If you can trust me, may I suggest that you forget milk as an additive and go back into soap calc and look for, milk, any bovine, milk actually has a sap rate and that is where you will find it. I have not had any issues since adding milk in my recipe. I now reference to those so called techniques as pseudo science

[@ivorycreekhandmade]

Thanks for clearing that up 😊 I did look at the ‘milk, bovine’ option in soap calc but wondered if goat’s milk fit that category. I also wondered if it was like pine tar, you pick it but it doesn’t actually change the lye amount. Now I know ❤️

@ivorycreekhandmade I wasn't interested in joining in the u tube tribe, but I was getting know where fast trying to reach out to people with high profiles. I did put up 2 examples, HOT process, to prove my point last week...money where my mouth is..a recipe is included, you also know what milk is actually adding, Laurie,myristic, etc not just a creamy lather...thank you for not dismissing me, also works with buttermilk...

@@JustNanJustSoap thank you for taking the time to watch my video and to share your experience with me 😊 it would be interesting to see the results of your recipe in a cold process soap 🤔 I think your method of adding the goats milk and the milk in oils method are the same, but you’re saying it should be added to the recipe as a saponifiable rather than an additive (essentially the methods the same but your method is accounting for and adjusting super fat, whereas the additive method doesn’t account for the extra super fat)…is that right? I wonder than if goat’s milk has a different SAP value to bovine milk? I think I read somewhere that cows milk has approx. 1.5% fat and goats milk has about 4% 🤷🏻‍♀️ no idea but definitely food for thought ☺️
