I finally got around to trying goat milk soaps and they actually turned out successful!!! I was so nervous about scorching the milk, or getting too hot by using honey for the first time. But it all worked out and I’m so relieved. thank you to everyone on this forum for all the advice!!! You’re...

I had a similar issue with one of my earliest batches. Mine was entirely due to overheating (full water, soaped around 120, had a small amount of cinnamon EO, insulated and set on heating pad). I also had glycerine rivers throughout so I'm curious to see what your cut will look like. If I were...

I *think* I now have a favourite CP recipe after about 10 batches that I would like to now try making with goat milk for the first time. I have some questions that I *think* I know the answers to, but would love confirmation before I attempt! 1. To use goat milk would I simply replace the water...
