How to Make Homemade Goats Milk Hot Process Lye Soap

[@02271953me]

Wonderful tutorial! I made goats milk soap, adding the milk w the lye/water solution. It immediately "broke" and turned bright orange. It looked like ground carrot floating around. I have to say my batch turned out a creamy tan after that but I sure don't understand how. All of your soaps have such a wonderful, creamy look to them. Forget the girly-girl thing - the rustic is gorgeous!

tyvm i love it. i am alone at home and when i do my soaps i am boxing up i like to watch your videos its like a friend that came over and visited. ty again .,.. blessing and honor and glory to the King of kings.

[@Golden602]

I am so glad that you explained about the water at the end of the video. I really enjoyed the video. My 6 year old son watched the video with me. At the end when you said that we could purchase from you he got so excited. So, looks like I'm off to check out your site

[@hoyte1031]

Your awesome Kim, I'm a southern Alabama girl myself, and you are an inspiration to me. I'm trying to start my own homemade natural soap in my area. Wish me luck!

[@bekka2joe]

Your a blessing to listen to, and even more to learn from!

[@alliec819]

I've got some in the crockpot now. So far everything is matching yours exactly except mine is a little creamier in color, less yellow because I left out the oats. I also used coconut milk instead of goat's milk and added Amaretto flavored whipped honey. Oh, and I added cocoa butter to the superfats as well.

[@02271953me]

The soaps are absolutely so gorgeous to look at so in part, I think they sell themselves especially if there is a nice fragrance attached. I will move that direction just need to delve further into the technical end of the business. The soap I got, the other not so much.

[@alliec819]

It's perfect. It turned out really good. A very, very light smell from mostly the honey I think. But it's good stuff. It did darken a little after curing. Very pretty soap and a wonderful lather. It's good stuff. I'll make it again I'm sure. Thanks for such good instructions. I will check out the new video.

[@MariaMartinez-ho7dr]

I love watching your videos. I just recently started making my own soap and I'm hooked. My husband said, "Oh lord, how much is this hobby going to cost?" lol.

[@ThePamster1955]

Awesome, I just love watching your videos. I learn so much from you!!!

[@peggyhorton174]

i just click to stop ad. doesnt bother me that much and u cant be responsible for ads. dont worry about it Kim, u are doing a good job peggy

[@Bbgrl73]

Thank you for your informative videos. I have done the oats and honey soap but haven't tried it with the milk yet.

[@LoraKnutson]

I am going to try making goats milk, oatmeal, amd honey soap. Listening to you describe the way that it smells, I have to try it. Now, if I add ground cinnamon to it then it really will smell like home cooked oatmeal.Anyway, thanks for inspiring me to try this. Love your videos a lot. I watch them every day here on youtube. Bye for now, Lori.

[@BittyBooBrown]

I am just starting into soap making. I have a small homestead and a milk goat. Now I know what I can do with some of the left over milk. Thank you so much for the vid.

[@LindaWalpole]

Really enjoyed watching you soaping. Lovely, lovely soap, Kim, I can just smell it from here. Goats milk oatmeal and honey is my favourite too. Even though I make the cupcakes and cakes I still love making and using a nice bar of hot process soap, x Linda

[@cindykarol3053]

I am just starting soaping l love your videos! You explain so good

[@deltadaze6836]

Yes, the scent of Grapefruit is Heavenly in cold process and when added with 10x Orange it has great long term staying power! It may have staying power by itself, but I'm a sucker for as much citrus as you can throw at me 😁 It's one of those scents that perks back up in the shower/bath.

[@lmturmenne]

It was a blast watching this Kim. Wow! Brings back the old memories, doesn't it? This was when you first started out wasn't it? I mean on You Tube. .... You know I've heard they have been using benzoin powder or resin in soap to help hold scents. Most folks that use it swear by it. I haven't tried it myself because I prefer delicate scents anyway. .... As to bare-footing it, 'm always running around in my bare feet in the warm weather. The only time I wear shoes is when we leave the house. LOL.

[@dawnhowell4531]

I love your vids and learning so much from you. Thanks Teach Your the Best.

[@sharineeley7538]

Hi Kim thank you for replying to my message! seems like some, don't want to be bothered with newbies I live on a farm in a very small country town,in Indiana so want to use E.D. as my only supplier, thank you for that too, but they don't have the soybean oil, so what can I use instead. one more question please, do you remember what video you talked about the soap cal, need a little help with it. Thank you have a wonderful holiday we love you and all your videos too. Shari

[@rociomendez6674]

I am so glad I found this video!! I have wanted to make some GM hot process soap and was not sure how without burning the milk. THanks for sharing your knowledge. If I don;t have steric acid would this affect my soap? Also do you make liquid GM soap? Would love a video on that. By the way, I could sit and watch your videos all day. :) Blessings

[@Alixar81]

I love watching your videos. I will have to try soaping with Goat milk one of these days.

[@02271953me]

I REALLY wanted to start another batch but I have so much soap!! I think I either have to start moving it or buy a new house. Haven't tested the waters yet on selling - wanted to try soaping for years, it has def become an addiction & now I'm up to my ears in soap. But, I love it. I'm dragging some to a family reunion next week - so maybe I'll move some then. I'm curious as to how long you have been soaping, when u decided to make it a business and how. Really curious about all of that.

[@marie501061]

Hey Kim I just watched your video on goats milk hot process but you dont mention how much oil you put in it, and by the way you are soo cool in this video at the end when you talk about all kinds of things and the girly soaps, it was soo funy, you are really good on your explainations, keep on making cool videos you are really good.thanks for sharing.

[@4LBMINIS]

Does this need to cure or is it ready after it dries? Loved your video.

[@csporcellino]

I love your soaps. I like your films. Verry good to follow. Groetjes erna. Holland

[@RedneckAngel98]

Ok I did this recipe watching your video and it did not take long to cook it only like 20 to 30 at the most and I did a zap test and it did not so I hope it was ready do you think it was. I cooked it on warm.

[@MissPrincesskut]

Where is Mentone, I live in Birmingham, and i did'nt even know that it was other soapers in Bama! Kudos, luv the vid!

[@RedneckAngel98]

ok I watch the video again I was just missing it heard it this time thanks so much

[@RedneckAngel98]

Thank you Kim that is so sweet I will video when I do it I am going to buy one of those cheap flip camcorder to do videos. Also thanks for the tip on Ess. Depot. I kinded thought it was pig fat but had to ask that is what it is for us southern girls like me and you. I got load of pig fat in the freezer I need to rinder but have not gotten to that yet. The other video should have loaded it took forever. Bye Bye for now

[@sharineeley7538]

Hi Kim Love all your videos, and you too. I am very new to soap making , I have not even made my first batch, I would like your HP milk and honey goat milk to be my first one. Can you give me an Idea of what was in the oils you used. Thank You shari

[@02271953me]

I would love to try one of your recipes but I don't see any posted (or am I missing something) that includes shea butter in the base formula and I sure didn't want to ask. What is it that makes your bars appear somewhat - not translucent really but almost translucent? Is it the addition of glycerin or ? I've used varied recipes and some have come out almost chalky-looking. Its not ash or lye-heavy just lacking ANY translucence - as I see in so many others bars. Does that make sense? help

[@RedneckAngel98]

Got another question for you on doing this way when is the best way to at the streaic acid to it.

[@Sweetsoapsandmore]

I love watching your videos. Can you do one for liquid hand soap? I like your coconut one for dishes but I would like one for hands.

[@rosesandmorehats]

and did the lye/water have to be a certain temp to mix with base oils?

[@liliacerda4003]

Kim is this recipe for a single batch? Thank you 🙏

[@02271953me]

Oh we are brilliant. I too make most of my body/beauty & cleaning supplies. Don't want the chemicals, but I too possess a bottle of bleach. I need a kick to do research on selling to find out what I can/cant legally do and all that goes with it. I started w cp (now hp, thanks to you) and the curing period is so long & frustrating!! I'll have to get on it as I'm out of storage space. Thanks Kim! PS: What are you still doing up? Its late on the W coast (here) - even later there.

[@lorafontenot2729]

I enjoyed your video very much! You reminded me of home, running around with no shoes. (Florida, NY now) I've just started watching videos on how to make soap. I'm having trouble finding a soap I can live with. I liked this one sounds real good. Can it be made into a body wash? I'm not much on bar soap. But it sounded really,really good.

[@Monsterbrainfood]

What was your soap /crock pot doing while the super fats and honey were getting ready? Was it heated or cooling?

[@Sandifitzy23]

Hey Kim.. I added my lye to my frozen goats milk and then put that in my oils in the crock pot... (was that wrong)? it turned out fine...

[@tpackdinar]

hi, how many lbs of soap did you get with that recipe? and what size mold do I need to use? I'm new to the soap making world and I have so much goat that I need to use up I want to try making soap for my family. Thank you, I love your video I'm glad I found you

[@EssentialSoap]

michael sills I used my dad's molds which you can buy on my website and the silicone molds I get from essential depot. a double batch is around 6 pounds. which takes one of my dad's molds and two of the others

[@RedneckAngel98]

what is your mold considered like 4 pounds or what. Fixen to go dig in the wood pile and start building me one

[@tonyaadejokebutler-truesda9707]

thank you

[@sweetheartsmom]

Can I used coconut creme in place of goats milk?

[@ShahrzadJalilianSM]

Hi Kim, I can't find soy bean oil, Can I use castor Oil or veg oil? in ur video you said: 8 oz water & 10 oz S.H but in your recipes 6 and 8! which one i need to follow? thanks for your video ? your soap looks so nice.:)

[@chrisinreallife2022]

I know this is an old post and you don't have to use the very best base oil but I reallly hope you decidecd against vegetable, or "soybean" oil. After watching these videos I too used a lot of soybean and stuff in my recipe and they alway had an off smell, and then we just bit the bullet and started using better base oils as well as superfats and our soap got so much better reviews, and worked better, and people just appreciated that we were using better ingredients and not just the cheapest stuff we can find. We now get steady more for bar and most importantly I feel better knowing that even our base oils in our products are the good-quality our customers deserve. Castor oil, btw, is a great oil to add to your recipe as it helps other oils absorb so I hope you picked that!!!

[@Nyjhas]

how long do you let soap cure/ sit on shelf?

[@rosesandmorehats]

when did u turn on crock after add milk n oats?

[@RedneckAngel98]

should have put this with my question and you use olive oil pomace instead?

[@qmpoohbear97]

You are so funny to watch. I like this video. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)

[@mrigmaiden1]

Nice!

[@Court_king249]

Did I miss how much of the oils and what kind to start with? You had something in your crock that you added the water, lye and goats milk to.

I'M NEW TO SOAPING AND THE RECIPE U HAVE IN YOUR DESCRIPTION BOX IF DIFFERENT TO THE ONE YOU HAVE ON THE VIDEO...CAN YOU GET ME OUT OF CONFUSION PLS...

[@meadowhillfarmct]

I tried HP twice and by watching your video I realized I cook way to long. How long do you cook?

[@tp1575]

ok, we have allere to coconut everything, what can we use to substitute that oil? I know it's used in almost EVERY recipe. please help. I need it for shampoo bars as well.

[@tp1575]

allergies

[@earlenewill9772]

+Tracy Preston, In order to avoid coconut oil, all you need to do is do a little research online (or in some soaping books) to find a suitable substitute. Remember to always run any soap recipes through a lye calculator to get accurate lye: water amounts, especially when you are substituting oils. Also, coconut allergies are lumped in with nut tree allergies, so you may need to consider that when choosing your substitution oils. Although olive oil is a 'soft' oil, with a longer curing time, it does become quite hard, so you might find it useful to increase the olive oil in a recipe and lengthen your cure time for the soap. Of course you still need to use a lye calculator when adjusting your recipes. May I suggest doing small test batches whenever you try a new recipe. And careful documentation of your process. I have discovered that if I don't keep detailed notes on a new recipe, that I later can't duplicate a soap I made that I end up really loving. It only took once to discover that, but ever since I have been trying to re-discover that recipe!

[@Sandifitzy23]

forget it Kim.. finished watching.. got my answer...lol

How To make cream bars

[@RedneckAngel98]

[@RedneckAngel98]

Yes and I made you a video and posted it for you check it out

[@simoneedwards8015]

Hi Kim... sorry to ask maybe a silly question.. as far as I know... vegan don't use any ingredients that come from animals, on your vegan recipe you are using honey and milk... is that correct? Thank you very much... and sorry again for the question! 🤔

[@RedneckAngel98]

I used grapefruit in a dish soap I made and did not like it. You just could not smell it at all.

[@RebekahAnn42]

Your recipe you have printed and video do not match I am confused..of course it doesnt take much to confuse me....please clarify ..thank you ....

[@RedneckAngel98]

I also sent you a message so check your inbox thankso much

[@02271953me]

I think I am actually gettting up the nerve. Why so much self-doubt? I can picture just sitting there while people walk on by. Not an exciting mental image, ya know?? But gotta do something - can't keep buying and playing if I don't have the funds. darn. Have a good day, Kim!
