goats milk and coconut milk combined?

[loopyloop]

Hi!
I want to try to make some GM and coconut milk soap (no water). Can I just combine the 2 milks (frozen cubes, I know)? Half-half? Or in what proportions - does it matter?

Also, I'd like to add some oatmeal - which is better skin-wise: oat milk or the added oats?
Many thanks yet again.

a combination of the two milks in any ratio you desire should work just fine
50:50 sounds nice. like you know, soap cool. i am sure it will turn out great.
i just did a 50:50 of goat milk and cucumber juice. cut this morning.

The soaping 101 youtube channel has a 5 milk soap recipe. Seems a bit of an overkill to me but hey, be creative! You can try anything!

I just made a Tres Leche (3 milks) soap. I used frozen cubes of almond, goat and butter milk in equal proportions. Gets really hot, really fast so make sure you have space in your freezer. I didn't and put it in the fridge, but it wasn't cold enough and it did over heat a little. You could add oats, but don't use honey it will send the temp. over the top. Mine didn't turn out creamy white like I wanted it. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I'm wondering then, can I use only the coconut milk to make the lye solution, and add the goat's milk, cold, at emulsion stage? Would that work?

Sure, that method should work just fine too. I don't think it needs to be cold when you add at emulsion, just room temp or a little lower.

Yep, that's what I meant, as opposed to "frozen".

Regarding the oats, depends whether you want a gentle exfoliant or not. If not, use the milk.

Done. With a first proper attempt at swirl, thin trace.
Added ground coffee, white clay and caffeine powder in the end. Plus cocoa for the colour.
