Customers with psoriasis and eczema swear by my goat milk soap with oatmeal and honey. One customer's dermatologist told her to find goat milk soap with oatmeal and honey for her psoriasis. It often clears the eczema completely and really helps with the itching associated with psoriasis.

I add my lye to frozen cubes of goat milk just like Ruthie does and it doesn't burn my milk at all. I want to use all milk rather than water for the wonderful qualities of the milk. I add honey to my oatmeal & honey bar though only a couple of ounces and it does cause the soap to heat up &...

Thanks for all the tips. Stinkydancer I tried sending you a PM but your box is full.

For month I made my goat milk soap with never a problem with ash. I was covering the top of the mold with saran wrap and letting it gel. No ash but dark soap so I stopped gelling and now I am getting soda ash even when I cover with saran. I switched to generously spritzing with 91% alcohol and...

very nice!

I use a stainless steel digital thermometer and it works fine.

Oh, I am so happy with how my rebatched soap turned out. I rebatched it in the crockpot and love the look of it; looks just like peanut butter fudge to me. I am posting a pic of the rebatched soap.

I am a fanatic putting my recipes thourgh a soap calc and weighing out. I think I may not have gotten it all mixed properly. It was a half batch for me in a very large container. I had a hard time even using my stik blender because it was so shallow. It is not in my crock pot slowwwwwwwwwwwwly...

I buy my lye on Amazon from Essenntial Depot. The shipping is high but the cost per ounce including shipping is the best I have found. I use fragrance oil purchased from Ebay from VA candle company. I purchase my olive oil, coconut oil, and lard from Walmart and haven't been able to beat their...

I have successfully made soap for about a year now with each batch turning our beautifully UNTIL now. I make plain jane soap and wanted to venture into color swirls but didn't want to waste my expensive colorants. I decided to try a swirl using a little instant coffee and cocoa. As you will see...

I labeled mine as "ugly soap" and sold out at half-price.

Thanks all for your tips. how much cocoa powder do you add per pound of soap? Does it effect the color of the lather?

Is there any trick to adding honey to my goat milk soap that will keep it from darkening the soap? It does lighten up some as it sets up but would like a lighter color bar. I use the honey with oatmeal.

I use olive, coconut, castor, and lard. The combination gives me a lovely hard yet moisturizing bar with rich lather. My customers love it as much as I do.

I have people purchasing my unscented goat milk soap to bath their dogs in with no complaints.

I used fresh goat milk from our very own dairy goats. I am sure it will cure out fine but I wanted it to be pretty as well.

I have made at least a dozen large batches of goat milk soap and my recipe has made great soap, until this last batch. It looked great after about 30 hours when I was ready to un-mold (usually do at 24 hours). When I turned it out of the mold the bottom of the soap was super sticky.:( When I...

Thanks to all who responded to my question regarding soap colorants. I love and appreciate the soap forum.

I have been making soap for about a year and now I am ready to try colorants in my goat milk soap. I am not sure what would work the best. I was some on Amazon (LIFE OF THE PARTY-Colors. These colors are uniquely formulated to work in melted or liquid soap base; bath salt; bath fizzie; body...

What a mess, I boiled over cheese I was making and it was a terrible mess.
