    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    Ghee is made from butter NOT milk unsalted butter. Its simple actually (because i like small words and preferably pictures) - here we go:- GHEE Cow has a baby Cow has milk to feed baby (just like us) we take cream from milk We beat the hell out of the cream and it becomes butter BUT - even if...

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    PRECISELY my thoughts. I am a huge and complete believer in "from head to tail" - i make ghee all the time - simmer butter to remove the left over milk solids and you have ghee. Take pig fat and simmer it and you get lard. *running around joining the confusion of Matt" :-)

    What advice would you give to your beginning soaping self?

    I ahve a suggestion Because i dont do the long sleeve shirt or anything but I do invest in sleeve protectors - they are light weight and only cover arms - you should be able to pick them up in the welding section of the hardware store or in any place that supplies catering stuff (like the caps...

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    I also thought he meant Ghee as in goat butter If he is talking about goat fat - then that is completely do-able

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    OMG Duck fat fried chips - OMG OMG - well now i am starving for a giant rump steak and duck fat chips. I am a carnivore and I respect everyones choice - mine is just meat. Isnt Canada known for its syrup? How about a Maple Syrup Soap? Just chucking in random ideas.

    I agree I love using Sunflower Oil and Canola Oil as the major oils - cheap and effective and incredibly conditioning for the skin - And I have the WORST skin - been a beach baby - outdoor nut - all my life - so now look like a sun damaged prune that has been dehydrated.

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    I am with her Matt Do goats give enough milk to make butter to make ghee from? What is typically Canadian? Can Canadians afford such soap ? Good concept of looking for something that is niche market but that is really narrowing your demographic isnt it? I agree with the majority of the others...

    What about 50% goat ghee and 50% oelic sunflower?

    I agree with sunflower oil - its cheap and easily available - i have used it in my first 7 batches (i have VERY clean family and neighbours) - best one so far has been sunflower oil, coconut and lard. Surprisingly nice soap. I pooped myself when my first batch hardened - was running around...

    well i started off with melt and pour - then i started adding stuff to melt and pour and then i started with just plain old coconut oil and clay CP and then i started making soap. Been selling loads to corporates and going into retail now. Anything else?

    Sorry but my one brain cell glazed over after the 2nd line. I am sure that more highly intelligent people here will appreciate what you wrote but for me I prefer to think of soap as a simple chemistry and not over think it. Plus I am not an academic - I am just a person who mixes oils with...
