Hello ma'am, I'm gonna make a baby bastille soap this week. I would like to replace the water portion with cow's milk and add goat milk powder too. Before freezing the milk, can I add the powder to the milk, mix well and then freeze?? If so, how much powder should be added per pound of oils...

Oh that's great. I'm planning to make an unscented baby soap with calendula petals. Could you please suggest how much petals to be added per pound of oils?? Will the soap have a mild calendula smell after a cure of 2 to 3 months??

Thank you so much @Zany_in_CO . I'll check it out.

Thank you for your suggestion @LynetteO. I have checked the calc but that particular blend doesn't exist😔 and I'm little hesitant to try my own blend as I don't have much soaping experience using EOs. Thank you for the wishes @soapmaker Yes I too know that they've updated their EO usage rates...
