I’m not really answering your question, just adding my own two cents lol. I have a bar of Zote in my bathroom right now! My family uses it to get tough stains out of clothes, and I use it whenever I get a really bad breakout (it’s really drying, but my oily skin deals with it 😂). In my...

I just made a batch with 220 g of lye and made a separate batch using sugar as well! I can’t wait to see the results :)

@AliOop Thank you so much! You have been so very helpful. 😭 🫶

@AliOop Oh wow! Thank you for double checking! I guess I must be doing something wrong on the other calculators.

I have always known that goat milk would add extra fat, I just didn’t think it would add enough to drastically affect the quality of the bars. I was mainly just wondering how my super fat is at 13.5% (not counting fat from the goat milk) if my lye amount is fairly close to the amount required to...

What soap calculators do you guys recommend? I plugged in my recipe to the Bramble Berry lye calculator and the soapcalc calculator and both said that for 5% super fat I need 220 g of lye, which isn’t too far off from what I am already using. Also, I did not create the recipe I am currently...

Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near experienced enough to give you an answer, but I am definitely interested in whatever replies you may receive! I have never heard of adding milk to the oils, but it seems like a fun little experiment to try! Especially since you got good results. May I ask what...

Hello again! I got the feedback from my grandmother as well as a friend of my mother’s (who is in charge of several annual fairs!) My grandmother said that she loved them (she has really sensitive skin and only uses goat milk soaps.) Her only complaint was that it only makes a really good lather...

Thank you for the reply AliOop! I gifted some soaps to my grandmother today, so I could get a second opinion on what I should work on in my recipe. My super fat level was something I thought was high, but I never actually calculated the exact number 😅. I do live in an area with high humidity...

Hello everyone! I have been soaping for about 4 months now (5 batches of soap so far.) I decided it was time to surround myself with more experienced soapers! I hope to turn soaps into a local business focused on goat milk soaps one day far in the future. I just have to figure out the perfect...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you experienced soap makers had a better recipe that what I have been using. My current recipe works alright, but the bars are a bit softer than I’d like after eight weeks of curing, and they seem to be a bit oily? Anyways, this is my current recipe! (I...
