From what I have always understood is that you never use metal bowls with the lye mixture. It doesn't interact well. I make CP goat milk soaps and never use metal bowls. Also, noticed that you did not check the temps on the oils or the lye and milk mixture. They need to be combined at certain temps.
Stainless steel is okay to use, it's aluminum and copper that will off gas noxious fumes. That's probably what you're recalling. As for temps I've always had experienced soapers say to add milk to the lye when frozen or at room temp directly with the oils. Their advice never steered me wrong. Also feel free to check out different methods as there are many, on how to deal with the temps of oils and lye mix. I'm using what could either be considered the heat transfer method or countertop hot process method. I've used it so many times I lost count and my soaps never overheated/cracked, had DOS or any other negative effects. I hope that helps 😊
This is kind of complicated. Liquid soap is an advanced level of soap, not at all like bar soap; I'm on top of that doing the heat transfer method, which is also not a beginner technique. Once you become comfortable with the process and know your recipe, temperature becomes less of an issue. The key is experimentation.
In soap making salt helps to harden, in liquid soap it helps thicken the final dilution. Salt also kills bubbles, I'm compensating for that by adding sugar, which creates them.
Here is part 2 ruclips.net/video/zPl0h6YfyAk/видео.html These soaps didn't turn out as great as I wanted, the soap started to separate after diluted. For that reason I won't be sharing this recipe as I don't want a failed product with my name on it.
All true soap is made with lye, even melt and pour, without it you have a very gross salad dressing. Lye creates the reaction called saponification, this is what turns the oils and water into soap salts and glycerin. None of the lye is left over, if properly formulated. The milk will not spoil because it too has become apart of the soap itself.
The recipe needed tweaking, it separated at dilution. I ended up using this for my family. I haven't shared recipes in the past, I may change my mind in the future Facebook has a lot of good soaping communities to learn from, happy soaping 😁
I believe you can, though I've never personally used it. It's percentage is likely different in liquid soap compared to bar soaps though. Lots of groups on facebook to help out with that

Does the temperature have to be a certain range before you mix and blend? I noticed your not really checking temperatures lol

why did you add salt and sugar to the lye mixture?

I can’t find part 2. And if you can share your recipes.

I will wait for your next try
Do you have to use lye? Is that what keeps the milk from spoiling or is it the antibacterial property of the soap?

Can you use sodium lactate instead of salt?
I believe you can, though I've never personally used it. It's percentage is likely different in liquid soap compared to bar soaps though.
Lots of groups on facebook to help out with that
