I loved your video! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I really enjoyed watching! 😎
Thanks for your video! I been making melt & pour & cold process soap for about 5 years now it started as a hobby & terrible problems with my own sensitive skin issues! It has become a small business for me & I use the double boiler method! I feel it allows me to have better control of how much heat I apply! I put my water in a fry skillet on low heat & my pot inside there! I can really get in there & scraped down any soap on the sides of the pan to get it all melted. I am getting several orders ready while I watch your video! You might want to try mixing Lavender & Lemon fragrance oil I think it smells Divine. Would love to see your goat milk soap process!❤Happy soaping!
Goat milk soap process I’m working out. First batch (only batch) total fail. I think I know what I did wrong and plan to try again tomorrow. As for the lavender and lemon, oh yea, I’m gonna try that. I have a lavender and lemon cookie recipe that I love. We tend to have sensitive skin and some eczema so I’m really looking forward to making soap from raw goat’s milk.
I have never made goat milk soap but I had watched a lot of you tube video’s about the process! Most seem to get it right after a few tries! I plan on trying to make a batch of cold process soap with soap shreds! I do put goat milk powder in my cold process soap batches for a more luxurious soap bar! Good luck on the soap you will get it!
@@nadiaasad7812 First decided on the kind of soap you want to make! Melt & Pour or Cold Processed! I started with a melt & pour kit that I purchased from Amazon! Lots of videos on making soap! I like Dean Wilson for melt & pour & Yellow Cottage Soapery she has one of best you tube videos for a beginner for Cold Process soap making! Also I like The Nerdy Farm Wife and Ladybug Lane Soaps. Just to name a few! I started by making soaps for my friend’s & family and often times gave them as gifts! I purchased a lot things I didn’t need & had a lot of soap I made that I didn’t sell. Now I plan more and I sell at fairs & to friends. My soaps are made to order & for holiday’s my cold process soap will be made in October but will only be a small amount! Watch videos learn the process & get a feel for it before you invest a lot money in soap making! Make sure you like it first! I hope this helps!
I am so sorry! Here it is here: www.bulkapothecary.com/goat-milk-stephenson-melt-and-pour-soap-base/ Thank you so much for watching and if you'd like to learn how to make soap the old fashioned way (with lye), stayed tune because it will be up soon.
Nice soap, but I don't use lavender buds because they rot, mold and get brown. I made this mistake as a begginer(my first soap). I love to add honey too. I also like coffee soap.
I’m a fan of coffee soap myself. But I only use dried lavender buds and I haven’t had any problems with them even discoloring. They stay fresh and pretty.
With the pour and melt, you could add some coffee fragrance oil and dried coffee grounds. Just spread the used, wet grounds on a paper towel or paper plate and let air dry before using. You may be able to add a little cocoa powder for coloring but I’ve never tried the cocoa powder with pour and melt do a little at a time to see how it does.
Hi Marian, thank you for sharing the M & P method of making soap…I am going to try it ..I am also interested in making soap for my husband and he too likes the manly scents…can you share the blend of essential oils that you use and enjoy pls…
They are always changing and evolving but if he likes patchouli, a patchouli and orange is yummy. I don’t have an exact ratio as I add orange to a cup and then scent it with patchouli until I get the smell that I find pleasant. Eucalyptus, spearmint, peppermint are all good clean minty scents too. If you go to www.eocalc.com/ you’ll find tons of blends there. I love this website and it’s a big help. Another one is pink grapefruit (80% of the scent) with a little litsea and a tad patchouli. Have fun!
This is melt and pour so as soon as it is fluid, I pour it into molds. As for the amount of fragrance, it’s best to use a fragrance calculator like this one here: www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/calculators/fragrancecalculator.aspx.
Hi!! Does the soap only harden after 24hrs?? You can’t move the molds or transport it?? Asking because I want to have a gathering and got a kit so everyone can make their own soaps and take them home. How would that work?
They’ll probably be hard enough to move after a couple of hours but they’ll need to be kept flat and moved very carefully. The molds are usually very bendy so if they all bring a little plate to put their mold on, it’ll be much easier to carry and keep safe.
I do not use a vanilla stabilizer. I have bars left from 2 years ago, because I started making goat milk soap, and they are a creamy color but I wouldn’t call them yellowed. I do wrap them in parchment for storage.
How much would you sell bar of soap for? I would love to start soap making business in the future. I have that same mold at home. This was an Awesome video!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I figure how much it cost me to make a batch, divide it by the number of bars and then multiply that by 3. Some soapers multiply by 4 but you just have to do what you think will be a good price for your area. I do it by 3 because it cost a third to make a bar, a third goes into the business, and third is my pay. I hope that helps.
Soap hardens quickly with the melt and pour method of soap making. As for making it last, keep the bar you’re using out of any direct streams of water and on a soap dish. Something that drains where the soap can dry between uses.
I didn’t when I made this video but I spray with alcohol now. But if you have your mold on a tray you can tap it on the counter to bring up and pop the bubbles.
Wonderful video, I however would choose double boiler method due to microwave radiation the pour and melt and everything that is beneficial just gets radiation and no longer has any bio material. beneficial.
I’m starting making soap, I use goat milk too my problem is not making a lot of bubbles maybe I put a lot of coconut oil and shea butter? What you can say about that,Hope you can help me
I’m not sure I understand your question but if you want to make soap using coconut oil and Shea butter rather than the melt and pour that I used in the video, you’ll have to use lye (sodium hydroxide) and you’d need to add some oils. There are lots of videos out there on how to make soap the old fashioned way. Best of luck to you!
I have a question! I use the same soap base to make my soap 😊 each time I make it, once I pour it into my loaf mold, it develops this 1/4" layer of foam on the top. I have tried several things, including rubbing alcohol, and nothing seems to help. any advice????
The whole batch? Oh gosh I don’t know. If you keep the bar in a dry place between uses and on a soap dish that drains so the soap can dry out, one bar last a good while. I’ve never really paid attention as to how long exactly.
Oh yes! I’m putting out a series now on “what to do with all of that goat milk”. Last week I made Cajeta (Mexican Carmel) and today I’m posting a video on how to make goat cheese crumble. Next Friday, Chèvre and on the 16th, goat milk soap. Totally different process than the melt and pour but I’m going to walk everyone through and make it easy.
Just stating to make melt and pour soap. Actually have not done my first batch yet. Just curious if you want to add jojoba , almond oil or fractionated coconut
I appreciate you explaining how to use a double boiler since I don't have a microwave. Thank you for an excellent video!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I use goats milk as well but I add sweet almond oil & vitamin E oil with my essential oil fragrance
And do the bars still come out nice and hard?
@@SimplyMadeHomestead yes they do
That’s awesome, thank you for sharing. I hope others will see your comment.
@@SimplyMadeHomestead this is my recipe
1lb goats milk
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp vitamin E
1 tbsp sweet almond oil
1 oz frag oil

How do you make it coffee?
With coffee grounds.
With the pour and melt, you could add some coffee fragrance oil and dried coffee grounds. Just spread the used, wet grounds on a paper towel or paper plate and let air dry before using. You may be able to add a little cocoa powder for coloring but I’ve never tried the cocoa powder with pour and melt do a little at a time to see how it does.
Yes, used, dried coffee grounds.

Brand new to soaping. Trying my first batch soon 🤞🏻
What temperature are you pouring soap at?
If not using petal would you increase the EO?

Soap hardens quickly with the melt and pour method of soap making. As for making it last, keep the bar you’re using out of any direct streams of water and on a soap dish. Something that drains where the soap can dry between uses.
How would make this with liquid milk?
I honestly don’t know, I’ve never added liquid. I’m sorry.
Do you spray with alchohol for the bubbles
I didn’t when I made this video but I spray with alcohol now. But if you have your mold on a tray you can tap it on the counter to bring up and pop the bubbles.
About how long does one bar last? I've ordered stuff to make soap and I want to do lavender soap bars.
Depends on your recipe and how long you let it cure. With this method and the melt and pour soap they last really well. You won’t be disappointed.
Wonderful video, I however would choose double boiler method due to microwave radiation the pour and melt and everything that is beneficial just gets radiation and no longer has any bio material. beneficial.
I agree, double boiler is a much better choice. So glad you enjoyed the video!

That’s a hard one. Do you use SoapCal for your recipe?
Check your pour temp
How long does that last you
The whole batch? Oh gosh I don’t know. If you keep the bar in a dry place between uses and on a soap dish that drains so the soap can dry out, one bar last a good while. I’ve never really paid attention as to how long exactly.
I’ve never paid attention to how long and I’ve also never felt like they melted away on me. I’ve been very pleased.
Mam..what is the shelf life of these soaps?
A good long time…years. The scent can fade over time but the soap will last a very long time if keep in a dry place.
I have fresh goat milk anything I need to do differently?
Oh yes! I’m putting out a series now on “what to do with all of that goat milk”. Last week I made Cajeta (Mexican Carmel) and today I’m posting a video on how to make goat cheese crumble.

2 pounds how much grams
Per a converter I googled, 907.18 grams is equal to 2 pounds.
@@SimplyMadeHomestead thank you so much
You’re very welcome.
@SimplyMadeHomestead thank you plz send me soap 🧼 recipe
Melt and pour already has the lye in it. It's still soap. I been doing Melt and Pour since 2015. You should allow it to sit 24 hours
Yes I completely agree. Thanks for watching!
Just stating to make melt and pour soap. Actually have not done my first batch yet. Just curious if you want to add jojoba , almond oil or fractionated coconut
With melt and pour I’ve kept it very basic, white with different essential oils, dried flowers, seed, and oatmeal.
I got lumps? Any suggestions?
You need to keep putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds each time and stir well until everything is melted and all lumps are gone.
Shhhhh 🤫🤫🤫 Don't mention Bulk Apothecary... I'm just getting over my habit, of wanting everything they have.. 😆😆 🤣🤣
😂 oops, sorry!
