How long do you cure your milk soaps?

[Soap Techniques]

I made some goat's milk soap and was curious if it takes longer than those with just water to get hard...

I've been curing mine for 8 weeks

Ditto on the 8 weeks. 6 weeks doesn't seem enough, 8 is just right.

I find they are perfectly usable after 4 weeks, but like any soap, longer is better

I cure mine the same amount of time I cure my regular ones, 4 weeks.

Depends on the oils you use, I think, more than if it is a milk soap or not.

Usually I soap with a water discount, but for milk soaps I plan to do 50% water/lye solution and 50% fresh milk. I assume milk soaps should be cured longer. :roll:

4 weeks here....same as if there was no GM in the soap. My soap is fine after 4 weeks.
