Breast Milk Soap Handmade Cold Process

This soap recipe I am using breast milk as a key ingredient. There are many beneficial properties for using breast milk for skin care and this is just one alternative use for breast milk. It's said that breast milk can help with eczema, cradle cap and a verity of other home remedies. Leave a comment below of your favorite unexpected uses for milk.
This is a nice spin on baby soap or for sensitive skin. I also incorporated Lavender Essential oil and colloidal oatmeal for a more soothing bath time.
This is a cold process soap recipe made from scratch. If it's your first time making homemade soap please do your research and be safe.

Thank you for making a breast milk soap correctly! There are so many false videos out there for breast milk soaps.

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Aww. Thanks! 💕. I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@tracycook310]

what do you mean?

[@jenniekopish9482]

@@tracycook310 There are so many youtube videos saying that adding milk to melt and pour soap is okay which it's not! If you add milk to melt and pour soap it just suspended in the soap and will rot and smell terrible in a month.

@@jenniekopish9482 Is lye safe for babies? What happens if I make a soap with just metled glycerin soap and breastmilk?

[@jenniekopish9482]

@@TakosStory If the soap is made correctly technically there should be no lye in it. The chemical process is called saponification. Lye by itself is not safe for anyone's bare skin. When adding Glycerin soap and milk together you are suspending the milk in the soap which can cause it to rot and be nasty for anyone who uses it.

Hello there. Thanks so much for sharing this video. I have been trying to find a recipe using the cold process using BM. Do you have a list of the ingredients (quantities) and method written out anywhere that I can access? Just so I can print it out and have it handy for future making. Thanks again

[@teroninash4992]

I’m definitely doing this recipe!

[@yeshuasababu2674]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. Please increase the volume. It was hard to hear you🌸

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Thanks for watching. Some of the first few videos I put on KZbin had volume issues. At some point I will redo this video. I have since made sure I increase the volume before uploading to my channel. It’s been a learning process for me.

[@officiallyjz597]

What kind of lye did you use? I searched there are two types - sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Also, how long does this soap last and how would I store it correctly? Thanks!!

[@aliciaarroyo6]

OFFICIALLYJZ You will need sodium hydroxide. It’s for making cold process soap. I would highly recommend doing some research on safety if it’s your first time. Technically the soap really shouldn’t go rancid but I try to use mine with in two years just because that’s the typical shelf life for most of these ingredients.

[@Insecterina]

Sodium hydroxide for solid soap. Potassium hydroxide for liquid soap. You can use soapcalc.net for proper calculations to do it correctly. Theres also youtube videos on how to do the oil - lye ratio measurements and safety while doing so because it can be very dangerous

[@aartijainric]

One day I want to try this out .... I am not a mother yet so maybe have to wait.

[@diamonddotson7735]

You don’t have to be a mother. You can buy Breastmilk and make the soap.

[@hernandezfamily7404]

Hi, I live in Las Vegas and I'm looking for someone local who can turn my breast milk into soap or anything else beneficial. I have a lot. I'm on this medication for 2 weeks so I can't give my milk to my baby but I'm pumping like crazy and I don't know what to do with the milk I don't want to waste it I probably have three quarts full and it's just day three I'll be on this medication for another 11 days. Could you recommend a bulk recipe for a moisturizing soap with a little exfoliation for me to use? And another recipe for the baby and a list of everything i need ?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

You can modify this recipe to your needs. I have a few other Breastmilk soap recipes on my channel. Colloidal oatmeal would be a nice exfoliating additive. I would highly recommend adding milk to your bath water or your babies bath water. It’s conditioning to the skin and reduces a lot of blemishes.

[@bratgurl1army]

What other oils can be used? Cannot find safflower oil. Can honey be added as well if so how would the recipe need to be altered? Do you need a designated immersion blender for this or can my kitchen one be used and cleaned.

[@aliciaarroyo6]

You can use more sunflower oil it’s probably the best substitute. I usually get both oils at Walmart. If you sub out the oil run it through the soap calculator again. You can add 1tbs per pound of soap. Keep in mind it will heat your soap up… I have never done it with this recipe but since there is milk in it you need to keep it as cool as possible. You can use whatever tools you want. I have a designated set of supplies just for soap making

[@TheScraftworks]

I love breastmilk soaps! Great video

Does the breastmilk have to be fresh for this to work? I have frozen breastmilk that is more than 6 months old and has a slight odor to it. Will it work for this?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

No, you may use fresh or frozen milk. I used milk that had been stored in the fridge a few days then froze it. Freezing it helps the process so you don’t scorch the milk when adding it to lye. I don’t think your breast milk is too old for soap making. You can always try to make it and see how it turns out. Make sure you let it fully cure first before using it. If you see any orange spots develop on the soap you will know that the milk was bad and I would not use the soap.

[@debbieedwards9510]

What was ur temp of oil and milk when u mixed them? Some people say that is important.

[@aliciaarroyo6]

With any soap that you use milk with it’s key to keep it as cool as possible. You do not want the milk to curdled so add the lye one spoon at a time and make sure the container stays cool to Luke worm. Most of my soaps I mix at 110-80 degrees. For my milk soaps I usually try to keep it on the lower end of temps.

[@debbieedwards9510]

@@aliciaarroyo6 good to know so did u keep the oils cool too?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Yes, they were room temp

[@nancysathya8807]

Can you tell me please, that can we keep this soap for more than 25 yrs or not, i am planning to give this soap as a gift for my baby when she grows up to 25, and not for using

[@aliciaarroyo6]

No, I don’t think it will hold up that long. Most cold process soap has a shelf life of about 2-4 years. It really depends on the recipe. Over time it may start to go bad. You may notice some orange spotting on your soap if you keep it that long, that is a sign that the oils are going rancid.

[@BudgetsWithTabby]

Try getting breast milk jewelry. It's a beautiful way to cherish your breast milk ❤

[@nancysathya8807]

Jewellery, will try definitely, thanks for ur idea dear

[@emiviolin]

Make sure to ask your jeweler supplier how long will the piece last without yellowing. I make breast milk jewelry and mostly will eventually yellow, but if you keep it in a dark place should be good for a very long time!

[@maribelrodriguez594]

You have to put it in freezer for 6 weeks ?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

No. You don’t have to put the milk in the freezer for any length of time.

[@jchambers2045]

I belong to a soaping group on Facebook and a few people that have made BM soap have shown pictures of there lye and milk solution turning orange. Others commenting are claiming this is natural. I make several different milk soap and take precaution to keep my solution from caramelizing or scorching. Some commenting take offense when others tell them what is happening. Have you ever had that problem?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Yeah. You are correct. If the lye solution is changing color drastically to an orange or brown color you are scorching the milk and ruining it’s beneficial properties. I make lots of milk soap and only had my milk turn colors a few time. You can still use the soap…. However it is not as good as it could be. You are ruining the integrity of the ingredients.

[@maribelrodriguez594]

What brand of essential oils do you use?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

I use “now” sometimes I order generic brands from soap suppliers. Just wherever I can find them locally or at a discount

Is this safe for 4 months old baby??

[@aliciaarroyo6]

You need to let it cure for about 6 weeks. I would test it on a small area if you are concerned but it really shouldn’t be an issue. This is how they have made soap for 100s of years. I do know some parents do not use any soap for the first 6 months or so. Everyone is different.

Can you use this on baby

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Ebieyerin Badiru I would highly recommend doing your own research on making cold process soaps. This is the “old fashioned” way to make soap. It’s detergent free so it’s better for you skin, however this is not tear free like commercial soap for babies. I did use this on my daughters skin at as young as 2 months. She had no negative reactions.

[@mndy67]

Thats an insane amount of oils especially lavender oil

[@suzanneanderson597]

Do you make CP soap? It’s made entirely of oils. I’m planning to make a version of this and will also put Shea butter in.

[@XxkurukixX]

How is lye safe in soap?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

I would highly recommend you do some research on lye and lye safety. When you make soap there is no lye left in the soap, it causes a chemical reaction and through the curing process the lye bonds with the oils.

[@marisoldiaz6850]

😤

[@BabyMacFlo]

Nice recipe but that’s too much lavender. Even if it’s a “safe oil” it’s still essential so it’s highly concentrated.

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Flavia M’peti I think there must be some confusion. I am making cold process soap and I did double check and ran it through the fragrance calculator again. The low end of usage would be .96 fl Oz. Or 28.3 ml. The high end for a more potent fragrance would be 1.93 Oz. I did use the low end since I had intended on using this on myself and my daughter. I have made a few soaps with lavender before and this one the fragrance was very light.

[@PrettyLipsCo]

@@aliciaarroyo6 the problem is people commenting who don't make soap. People really should do their research before commenting.
