I love your soap recipes! Your instructions are very clear and simple to follow. Can you do a “clean up” video to show us how you clean your equipment? I’m especially interested to learn how to safely clean the container/glass measuring cups that come in contact with the powdered lye and the lye mixture. Thanks so much!
sure i can do a video on that soon! i just rinse out the cups with the lye in the sink, lye is actually used to declog drains so it should be fine honestly. for everything else, i let it sit a few days until it turns to soap and doesn't have raw lye, then i wash it out by hand. :)
Thanks for the great videos!!!!!! To obtain a light scent of lemon for the soap recipe, can you suggest an amount of young living essential oil(lemon)for one batch of your cold process goat milk soap recipe?
Great videos! I am new to soap making (3 batches down) and really appreciate them! Just wondering how you can modify this recipe to eliminate the palm oil? Thank you!
Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe. If I need to leave out the beeswax, do I need to replace it with another ingredient? Thank you #HappySoaping
Hi! I'm loving your channel. Can you tell me if the goat milk can be substituted for powdered coconut milk? Also, when it calls for coconut oil, is it coconut oil 76 from soap suppliers or another kind? Thanks🙂
Maybe she didn't use gloves cause she seems to be pretty experienced with all this.. and has so much confidence in what she's doing.. anyway.. this video is really helpful thank youuu
Love this video can't wait to try! Can I substitute tallow for the palm and mango butter for the shea? Also for essential oils would it be the same amount instead of fragrance oil?
I've watched so many videos and I am confused about something. I have seen most soapmakers put their soap somewhere warm, even wrapping it like you said. How would I know when I should do that or when I should put the soap in a refrigerator?
hey it's a good question. so if you want to force gel phase, you would wrap it or put it somewhere warm (gel phase makes colors stronger and some people think it cures faster). if you have ingredients with any sugar in them, it will make the soap get hotter on its own. in that case you'll want to put it in the fridge so it doesn't OVER heat. if you leave it out at room temperature, uncovered, you run the risk of a partial gel, where it gels in the middle put not the edges. no big deal, but not prett y once its cut. so basically you want to either warm it or cool it so it does one thing or the other. unless there is sugar in recipe (including milk sugar, like in this one) because it will already heat a lot on its own.
Is this safe for babies? I’ve been trying to find non toxic baby shampoos/lotion but I can’t find a single one that doesn’t have fragrance or other bad chemicals. And te all natural ones have essential oils that babies can’t handle if they’re under a year. Any suggestions or recipes would be appreciated
I’m new to soaping and I have a question about the lye? It says 4.91 ounces but my scale doesn’t add up to that but 4.9. I appreciate any help navigating this.
Safety is important and you can do it without gloves if you dont splash it all over yourself. If you want to wear gloves then do it but dont preach to her or anyone else. I add muratic acid to my pool weekly whichis caustic abd dint run for my gloves and also dont pour it high abd vreath it in. Splitting hairs people!
Ok thanks! I will check around. If I cant find it, I will order online. Im glad this recipe calls for shea butter and beeswax. I have those ingredients, but haven’t tried them yet.
as far as i know, if you are replacing the oils in the recipe, you need to recalculate the recipe using soap calculator such as soapcalc.net ... replacing the oil will impact the amount of water & NaOH
I wanted to skip beeswax too but its important. I had trouble melting it I was wondering if melt it separately should I warm the other oils before combining I tried pouring them over my melted beeswax and the beeswax started to firm up again I wound up melting them all together anyway.
Apricot would be part of the recipe, it’s a carrier oil. Lavender would be part of the fragrance oils. You could substitute the lavender for any other essential oil for fragrance. You could probably use another liquid veg oil in place of the apricot; like jojoba, olive, etc. I’ve tried different oils in equal amounts in soap recipes
yes...i saw in kapia mera soap channel, powdered goat milk added into oil..can also add liquid goat milk into oil, where the goat milk amount is half of the total water amount
You start out this video explaining how important safety equipment is when working with lye but you yourself don't wear gloves with dealing with lye or creating your soap mixtures? :(
The soap looks great, but why aren't you wearing gloves while mixing and eventually adding your lye? You mention safety considerations, but don't wear gloves. Hmmm.
OMG, I got trauma watching you stir in that shallow container with NO gloves on!!! wear gloves please! and don't show people such bad practices online PLEASE!!! This is an accident waiting to happen
This is the best goat milk recipe I have seen, most recipes use a very small amount of goat milk and mostly water, thank you for sharing!
You can make your lye days before. Do its not hot. No need to freeze milk. Same as oils. Make ahead of time.
I like using the heat transfer method, does lye behave the same when it's cold when combined to oils? does it warm up? I never tried it like that

Question ⁉️ Why aren't you using Gloves and Long sleeves while mixing the Lye⁉️
Because she is an expert.
@@kathrynletchford5114 lmao 🤣😂So are Piolets and Scientists yet mistakes happen. Things blow up & get burned.
@@kathrynletchford5114 an expert 🤔but not a good example for her viewers 🤦♀️

Hi, thanks for your formula. Could you please recommend a substitute for palm oil? I don't use it for ethical reasons.
Beautiful soap. Thanks Katie. 💖🧼
you are welcome jill! ❤️
Thanks for the great videos!!!!!!

Just wondering how you can modify this recipe to eliminate the palm oil? Thank you!
I replace the palm oil with avocado oil and haven’t had any adverse effects, hope this helps!
@@tonychavez7161 awesome. thanks a lot!
what can I use instead of palm and the beeswax? can you do a video on how to substitute oils?
Beautiful!!
Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe. If I need to leave out the beeswax, do I need to replace it with another ingredient? Thank you #HappySoaping
I just did a goat milk soap and put frozen goat milk and lye in an ice bath to defer heat
Thanks for sharing your are amazingly talented.❤❤❤
thanks ian!
Hi! I'm loving your channel. Can you tell me if the goat milk can be substituted for powdered coconut milk? Also, when it calls for coconut oil, is it coconut oil 76 from soap suppliers or another kind? Thanks🙂
yes, 76 degree coconut oil is the most commonly used.
Maybe she didn't use gloves cause she seems to be pretty experienced with all this.. and has so much confidence in what she's doing.. anyway.. this video is really helpful thank youuu
If I have my goats milk in ounce ice cubes I can just add it to the lye right
Love this video can't wait to try! Can I substitute tallow for the palm and mango butter for the shea? Also for essential oils would it be the same amount instead of fragrance oil?
Hey! Great tutorial. Is fresh goats milk better quality than powdered goats milk?
I've watched so many videos and I am confused about something. I have seen most soapmakers put their soap somewhere warm, even wrapping it like you said. How would I know when I should do that or when I should put the soap in a refrigerator?

Do you leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours, thank you another amazing video
Yes
Thank you
how many months or weeks would this soap be good to use for ? is it degrees F or C ?
Do you count the beeswax as oil as well? That’s why the difference.
Can I do soy wax vs bees wax
do you cell your soaps
Is this safe for babies? I’ve been trying to find non toxic baby shampoos/lotion but I can’t find a single one that doesn’t have fragrance or other bad chemicals. And te all natural ones have essential oils that babies can’t handle if they’re under a year. Any suggestions or recipes would be appreciated
Can we change the goat milk for other types of milk? Like coconut milk?
You can
Are you able to substitute the beeswax for something else?
No gloves? Beautiful soap, by the way! :)
OMG! Shut up! Worry about your fingers!
Can I replace the palm oil with olive oil. And what can I use besides 1oz of beeswax?
Yes you can use any oil you wish.
I’m new to soaping and I have a question about the lye? It says 4.91 ounces but my scale doesn’t add up to that but 4.9. I appreciate any help navigating this.
I had the same problem. I did 4.9 then keeping the tare on i did the .1 separately.
Can it be made without palm oil?
Can you tell me why, when I put this recipe through the soap calculator the goat milk amount differs?
Safety is important and you can do it without gloves if you dont splash it all over yourself. If you want to wear gloves then do it but dont preach to her or anyone else. I add muratic acid to my pool weekly whichis caustic abd dint run for my gloves and also dont pour it high abd vreath it in. Splitting hairs people!
thank you! love it! i laugh to myself every time i make soap without gloves and live to tell the tale.
@@HeartsContentFarmhouse are you selling your soap
Cantwait to try this. Is powdered goats milk typically sold in grocery stores? Thanks Katie,
i looked in ours and couldn't find it but it's not a "nice" grocery store 😂. i think the bigger/ fancier types carry it
Ok thanks! I will check around. If I cant find it, I will order online. Im glad this recipe calls for shea butter and beeswax. I have those ingredients, but haven’t tried them yet.
When you put the soap in the fridge do you cover it
i don't
You have such beautiful recipes thanks for sharing them ..I love how they are so moisturizing and make a good hard bar ..God bless
thank you such much jo and yes i love bars on the harder side too!
It’s to difficult to find soap suppliers in Canada due to the high price of shipping 🥺😭
Hi! Can you add things such as oatmeal to the soap , and when would it be incorporated?
I don’t have any beeswax, would this recipe work leaving it out?
as far as i know, if you are replacing the oils in the recipe, you need to recalculate the recipe using soap calculator such as soapcalc.net ... replacing the oil will impact the amount of water & NaOH
Yes it works it just doesn’t get to hard
Where is printed recipe?
Can you use essential oils from young living to add scent to your soap? thanks 😁
When I put soap in freezer or fridge, it has water on it for days. I finally have to take a soft cloth to soak it up. Why? 11/12/2024
Why beeswax?
Is it just me or did you not wear gloves while working with lye? Thx
No gloves! 🖐
Can i skip beeswax ?
I wanted to skip beeswax too but its important. I had trouble melting it I was wondering if melt it separately should I warm the other oils before combining I tried pouring them over my melted beeswax and the beeswax started to firm up again
I wound up melting them all together anyway.

You could probably use another liquid veg oil in place of the apricot; like jojoba, olive, etc. I’ve tried different oils in equal amounts in soap recipes
Can you just add the goats milk powder without mixing it with water into your oils? Also is the beeswax added to harden the bar?
yes...i saw in kapia mera soap channel, powdered goat milk added into oil..can also add liquid goat milk into oil, where the goat milk amount is half of the total water amount
You start out this video explaining how important safety equipment is when working with lye but you yourself don't wear gloves with dealing with lye or creating your soap mixtures? :(
That's because you have to day that. I have never worn gloves or goggles, once, while making soap, because I am not a clux. 😂
The soap looks great, but why aren't you wearing gloves while mixing and eventually adding your lye? You mention safety considerations, but don't wear gloves. Hmmm.
Oh wheres your gloves when using lye
Thank you ,this looks amazing soap please can you make a gentle soap for new born using breast milk
Great tutorial but I cringe while you’re making the soap without gloves!
Especially with the lye solution in such a shallow dish. 🙁
Shocking that you don’t wear a gloves and you still talking about safety.
Like the receipe
OMG, I got trauma watching you stir in that shallow container with NO gloves on!!! wear gloves please! and don't show people such bad practices online PLEASE!!! This is an accident waiting to happen
Sorry, but the lack of gloves when handling lye solution is really setting a terrible example. I won't be watching any more of these videos.
