Hi! i am only 12 years old, but i am a soap maker. i just wanted to tell you that i really love your videos and your business!!! I just started making soap when i saw some of your videos!!! i ordered a lot of stuff from brambleberry, and i was very satisfied with the quality and prices!!! I also really like that you personally reply to every comment on youtube!!! Thank you so much Anne-Marie!!! :D
OMG oh how I wish you had this vid 2 years ago when I started making goats milk soap. I have never been able to color my goats milk soap and have it come out the color I put in even when using cp colors. I knew to keep the milk cold when mixing the lye but it NEVER occurred to me that the temp of my oils would effect it or to put it in the fridg. I can't wait to try this. So thank you.
I haven't made soap yet and I have watched quite a few videos and read several blogs/instructions and this video has been the best by far when it comes to goat's milk soap!
Well done video. I love the way how you introduce the information for people. you can’t stop the video for any reason because every single minute has ideas to write it down .
I am new to soap making and I have learned many wonderful things from watching your videos. Stay true to your self I love the enthusiasm it is inspiring for my to want to learn more
this girl does a wonderful job. she is thorough and that is important especially for those that are just learning. to comment on how she talks, etc; is just so petty. there are many more that give instructions perhaps you can research and find one that fits your needs and likes. to try to diminish another person's way of speaking, etc; tells alot of the negative type of person you are. i hope you can reflect.
Anne Marie, I love all of your videos soooo much! Your voice is so relaxing and you sound like a very kind and patient person! Thanks for making these great videos, I've learned so much from you.
Hi, I have never made soap but after watching a few of your videos, I am keen to give it a go. Your videos are the best, everything clear and easy to understand. Thank you. ( New Zealand.)
I love this one that I happened apon. I make goats milk soap and I have tried your Oatmeal and honey oil but it smelled more like a perfume. I would love to try this recipe soon and I love these block molds. I also leave my milk at a lower degree when making my soaps if anyone goes to high you could have what I call soap on a rope. Hope to order again soon and try these essential oils.
Hi Ellen Pouw! For this project, we used raw goat milk. Whatever goat milk you use, it helps to make a small test batch to see how it performs. =) Also, we do ship internationally! You can find out more in the Soaping All Over the World: Resources for International Soapers post: www.soapqueen.com/bramble-berry-news/soaping-world-resources-international-soapers/
+Soap Queen TV when not sure or just to be extra sure there are no lye pockets would curing goats milk or any milk soap extra long say 4 extra weeks or a curing time ok like 3 months help with the lye pockets im mean you cant see.
YAY! Thank you so very much for the new episode Anne Marie! Make sure to give all of the crew a giant hug, for being so awesome :) Great recipe. cant wait to try!
I'm allowing each group to plan their own formula. They are choosing molds, colorants, and "smelly stuff" to use, they are even free to modify my base formula (30 coco-30 palm-30 shea-10 olive oil). I am confused about the percent of lye to use. Since I am teaching chemistry I want to use stoichiometry, rather than the formula calculator to determine required amount of NaOH. I plan to tell them soap is 302 g/mole. The balanced equation shows 1 mole soap product = 1 mole NaOH reactant. What percentage lye should we use? Is it by weight or percent by number of molecules. I read somewhere 10% lye solution, but the soap queen recipes don't appear to be 10%. Can you help quick? we are definitely proceeding with calculations tomorrow. Thank You
Marc Irwin Hi there! The SAP value of each oil will vary! A saponfication (SAP) value is the amount of lye needed to completely saponify 1 gram of an oil or butter. For example, the SAP value of canola oil is .132, which means it takes .132 grams of lye to turn 1 gram of canola oil into soap. You can find a list of SAP values for our oils here: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/free-beginners-guide-to-soapmaking-common-soapmaking-oils/ I would recommend double checking your amounts in our Lye Calculator. It is set up to do the math for you, so you can be sure you have the correct amount before making soap. =) Lye Calculator: www.brambleberry.com/Pages/Lye-Calculator.aspx Also, I hope this answer gets to you in time! If you need help right away, you can give us a call at 877-627-7883 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. PST. =)
Thank you Anne Marie for the information. I know the European supplier option in The Netherlands. They have quite a lot in stock and try to expand. But it is hard to buy, (among other products) a professional soapcutter for instance over here. And indeed the custom tax is very high, hopefully the free trade agreement between USA and The Netherlands will give more possibilities in the future. Good for the economical perpective😜 Thanks for the inspiration😉🌸🌷
The only thing I exchanged was the Sodium Lactate and instead I used 1.3 oz of Beeswax. This soap was left on the fridge for that day and 1/2 which was recommended so the color won't change. Tnx
Ive watched all your videos and I love them! Theyve really inspired me in my own business. I was wondering if you could do an episode on milled soap? Ive been seeing a lot on that lately, but no really good info about it
One of the happiest mistakes I've made soaping is to soap at too high a temp. I pushed the limits and it bubbled up then separated. Was about to toss it but dumped it into a mixing bowl from the mold. Whisk whisk and put it back into the mold again. Not sure what to call it other than burnt. Burnt honey and goats milk unscented smells delicious. Dark brown color but it smells so good I'll probably make more.
Hi Anne Marie, always LOVE your cheery and informative videos! Made this soap today, and my goats milk/lye mixture got to a pretty thick trace - pudding like, so hopefully it's not too much fat. Have never tried 100% goats milk.
Hi there! That's awesome, so glad you got a chance to make the soap! Thick trace shouldn't affect the final soap, it just means the soap emulsified a little more than thin trace. You can read more about the in the All About the Trace post: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/trace/ Let me know how the soap turns out! =)
Hello, love your soap just cant wait to use the information from your video. when you set the soap in the refridgerator do you cover the soap? Thank you
hi, just love your videos, so interesting, you are so full of knowledge. thank you so much, could you use any kind of goats milk. and in another recipe, could you use tin coconut milk, thank you so much
You can use any milk you like in soap! Goat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, etc all work well. Just make sure to freeze before adding the lye to prevent scorching. =) Learn more about working with milk here: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/how-to-add-lye-to-milk-for-cold-process-soap/
Awesome!! I've been wanting to learn how to make goat milk soap. Do I need to put in the sodium lactate? Or can I just omit it from the recipe? And do I have to add more liquid since I took it out? Sorry for so many questions!!
I use raw honey from my hives in my recipe. I'm changing my recipe to add goats milk and kaolin clay. I always add my honey to my lye to avoid gelling after molding my soap. Can I add the honey to the frozen milk lye mix???? I add the clay at trace??? Thank you! Your videos and website are a true lifesaver!!!
There are several ways you can add the honey, and it really boils down to personal preference. Most soapers add honey at trace. Trace is a great time to add your clay. You could add the honey to your frozen milk lye mixture, once the lye is completely dissolved. But you may find it will raise the temperature ans slightly scorch the milk, since you're adding more sugar. But, either way will work fine =)
***** thank you very much!!! I don't want to scorch the milk. I might try it both ways in my 1lb mold. I love adding the honey, I also use beeswax at the moment, but I might cut out the beeswax in a few recipes. I have my goats milk frozen and ready to go! I'm painting the entire interior of my home, so I've been extra busy with the house. It will be nice once we refinish everything and replace all the furniture/flooring/decor.
i just watched this video..... thank so much much well explained... will love to ask if there is a substitute fr palm oil in the recipe that will still give thesame result... can palm kernel oil b used as a substitute same quantity as that of palmoil? . thanx
Hi Ann Marie, I would love to try the goat milk swirl recipe and want to know if I can substitute the palm oil for another oil, and what oil would you recommend?
Hi, thank you for posting this video, it is really helpful. I just have a quick question; how long do you leave in it the fridge for? Is it a week? Or is that how long until you can take it out of the mould? Thanks
Gah! I made this recipe once and it was fab! now im about to make it again and realize i am 2 oz short on goats milk!!! what sort of adjustments should i make? or would it still be fine to use the same amount of lye and oils? I went to lye calc. but there wasnt an option for the milk/water portion :(
pretty much all soap stings if it gets in your eye. I think you might be thinking it might burn because of the lye in this video;however, all cold process soap uses lye in the recipe. If you do it right, there will be little to no lye left in your finished product, a process called saponification happens where the fats and lye in your soap combine to become a totally different thing(soap). After a few weeks/months of curing, your soap will be mild enough to use.
Hello thank you for sharing this recipe! I've just tried it and I had a bit of a hiccup, when I poured the smaller bowls into the bigger one the soap didn't go down to the bottom like yours it just glomped on the top, so of course mine will look nothing like it should. Any idea why that would have happened? Thanks!
At what point in the hardening process can I imprint the soap with a stamp? Also, have you ever used things from nature to stamp your soap (e.g. leaf)?
Thank you so much! How long do you leave the the soap in the refrigerator? Also, do you have a book on how to use the soap calc. I tried to formulate a recipe for goat milk and aloe Vera and it was a disaster.
We recommend leaving the soap in the fridge for at least 8 hours. We do not have a book on using the soap calculator but we do have an article: www.brambleberry.com/tips-and-tricks/soap/art0008-using-lye-calculator.html
Hey I’m very new and just stumbled on to this channel. Is there a way to substitute the palm oil in this recipe? If not that’s fine I’ll look for a palm free recipe instead of modifying this one, I just like the look of the finished product but would like to avoid palm oil.
hai i wanna ask something, is it ok to put in a few drop of vitamin essence or serum, like, for skin or face, and if it is ok, in which step should i put it on? thank you, looove your channel so much, been making few of ur videos too ^_^
Hi Anne-Marie! Thanks so much for all the great information you share...I've learned a lot from you. I wanted to ask a question about using goat's milk in a 100% coconut oil recipe. I know it's necessary to use a 20 % superfat for a full coconut oil soap....but would the addition of goat's milk require the superfat to be lower than 20? I am currently revamping my recipe for goats milk soap, as it wasn't hard enough for my liking. I was going to simply increase the hard oils, and then I thought, "Why not just make a coconut oil soap?!" So, my question is, do you think I should leave the superfat at 20%, even while using goat's milk OR should I decrease the superfat. Thanks so much for your help! I truly appreciate your videos, information and time. :) Lisa
Thanks so much for your help! (I should have posed my question to Brambleberry in general so as not to exclude anyone. Oops! My apologies. ) Brambleberry and all the staff who answer questions are always so helpful...I have learned a lot from reading other people's soaping problems. Thanks for your kindness!
Hi Anne Marie! I just wanted to let you know that I made the soap I mentioned above, and decided to go with an 80% coconut formula, and 5% each of jojoba, shea butter, rice bran and aloe butter. I used Goat's milk and no scent or E.O's at all. I was delightfully surprised at how fresh and clean the bars smell! Not to mention the gorgeous creamy feeling, just touching the bars on the rack! They are still curing so I haven't tested them out yet, but I couldn't be happier with them! The 20 % superfat seems perfect, and I can hardly wait to try one! Thanks so much for your help with my questions....I appreciate it so much! Lisa
I have yet to make a soap with any kind of milk or cream in it, Say I am using a touch of heavy whipping cream, would I want to prevent gel phase with that as well? Oh, and love ALL of your videos!!
Tammy Hillier Hi Tammy! Thank you, so glad you love the videos! Also, I would recommend putting soap made with heavy cream in the fridge or freezer as well. Like the milk, it can scorch if it gets too hot. Putting it in a cool place will help prevent that. =)
Hi! i am only 12 years old, but i am a soap maker. i just wanted to tell you that i really love your videos and your business!!!

Thank you so much Nataku! Glad you like the videos. =)
Melk😂 This helped so much and we made great soap
This is so lovely and helpful. You're really energetic too!
So glad you enjoyed the video! =)
Thanks for having such easy instructions to follow, I have seen many other "soapers" but their instructions are hard to follow.
This is so calming, it reminds me of Food network.
This was a blast to watch. It's like a science experiment with soap at the end of the process. Thank you for posting it!
I love these videos! :) She's very thorough in her instructions.
Hi, I have never made soap but after watching a few of your videos, I am keen to give it a go. Your videos are the best, everything clear and easy to understand. Thank you. ( New Zealand.)

Thank you. I just shared a picture of my goat milk soap on Bramble Berry's Facebook page. I'll post a video of it in a few days.
I love this soap!!! The goats milk is very rich and thick and i just love how natural it is!;)

Wonderful!!!
Chemistry students at Kennedy HS in Chicago will be making soap with your guidance this year. They are SUPER excited.
Marc Irwin That sounds like such a fun project! I love the idea of kids learning about the science of soapmaking. What kind of soap are they making?
I'm allowing each group to plan their own formula. They are choosing molds, colorants, and "smelly stuff" to use, they are even free to modify my base formula (30 coco-30 palm-30 shea-10 olive oil).

So glad you love the video Elizabeth! Thanks for your sweet comment. =)
I wish I could make soap( cold process soap) but I'm too young, btw I love your videos
Thank you Anne Marie for the information. I know the European supplier option in The Netherlands. They have quite a lot in stock and try to expand. But it is hard to buy, (among other products) a professional soapcutter for instance over here. And indeed the custom tax is very high, hopefully the free trade agreement between USA and The Netherlands will give more possibilities in the future. Good for the economical perpective😜

Am I leaving the soap in the freezer for 5 days, or am I leaving the soap in the mold for 5 days?
I took mine out of the mold after 24 hours. I didn't freeze it at all. Lol

Beautiful Soap, Thanks for sharing :) x Mariella x
When we get goats, we will do this!
Love this! I would like to add clay to this version. Could I do that, if so how much?
Awesome!! I've been wanting to learn how to make goat milk soap. Do I need to put in the sodium lactate? Or can I just omit it from the recipe? And do I have to add more liquid since I took it out? Sorry for so many questions!!

Thanks so much! Glad you like the soap. =)
awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
This soap is sooo beautiful!!! Would this technique work with white M&P if you let it thicken a little bit???
Where did you get that electric whisk? that thing is awesome....love this video!!
Do u have to have the sodium lactate though?
Omg I’m so going to buy and try :)
i miss the tutorials like this :(
Love love love your videos!! :)
i just watched this video..... thank so much much well explained... will love to ask if there is a substitute fr palm oil in the recipe that will still give thesame result... can palm kernel oil b used as a substitute same quantity as that of palmoil? . thanx
Can salt be substituted for sodium lactate? Thanks for the tutorial
As always a great video.x
Love your videos !

At what point in the hardening process can I imprint the soap with a stamp? Also, have you ever used things from nature to stamp your soap (e.g. leaf)?
Is there a video for the big block of soap on the shelf behind you?
Hi how long did you leave the soap in the REFRIGERATOR? And did you cover the Soap?
Thank you
Does verticle and horizontale make a difference :) ?
Thank you so much! How long do you leave the the soap in the refrigerator? Also, do you have a book on how to use the soap calc. I tried to formulate a recipe for goat milk and aloe Vera and it was a disaster.
We recommend leaving the soap in the fridge for at least 8 hours. We do not have a book on using the soap calculator but we do have an article: www.brambleberry.com/tips-and-tricks/soap/art0008-using-lye-calculator.html
I am wanting to make this but how long do you keep it in the fridge for? Then do you just let it cure like with regular CP soap? Thanks!
Can we subtract the sodium lactate from this recipe, and maybe add castor oil instead?

Hi Anne-Marie! Thanks so much for all the great information you share...I've learned a lot from you. I wanted to ask a question about using goat's milk in a 100% coconut oil recipe. I know it's necessary to use a 20 % superfat for a full coconut oil soap....but would the addition of goat's milk require the superfat to be lower than 20? I am currently revamping my recipe for goats milk soap, as it wasn't hard enough for my liking. I was going to simply increase the hard oils, and then I thought, "Why not just make a coconut oil soap?!" So, my question is, do you think I should leave the superfat at 20%, even while using goat's milk OR should I decrease the superfat. Thanks so much for your help! I truly appreciate your videos, information and time. :) Lisa
Even with the addition of the goat's milk the coconut oil will still make the bar very cleansing so we would still recommend a higher superfat.
Thanks so much for your help! (I should have posed my question to Brambleberry in general so as not to exclude anyone. Oops! My apologies. ) Brambleberry and all the staff who answer questions are always so helpful...I have learned a lot from reading other people's soaping problems. Thanks for your kindness!
Hi Anne Marie! I just wanted to let you know that I made the soap I mentioned above, and decided to go with an 80% coconut formula, and 5% each of jojoba, shea butter, rice bran and aloe butter. I used Goat's milk and no scent or E.O's at all. I was delightfully surprised at how fresh and clean the bars smell! Not to mention the gorgeous creamy feeling, just touching the bars on the rack! They are still curing so I haven't tested them out yet, but I couldn't be happier with them! The 20 % superfat seems perfect, and I can hardly wait to try one! Thanks so much for your help with my questions....I appreciate it so much! Lisa
I love your channel :) ;)
I have yet to make a soap with any kind of milk or cream in it, Say I am using a touch of heavy whipping cream, would I want to prevent gel phase with that as well? Oh, and love ALL of your videos!!
Tammy Hillier Hi Tammy!
Thank you, so glad you love the videos! Also, I would recommend putting soap made with heavy cream in the fridge or freezer as well. Like the milk, it can scorch if it gets too hot. Putting it in a cool place will help prevent that. =)
Hi..Is there a percentage I can use for this recipe?
OK i love the goat milk soap but i was wondering if the soap will not go bad if there is no any preservatives.
since you are using goat mill will it spoil? does it have a shelf life?
