Simply beautiful!!! Goat milk soaps are my favorite! I’m sort of a beginner Soaper though - and just learning about % water content in recipes. My last few small batches were reduced WC with lye water just to experiment. But, I am confused what water content should be in milk soaps. Can you help? Thank you!
So do you measure the goat milk before you freeze it or after? Would the weight change from solid to liquid? 🤔 Sorry, so many questions, I'm newer to soaping (a few months in now) and I absolutely am in love with the craft. I just want to learn everything 🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰
Love watching your videos. So much to learn. The milk honey soap looks yum. Have one doubt, if you can clear. You didn't refrigerate the soap after pouring, the otherwise advice is to always refrigerate the milk soaps to prevent milk from burning and giving out the burnt odour after moulding and curing. if you can help in understanding. Fairly new to soap making, esp. milk soaps. Thanks much.
Looks so nice! I love watching your videos! I am a beginner and not sure how to discount goats milk AND honey when adding it to my recipe. Can you do a video on this please? Thanks!
Thank you for such a lovely video. Do we need a temperature reading on the oil & lye before mixing them..or is everything mixed at room temperature? Thanks
I have a couple of questions for you Ms. Ellen. What are the benefits of honey and tusa (sp?) silk fibers in soap? I'll google it but I much rather prefer thoughts from people experienced with them. Also, I started recently using Kaolin Clay and Colloidal oatmeal as a regular process a couple of weeks ago because of your videos. I can't wait to try one of my cured soaps that has those in them so see how they feel on my skin before I put them out to family and friends.
I bet you'll love how the additives feel in the lather when your bars are cured! Honey has lots of skin benefits, but mostly it's a great lather booster in soap, and the silk really does give a "silky" feel to the finished bar and lather.
Yum, looks lovely! I made my first honey soap the other day! I'm having trouble stamping it though. All of my standard soaps are able to be removed from the mould at 24hours (I use sodium lactate) and I then immediately cut and stamp. My honey soap seems to be harder and with a slightly crumblier texture than my soaps without honey. I am using the same recipe I normally use, I used a 1:1.6 lye:water ratio and soaped at 93 degrees. The only difference with this soap (apart from the honey addition of a teaspoon per pound of oils) is that I popped it into the freezer for 5 hours and then transferred it to the fridge for the remainder of the 24hours. The soap still went through gel (with only a slight ring around the edge where it didn't gel). Do you have any advice regarding the stamping of honey soap? Each time I try to stamp, a little chunk of soap is pulled away and it looks horrid. Thanks so much x
I'm not sure what's going on there..? You could try waiting a week on the honey soaps and give stamping a try then, I know several soapers that stamp after the cure.
That stamped bar is gorgeous
That turned out really lovely 💕
So beautiful! One of my favorite parts of the video is the stamping.
Thank you ☺️
Looks so luscious
Thank you!😄
Great job making this soapy staple, well done Ellen
Thanks, I was really happy with it 😃

For this one, I used all goat milk, no water

I freeze my goat milk fresh, and measure it later as needed..

Thanks for watching! I prefer my soaps to go thru gel phase, even my milk soaps.
@@EllenRuthSoap it doesn't get scorched? How to prevent scorching of the milk while in saponification stage. If you can advice. Thanks much 💕
What do you do with all he soap shavings and wear can I order rubber stamps
I make either confetti soap or rebatch. I just added the link for the stamp: amzn.to/3qb4Mey

Room temp is good, that's what I do.
@@EllenRuthSoap Superb! Thanks

Another beautiful delicious soap, Ellen. I love and appreciate the simplicity. How many days do you wait before stamping?
Thank you ☺️. I usually stamp a few hours after I cut, but sometimes I wait a day or 2
@@EllenRuthSoap Mine so often sticks to stamp even when I wait a few days! So frustrating - almost ready to ditch stamping altogether.
Marie Edwards I have a whole video of the way I do it, if you're interested
Try using cling wrap. Cover the area you intend to stamp with the cling film. It works for me. No more digging soap out of my stamps.
That's beautiful. Did you make your own cutter or bought it somewhere?
Thanks! My cutter is from etsy, but you can find them on amazon too...

@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you Ellen for your reply! I'll give it a go.
So if I'm using a lye calculator can I just replace the water fully with goats milk and add the honey and oats and be ok?
Yes👍
Hi! Please share where to find the oat flour? Thank you for all you do!

You ruined it with titanium dioxide. People really dont care about color as long as its as close to natural as possible.
