(September 2022). By now, all your questions about making goat's milk soap have been answered in the comments, except one: "What are the *dimensions* of the mold box?" So let's solve it. 1. Lumber is sold by "nominal" dimensions, before shrinkage. The boards in this project are nominally 1 in. x 4 in., but actually they are 3/4 in. x 3.5 in. 2. The box is 5 sectors long by 5 wide, for a total of 25 bars of soap, each weighing about 4 ounces. 3. At 18:36 in the video you can see the inside width is 10 inches, or perhaps a little more. 4. The camera loses focus on the yardstick in the long dimension, but by measuring to the the halfway point, and then doubling the number, we can estimate it is about 16 inches. 5. Soap has a density of about 0.52 ounces (oz.) per cubic inch (cu in.). So a 4 oz. bar has a volume of 4 / 0.52 = 7.69 cu in. 6. The width of each soap bar is 10 in. / 5 = 2 in. Divide 7.69 by 2 to find the product of the remaining dimensions. 7.69/2 = 3.85 square inches. 7. If the inside length is 16 in., each bar is 16/5 = 3.2 in. long. Therefore the thickness is 3.85/3.2 = 1.2 in. 8. To build a 10 in. x 16 in. box, you would need 5 boards with nominal dimensions of 16 in. x 4 in. (actually 16x3.5), and two boards measuring 4 in. x 12 in. 9. Or you could buy a kitty litter box at the dollar store.
I’ve been making Marsha’s goat milk soap for 8 years now. My 14 grandchildren where small then and love the patchouli one. Well most of them are all grown up now and will purchase the ingredients from Amazon and send them to my house, so needless to say I’m soaping this morning a 100 bars made for the lot of them.....I’m loving it!!
Could you please tell me how much Goat milk powder you use? I would like to make it for the first time and am scared to get the wrong measurements and loose all my ingredients. Thanks. Sharon
@@snowgoose8918Hi. I have the same question about the measurement of goat milk powder. Can I ask if you know how much to use? I would hate to loose all the ingredients if I make it wrong. Thank you so much.
I have been making soap since the first time I watched this 5 years ago, and I still enjoy watching it. Marsha is a great teacher and that location is sublime!
oh my... finally this video is back. Why did you remove it from youtube :( you inspired me to make soap one day. Thank you very much for this video. Please do NOT remove this from youtube. Just don't.
This video blows me away! This is soap made like the pioneers made it, for sure! It makes me laugh when I think how careful I am with mixing just the right amount of lye and water, using Soapcalc to figure the correct mixture of soft and hard oils, and weighing out every single ingredient. This wonderful lady just pours in ingredients willy nilly and her soap comes out perfectly. Haha
Pioneers didn't use steric acid and some of the other ingredients. I understand what you're saying though. I make a lot of soap too. I think she's combined a pioneer style with a modern one and made an awesome soap. One of my daughters watched this with me and said I need to try this method tomorrow (we made 3 batches today). I don't have steric acid or powdered goat milk though... I have dairy goats, but no powdered milk. Hmmm...
"Who can find a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies" (Proverbs 31:10 and on). I think these two women fall into that category; especially Misty.
So the recipe seems to be: --3 Cups of Spring Water --17 ounces of lye --6 pounds of vegetable oils (2 pounds of coconut oil, 2 pounds of Crisco shortening, 2 pounds of Canola Oil) --2 cups of lemon juice --1/3 cup powdered goat's milk --2 ounces of stearic acid --2 ounces of tea tree oil --1 ounce of Sweet Almond oil --Vitamin E Oil (30,000 IU) Note: Approximately 2.5 ounces.
I've got a feeling this nice lady knows her business when it comes to making soap. I bet she's a dang good cook to. Her old man sure is a lucky one. Better treat her good, this kind is hard to find. Very good vid!
I absolutely love seeing the different ways ppl do things. There are so many things in this video that are such a “no no” in typical soap making. But they are done here with gorgeous results. Makes me realize that we “mainstream “ soap makers aren’t as smart as we think we are. Lol Simple, beautiful, and effective... Cant ask for anything more. Gorgeous job ladies!!!❤️♥️
I'm about to start my first batch of soap and I've been nervous but excited at the same time and watching this made me feel so happy. These women are absolutely fantastic.
thank you!! as soon as i saw this i KNEW i would love it and i did! the commentary and humor was wonderful and the recipe is exquisite. i appreciate you for sharing.
This is the best soap my family has ever used. my daughter has super sensitive skin and this soap with oatmeal added has been a real blessing :) thanks for sharing it
This is the best soap ever, and I have made it for years. You can make it plain or you can make it fancy, but it is always the best!! Thanks Mountain Man for putting it back up for everyone to enjoy again. God bless!!♥
Just my opinion here, but if you are going to use animal fat, Tallow is THE way to go!!!!! :) It is much harder, no DOS, and even smells better in the grand scheme of things! :) Have fun! :)
These two women are an inspiration to me, I love the simplicity and sincerer way Marsha explains and so kindly shares her way of making soap. I love them both.
Wow I didn’t know the lemon juice tip .. thank you for sharing 😊God bless.. I am impressed you didn’t use a stick blender ..you know you are an obsessed soaper when everything you come upon can potentially become soap lol .. love your video
This video was the first one I watched. That was several years ago. I am now addicted to making soap. This year I started making hot process. My favori5e soap are my charcoal and Tea tree soap. It's great for the face.
I promised myself I would never make this soap, and ordered it, instead. It was wonderful. Somehow, this video kept "calling me." I broke down, and bought all the ingredients. I was close to the end of making it, and remembered to add the lemon juice. Boom! My soap began to rise. I thought it was going to explode. Scared the living daylights out of me! I started to run away from it. Thank goodness common sense was stronger than my need to take flight. I then went online to see if I could repair it. I cooked it in a slow cooker for a week. I finally gave up, and was going to throw it away, but I could not fathom throwing away all that money in the trash. I put some in molds, other part I put honey & oatmeal in. Let it cure for a month, but wasn't necessary since I cooked it for so long. Turned out to be the best soap! I experimented and put some in the food processor until it was somewhat powdered, then added cold water and fragrance ( fragrance oils and/or perfume). Awesome that it retains the fragrance. It makes a wonderful body wash, especially using with a body scrubber. The lather is phenomenal! It takes a little while for the powder to breakdown in cold water (I still use it as it's breaking down, in a pump bottle). If you use hot water, you get that slimy consistency, which is why I experimented with the cold water. Also, you will have to experiment on the thickness of the body wash. You can continue to add water to it, as it depletes. LOVE THIS RECIPE! I will use this for the rest of my life. Thank you Ms. Marsha! Prayers of blessings and peace!
Look up Sharon Johnson and the SJHP soap. She makes hot process soap without a crockpot and she explains the “volcano” effect. You pretty much did the something similar. 🤗🤗
I'm glad to find this video again. This was the first video I watched when I was learning to make soap. It helped me a great deal. So far it is the best soap ever!!
Joy M so I’m thinking of making this soap. But I’m super curious about why it is the best soap you’ve ever used or made? I’ve seen several people say this. And I have bought a lot of handmade soap and I haven’t really fallen in love with any of it. I like it more than store bought or manufactured soap. But I really want to know if I should just bite the bucket and make this. If you could answer that would be great.
@@thruErinseyes Three years on? Go make soap! Do it! Have you made soap by now, and if so how did it go? I hope you’re a regular soaper now and see no need to ask others for permission to engage yourself in this soul fulfilling craft. Much love from the UK.
Swear by this soap. I leave out the steric acid, goat's milk and tea tree oil. I don't add the fragrances or colourings. I keep it very basic. The only soap I can use on my sensitive skin. So easy to make. Brilliant video watched it many years ago and got the recipe back then. So pleased to find it again just to reassure me I had the lye quantity right. I make it every year. This year after moving house I couldn't find my written recipe this show saved me. So glad it was still available on you tube.
Watching this from Denmark and really enjoyed your video, humor and Beautiful accent. The soap looks lovely and Wish it Was something I could buy over here. I actually come to your page after watching Brenda Gant and she praised this soap to the Stars. Maybe one day your soap Will come to Europe 👍😀
I made this recipe (half) and the soap looks lovely. I am new at this and covered my loaf mold overnight while cooling and there is a slightly darker circle in the middle. Should have I just let it cool down without covering? Asking because I intend to make this again for Christmas gifts. Thanks. Update: I didn’t cover the next batch’s loaf mold and all was well. We really love this soap. Thank you!!
Just saw this for the first time. I am going to make my own soap from now on. 2 very bright women. Love Misty and her friend. I am naturally starting to become a minimalist and I like myself better for it. I guess I could go online and find where to order the powdered lye and powdered goat milk. My mother made soap for laundry and warshin' the floors. She used pork fat, not lard. After slaughtering the hog, she would render all the pork fat, she would strain it through cheese cloth, so the soap was a tan color with flecks of brown in it. Clothes were so white and she never used bleach. Yep, I'm going to make soap.
I have made this recipe many, many times and I love it! Only change I make to it, is that I really HATE the smell of tea tree oil so I make it with rose, lemon, or lavender scent 😊 I have not bought any store bought soap for 5 years! Thanks so much to both of you for sharing your expertise! The most fun I have had with this soap was one Christmas while living in Oklahoma. My youngest daughter was in grad school in Stillwater. We decided that we would wrap up a bunch of these bars individually and put ribbons on each bar and took them to one of the local nursing homes and left two with each of the residents that we visited. We told them that we had made them from scratch, just like their Mama and Grandma had done. Their eyes would light up and you could watch them take a trip down memory lane. It was as much a blessing to them as it was to us!! NOTE TO SELF: let's do that for Christmas this year!
I love this, but you HAVE to measure everything carefully in soap making. What’s the point of measuring your water and lye if you’re not also measuring the oils? It ALL has to be precise.
mariaincola made a comment about this woman dumping coconut oil in the LIE she did not dump it she slowly Let It Go in she didn't dump the Crisco she slowly let that him so yes she took her care and doing it yes she said dumping but if you pay attention she did not dump it.
If all of you make this soap then why doesn't someone share how much powdered goat milk to use. I looked through all the comments and no one has answered that question that was asked many times. How much do you use?
When I first saw this video I was a bit freaked cause she added an acid to her soap! Steric acid is a hardener AND it helps with the water/oil barrier on the skin, which helps bond the oil and dirt and wash it off the skin with water. This is an awesome video I watch it for inspiration and learn something new each time.
I made this soap, but the stearic acid didn't melt, now that I know a little more I would but it in with the hot oil and lye in the beginning the beginning. A good soap
Thank you so much, I've been making soap for about 7 years and you have made me rethink the whole process with melting the oils! This looks so much easier and no fire needed!
I have always wanted to make homemade soap ..at age 56 I finally did it. That was over 10 years ago and I love it. Have not store bought soap in over ten years same with laundry soap. Love looking for good recipes...
Absolutely the best soap video I have seen!!! I love how you tell us to check if the soap to ensure it is ready by touching to your tongue, I have not heard that before but will certainly help determine when the soap is ready to sell. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I have been wanting to learn how to make soap for a long time. Now that Marsha has shown me such a simple, straightforward way to do it, I'm going to try it. I also loved Marsha's knowledgeable and practical way of explaining things to us.
Thank you for uploading this again. I know Ron And Marsha personally. She makes the best strawberry jam. I love the great community down there. Again thank you.
I have made this soap and will continue making this soap.... its the best ever.... I LOVE THIS SOAP.... THANK YOU FOR SHARING ..... YOU BOTH ARE AWESOME....
@@MsJcmJcm ... I assume about 2 oz... which is about 1/2 cup .... there have been other posts which indicate 1/2 cup of powdered goats milk... the powdered goats milk makes sense because the mixture is still hot and would normally curdle regular goats milk.... the blessing is that this recipe seems to have a bunch of room for variables.... Im looking to see if this recipe can accept a germicide to it making it a germicidal soap as well.... this soap is very "rich" its like bathing your hands in butter... but the butter rinses freely off....
I have only made soap twice now. A different lady's recipe the first time using olive oil. Then tried Marsha's recipe. It is the one I will use most times now. Love the lather and how the soap cleans. Thank you so much for sharing. Now to go get some spring water down at my folks place so I can make a new batch.
but oils aren't interchangeable. they have different sapponification values. so with your recipe it may be great soap, but if someone uses different oils it may be lye heavy or not even be saponified. but I do like your video, very interesting.
What a great video. The place seemed so peaceful, I would love to sit out there and read God's Word, pray, sing to the Lord, and just "chill out" for a bit.
The lye mixed with the fats/oils/butters goes through a chemical reaction called "saponification" aka it turns into Soap.... after a couple days the reactions is completed then you cure it for a while.
The moment I saw the Thumb-nail photo of this video, I knew it was the one we’ve all been searching and crying for for so long. It was removed from You Tube for the longest time. So glad you decided to re-publish it.
.... I love this gal Marsha and her soap is the most perfect bar of soap and what’s so great about it is that it’s a nice old-fashioned all-purpose bar of soap with all sorts of good stuff in it. You don’t need all those fancy colored swirls. Give me a bar like this any day and I’m in heaven.

Wonderful video! Thank you! I did not hear the amount of powdered goat milk to use for this recipe. Can you please give that amount?
How can we get recipes for this soap, I looked under the description and couldn’t find it, please help
I miss Misty's videos so much! I hope she is doing well.
I love this lady..she breaks all the rules for making soap, compare to all the other videos I watched. Thank you!

"Who can find a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies" (Proverbs 31:10 and on). I think these two women fall into that category; especially Misty.
Amen The proverbs woman

@@lil-al
*Is it possible you would feel better if the word PRICE was substituted with the word VALUE?*
Thank u Marsha for your video.
So the recipe seems to be:
--3 Cups of Spring Water
--17 ounces of lye
--6 pounds of vegetable oils (2 pounds of coconut oil, 2 pounds of Crisco shortening, 2 pounds of Canola Oil)
--2 cups of lemon juice
--1/3 cup powdered goat's milk
--2 ounces of stearic acid
--2 ounces of tea tree oil
--1 ounce of Sweet Almond oil
--Vitamin E Oil (30,000 IU) Note: Approximately 2.5 ounces.
Thank you!! Does it matter what kind of lye is used?
Amazon.com sells lye. Just look for "lye for soap making" It will be called sodium hydroxide.
Don't forget the 1 oz of sweet almond oil
Thank you SO much. I have been looking for this only finding bits and pieces of the recipe.

Why no stearic acid? It doesn’t have the same effect when used in soap as it does if ingested orally🤔
I've probably watch your video 25times and enjoyed each one a much as the first! Thankyou I'm happy to say I'm now a soaper because of you!

I have made this recipe many, many times and I love it! Only change I make to it, is that I really HATE the smell of tea tree oil so I make it with rose, lemon, or lavender scent 😊 I have not bought any store bought soap for 5 years! Thanks so much to both of you for sharing your expertise!
The most fun I have had with this soap was one Christmas while living in Oklahoma. My youngest daughter was in grad school in Stillwater. We decided that we would wrap up a bunch of these bars individually and put ribbons on each bar and took them to one of the local nursing homes and left two with each of the residents that we visited. We told them that we had made them from scratch, just like their Mama and Grandma had done.
Their eyes would light up and you could watch them take a trip down memory lane. It was as much a blessing to them as it was to us!!
NOTE TO SELF: let's do that for Christmas this year!
Thank you Marsha X spent a lovely few minutes in your beautiful part of the world. wonderful soap thanks for the lesson x

Using home made lye from wood ash generated from heating and cooling as well as soapwort will save monies too
What a nice video and what a great teacher she is explaining each step, thank you ladies for the video.
I am new to soap making and wish I had seen this video first. I really enjoyed her and how she explained as she went. Thank you for this video!!
I love this, but you HAVE to measure everything carefully in soap making. What’s the point of measuring your water and lye if you’re not also measuring the oils? It ALL has to be precise.
mariaincola made a comment about this woman dumping coconut oil in the LIE she did not dump it she slowly Let It Go in she didn't dump the Crisco she slowly let that him so yes she took her care and doing it yes she said dumping but if you pay attention she did not dump it.
Such valuable info. And yes that's right. Real cooks etc like mommas and grannys did not use measuring cups or spoons.
If you burn wood and butcher hogs, you can make soap for free!!
Love this soap, and the surroundings is so Beautiful, Thank you for sharing!!
Wonderful, cannot wait to try it...Oh and what a magical setting you have to make it in...love and light to you all.
I made this soap and it is absolutely wonderful!!!! It was my first time ever making soap. The directions are so easy to follow. Thank you Marsha!!!
how much powdered goat milk did you use.
How much goat milk powder did you use?
@@glendaamox8575 1/3 cups powdered goat milk
@@diamondfifi1313 1/3 cups powdered goat milk
@@sadiejackson774 I think it could be any powdered milk.
If all of you make this soap then why doesn't someone share how much powdered goat milk to use. I looked through all the comments and no one has answered that question that was asked many times. How much do you use?
Thanks Marsha for sharing your time and expertise with us all.
When I first saw this video I was a bit freaked cause she added an acid to her soap! Steric acid is a hardener AND it helps with the water/oil barrier on the skin, which helps bond the oil and dirt and wash it off the skin with water. This is an awesome video I watch it for inspiration and learn something new each time.
Hi, I'll start by saying that I've never made soap before. Is the stearic acid necessary, or would I be able to use salt?
I made this soap, but the stearic acid didn't melt, now that I know a little more I would but it in with the hot oil and lye in the beginning the beginning. A good soap
Where did you buy the stearic acid? also where did you buy the dry goat milk?
Thank you so much, I've been making soap for about 7 years and you have made me rethink the whole process with melting the oils! This looks so much easier and no fire needed!
I love Misty and Marsha, I love it how Misty cooks.💓💓
You didn’t say how much goat milk
I have always wanted to make homemade soap ..at age 56 I finally did it. That was over 10 years ago and I love it. Have not store bought soap in over ten years same with laundry soap. Love looking for good recipes...
Could you use liquid goat milk? If so. How much?
Absolutely the best soap video I have seen!!! I love how you tell us to check if the soap to ensure it is ready by touching to your tongue, I have not heard that before but will certainly help determine when the soap is ready to sell. Thank you!!!
i love everything in this video 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks so much for posting this video. I have been wanting to learn how to make soap for a long time. Now that Marsha has shown me such a simple, straightforward way to do it, I'm going to try it. I also loved Marsha's knowledgeable and practical way of explaining things to us.
She lost weight put makeup on and a short dress on and moved to the west coast. I'm not kidding check it out.
How much goats milk powder please?
I make lots of soap. I make this soap yesterday. I love how easy it is. I'll let you know when it is cured.
Truly Lynn how. Much goat milk
@@daphnelight221 1/2 cup powdered goat milk with the steric acid
Months after making this soap, I have to say it’s really the best, gentle soap. Thank you so much for sharing this great find.
Are you all Amish or Mennonite? I'm asking because of how you dress? The lady assisting you is so sweet and helpful. :-)
I'm a soaper and this is one of the best videos that I've seen. thank you!
Was the lard soap recipe ever posted?
Thank you for uploading this again. I know Ron And Marsha personally. She makes the best strawberry jam.
I love the great community down there. Again thank you.
I would like to order some of your soaps 🧼
Where can your lard recipe be found?
can you put all the ingredients in the description please ? can I use Shea butter with this recipe ?
Has anyone tried making this soap? Curious how the lemon juice impacted the final outcome and what the PH of the end product was.
May I ask where do you buy your lye in bulk like that? It's costing me out the wazoo buying in small 2lb jugs. Thanks in advance

i got 2lbs of pot. lye at Belle Chemical for $9.99 with free shipping and no tax. Great place to get lye in any qty.
what a great teacher, thank you for sharing.
How much goat milk struck acid
Wondering the same
Cool video you ladies are great
Great recipe. But I'm still wondering what happened to misty?
I'm getting into soap making and have been studying it for 1year. And today I think this is the best video.
I have made this soap and will continue making this soap.... its the best ever.... I LOVE THIS SOAP.... THANK YOU FOR SHARING ..... YOU BOTH ARE AWESOME....
John Henry Holliday how much goat milk powder should we use?
@@MsJcmJcm ... I assume about 2 oz... which is about 1/2 cup .... there have been other posts which indicate 1/2 cup of powdered goats milk... the powdered goats milk makes sense because the mixture is still hot and would normally curdle regular goats milk.... the blessing is that this recipe seems to have a bunch of room for variables.... Im looking to see if this recipe can accept a germicide to it making it a germicidal soap as well.... this soap is very "rich" its like bathing your hands in butter... but the butter rinses freely off....
If lye burns why the heck you using it for soap
Jon Greenleaf all soap starts out with 3 ingredients...fat, water, and lye...
Thank you do much for sharing your knowledge. I've been so keen to find a proper old fashioned method. 💕
I have only made soap twice now. A different lady's recipe the first time using olive oil. Then tried Marsha's recipe. It is the one I will use most times now. Love the lather and how the soap cleans. Thank you so much for sharing. Now to go get some spring water down at my folks place so I can make a new batch.
What is the PH of the soap with the lemon juice added?
I am so glad that I found yall! This was amazing & the best part of my day! Thank you !
but oils aren't interchangeable. they have different sapponification values. so with your recipe it may be great soap, but if someone uses different oils it may be lye heavy or not even be saponified. but I do like your video, very interesting.
Cinnamon Carter what kind of lye do you use?
Thomas Worthington Winter Guard there's only one type of lye ,sodium hydroxide
Would it work to heat these fats separately and then add them to the lye water once they are already melted?
Thank you ladies for a great information source. That setting is absolutely beautiful.
This is the best soap to make. Thanks for republishing the video.
Could someone please tell me how much powdered goat's milk to add?
What a great video. The place seemed so peaceful, I would love to sit out there and read God's Word, pray, sing to the Lord, and just "chill out" for a bit.
The lye mixed with the fats/oils/butters goes through a chemical reaction called "saponification" aka it turns into Soap.... after a couple days the reactions is completed then you cure it for a while.
