Rice Milk for Whiter Soap?

[NativeSoap]

Does anyone here use rice milk to produce a more white soap used (substituted for 100% of water)?

I read a post on Facebook of a person doing this but wondered if anyone here has had success.

The example I read about showed them using one cup of jasmine rice to 3 cups of water. She left the rice in hot water for a few hours, then moved the mixture to a blender. Then strained the pulverized mixture through cheese cloth, etc to remove large particles.

If it works for you, can you share your experience and suggestions?

Thank you.

There are a few of us here who use rice milk (and rice) in our soaps.

I can't say that it's whiter than any of my other soaps, though.

Ok thanks. I'll try as a water replacement in an upcoming test batch just for fun.

I did use it another soap but it's anything but white. In addition to rice milk, I used matcha powder. It turned dark brown when oxidized by the lye.

Interesting, ok thanks. Won't use macha unless I want brown I guess

Have made two rice soaps and both were a light cream color. Definitely not white.

This is good to know, I use rice water for my hair with lemon, so I have loads of it. I didn't know you could use this. I am new to this and only use MP and want to know about the others CP and havnt used Lye yet either. I used Goats milk as a base recently and I have sold 1 soap lol. My best results were with glycerine but when adding Shea butter I felt the soaps where a bit greasy but as I set I am beginner and would love some help. This forum is not the easiest either for posting

If you have questions, I'd recommend asking in the Beginners Soap Making Forum. Just be clear when asking whether your question is in regards to CP or MP soap making, as they're very different.

Also, if you haven't, you can introduce yourself here~
