add full goat's milk to the oils as well?
I'm new at making soaps, but I'm wondering if there would be a better way than using the microwave since microwaves would kill a lot of the health benefits of the ingredients you use?
It is essential to avoid excessive and prolonged heat. That can cause thermal degradation, which can happen on the stovetop or in the microwave. (I think it happens more often on the stovetop because it is easier to forget about it. Using the microwave, you can keep the temperatures relatively low by doing 15-30 bursts, stirring in between, and only heating it until it's barely but completely melted.)
Microwaves use electromagnetic radiation to heat food or substances, including oils. That differs from ionizing radiation (such as X-rays or gamma rays). Microwave radiation doesn't alter the chemical structure of the molecules it interacts with, including the oils used in soapmaking.
As mentioned earlier, the primary concern with microwaving oils is the potential for overheating, which can lead to the breakdown of some components in the oils. This breakdown is not caused by microwave radiation but rather by the heat generated during the process.
Exposing oils to excessive heat, whether in a microwave or on a stove, can cause thermal degradation. Thermal degradation can lead to the loss of some beneficial components in the oils, such as antioxidants or fatty acids, and may result in a reduction in the oil's overall quality.
