Baby Bastille with Breast Milk Soap. Recipe included

[@vertheanoble7574]

I know this was made in 2018, I wanted to know who's breast milk is being used in this recipe?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

My nieces :) She asked me to make her this soap.

[@winusuren4034]

Thank you for the video. Love from India❤️. I'm planning to substitute coconut milk for the breast milk.How long do you cure these soaps before using it for the baby??

[@OpheliasSoapery]

6-8 months. But some cure for only 6-8 weeks.

[@winusuren4034]

@@OpheliasSoapery Thank you so much for your reply ma'am. Did you try using the soap after 8 months? Some people say Castile or Bastille are still drying on their skin after a long time cure.

While it is true that a good long cure is the best, I had a situation recently where I couldn't wait that long. My daughter works with horses and had one that was having an allergic reaction to fly spray. She needed something very gentle and mild for him, so I made up a bastille soap and used sodium lactate so it would be useable in a few weeks. I tested it on myself first and it was fairly hard after a couple weeks. Of course, I also did a water discount as well. I have been making milk soaps since 2002. Don't be afraid to freeze your milk and do it that way. It is very easy. Just add your lye to the milk and stir until the milk cubes are melted. The problems come when you just let the lye sit on the milk and it burns. It smells bad and turns a horrid orange color. But, if you stir it frequently while the milk is melting, it will not burn and will turn into a lovely creamy white mixture and will not smell. Just add to your oils and make soap. I always thought that was far easier and I do it with any type of milk I want to soap with. Freeze the milk in ice cube trays so it is easy to measure out the amount you need and it melts more evenly. Don't freeze it in one big solid lump. HTHs.

I watch for the soothing music you use. I watch a couple of soap professionals but there's a few who are just monotone if that makes sense then one who is a good soaper but seems to copy other people stuff. I like your music you choose and your soaps are so lovely to look at. Of all of the soapers I watch on KZbin you and Katie from Royalty Soaps are my favorite. Thank you for the calming videos from a long day at work.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Mary Hicks Thank you so much!! That means so much to me! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dcb5780]

Dumb question, but if you don’t have breast milk can you use formula? If it’s similar when digested by infants would it also be similar applied topically?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I’m not sure. Might want to try a small 1lb batch and test it out :)

[@liliacerda4003]

Does this soap burn babies eyes or is it gentle enough to use on baby face and head? Thank you 🙏

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I would not use it over their head. It may burn their eyes.

[@liliacerda4003]

Ophelia’s Soapery thank you so much for your information I really appreciate it.

[@ig7002]

Very cool! I love how they came out. So perfectly smooth

[@depezahrial]

Came here after seeing Seungri's interview with a korean artist telling him that she can give him her breastmilk soap if he don't mind. His facial expression was priceless 😂😂😂😂😂

[@SinCitySoapandCandles]

Awesome. This soap will be so good for babies. I would love to make one of these for someone!💗

[@annikamanchester]

Your pouring! 😍You have such a steady hand! When I pour into molds like that, there is always spillage.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Thank you! I usually spill it too 🤣 I did good on this one lol

[@mandisouto]

Love love love! You read my mind! I have some milk in the freezer from my last baby and I want to make soap for the new baby. I'll have to try your recipe! Lovely as always! ♥️

[@VicToria-sd1dn]

This is called Cross-milking 😂

[@esthelabermudez638]

How long we can leave the breast milk on the freezer??

[@melanie1050]

I normally just watch your video's without reading the title...in the middle of watching the video I saw the caption Breast Milk ...hey...wow...ummm...yeah...what did I just see. I paused and clicked google...Who knew...You're the BEST

[@LadyGoza]

How many ounces fit into each mold cavity? Or what is the weight in the resulting soap bar?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Lety Williamson 3oz :)

[@Monz03b]

How long will you let them cure since they have a lot of olive oil in them?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Monz03b it is recommended 6-8 months :)

[@LittleIowaHomestead]

Where do you purchase your castor oil from?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

WiseRats Wife in this video it’s from Nature’s Garden. But I mostly buy from Soapers Choice :)

[@emmabroughton2039]

I've found with Bastille and Castile soaps, the longer they cure, the better they are. I'm currently working through a batch of Bastille I made over a year ago and they're lovely. Nice hard bars, that melt away slowly yet give lots of bubbles.

[@VPmed7]

Very nice! Do you always super fat at 5% when using goat milk as well, or do you stick with 8% ?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

VPmed7 I usually super fat 8% :)

[@cheekysaver]

This is pretty cool! If we can take milk from other animals and put it in soap why not us?

[@NYtalk60]

Haha. You had me until you added the breast milk. I know I can use another milk. Those days are gone.🤣

[@ladywolf5476]

Wow nice

[@maddie2781]

Wow!! This is pretty unique! Never thought of that. I will have to ask my daughter if she’s still lactating. Make some soaps for her baby boys

[@canal633]

Lindoooo

[@Lioncity55]

can you give me the recipes I am new not very good in calculating the ratio.

[@im_noah_lynx]

What are the benefits of breast milk soap? I didn't even know that you could do this with breast milk, haha

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Rebekah Cox I’ve read that breast milk has great healing properties. And it’s good for eczema. You can add pretty much any milk to soap (I believe).
