Thanks Jenn for the great recipe! Just a thought, you can put your jar of frozen milk cubes in an ice bath while dissolving the lye. This lowers the "burning" of your milk and it will be whiter. It's just an aesthetic thing
Hi Jenn, thank you so much for sharing. I took a 3-4 hr ( group) class last yr and wasn’t confident/ comfortable to make it on my own, but thanks to you I’m feeling so much more confident now. ☺️💕💗
I get beef suet from the grocery store and render it myself; after rendering twice it is almost odorless. When my soap is done there's no scent unless I add it. It really makes nice soap, and body butter 😉
It is the first time I watch one of your videos. I was looking for a tallow recipe. Not sure if I can trust some of the recipes I see out there. But, ones you said it had been a blessing to you, and hope it was a blessing to us… I knew you answered to a higher power 😁 so I am making it now 🥰 thank you.
From what I've read coconut oil is pretty unique. The closest substitute would be babassu. I don't know anything about that oil as I haven't used it. You would need to redo the recipe and change it out in a lye calculator to see how you need to adjust the lye amount.
If I were to add honey to the recipe, maybe around 1oz, would that affect the hardness of the soap at all? Looking to follow a recipe similar to this with a honey lemon scent
There are a few things to consider when adding honey. One is that the extra sugar along with the milk could make the batch very hot. Here is a great article on adding honey to soap. You may want to read it over and decide how much honey and when to add it! www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/adding-honey-to-cold-process-soap-tips-tricks-recipe/
Thank you for sharing your recipe. Did you use milk from your farm? How much milk and lye did you use? We have a small herd of grass fed cows that I will be rendering tallow from. Headed over to watch your video on rendering tallow.
Yes, I used milk from our cow! I would recommend straining some of the cream off the milk and using as that seems to want to burn in the sodium hydroxide. The amounts are in the video and I have a detailed blog post on this as well. theeverydayfarmhouse.com/cows-milk-and-tallow-soap-recipe-cold-process/
I have been deep diving to find a recipe that I can use for breastmilk without lye.. do you have to use lye to make soap? I'm doing this research at 28 weeks pregnant. So that I can be knowledgeable of the process well before I have my second baby. I've made lotion out of breastmilk with my son. But I want to try soap this time.
Hi!!! I have a friend that asked me if I could make soap using her breast milk. Do you think I could replace cow’s milk in your recipe for human’s milk? 🤣
I have a book on soapmaking with milk and she states that yes you can use human milk to make soap. It is higher in fat than cow's or goat's milk. It also contains a lot of sugar, and vitamins A,C, D and E. Follow the basic instructions as you would for any other milk soap. Freeze the milk first and keep the superfat below 10%
Just foun your videos and blog and subscribed. Didn't know you use music extensively in your videos, while talking, blaring when not talking. I've given up on channels like this. Sorry, unsubscribed.

Yes! I have a blog tutorial on rendering tallow and it comes out odorless! Thank you! Tallow is so good!
Love how white it came out with no titanium dioxide love it
Another great soap tutorial! Thanks Jenn!

Me gusta tu receta! Muy buena! Saludos desde Chihuahua, México 😊
Thank you for your video, I live un a farm too, I want to try it
Hello, how much milk you used for this batch?
I’m so grateful to have found your channel! 🙏🏼 could you please let me know how many ounces of the fragrance oil you added? Thank you so much ❤
I love your channel. I’m new to cold press and you explain everything very clearly. I’m going to try your shea soap first in a couple weeks.
I like HOME MADE THANKS 👍
What is a good substitute for the coconut oil? I have a life threatening allergy.
From what I've read coconut oil is pretty unique. The closest substitute would be babassu. I don't know anything about that oil as I haven't used it. You would need to redo the recipe and change it out in a lye calculator to see how you need to adjust the lye amount.
Babassu is a very skin nutrient oil but expensive. I've used it and loved it. Can't afford it often!
How much lye and milk you use
Can I use only tallow and milk?
You would have to use a lye calculator to see how much lye you would need.
If I were to add honey to the recipe, maybe around 1oz, would that affect the hardness of the soap at all? Looking to follow a recipe similar to this with a honey lemon scent

Can you substitute lard for tallow? With this resipe?
You would need to run that change through a lye calculator to make sure the lye amount doesn't change before you substitute it.
what is the measurement of frozen milk and lye?
It's all in the description and the blog post
Beautiful 😊
I'm new to this channel and soap making. What is the measurement for the milk?
10.23 oz

Usually yes, it's what gives it the ability to clean. You can use breastmilk but for this recipe you need lye.
How much essentials oil show I add?
1.5-2 oz
Can I use oatmilk instead?
yes you can
Goat milk do I use water discount for powdered goat milk?
I have never used a powdered milk and cannot advise on that
i add powdered goat milk to the oils and blend it in well then add lye water no discount
Do you sell your soap bars?
No, I don't. Thank you
Do we need to do a ph test? If so at what point does this need to be done?
thank you
I don't do a ph test
