Oh! lol ok i can explain this. Soaps are made with 2 parts a "base" (this is the formulia, you don't make any adjustments, substitutions or changes here, it's like canning, you fast and loose it, you can get hurt), and additives, this is the colorants, scents, extras (oatmeal, seeds, teas, what have you). Most sites will offer a "base" racipie, and they it's up to the soapmaker to determine scents and color add-ins. Example, you can pour a bottle of food-grade mint extract and 8 drops of green food coloring and make a mint bar. I use 2 bases, one is a refined clear base, the other is a creamy silky opaque one, the color and scent differances are all based on dye and scent oil choices. let me know how many pounds of soap you're making and i can give a suggest scent amount per LB of soap.
Oh, Okay great. The recipe I found to make Goats Milk Soap is 2 lbs. Now I am just trying to find how much of additives to add. Such as oil, & Herbs.
All the recipes I am finding are not Goats milk soap. Thanks to everyone for there help. You guys have all been very helpful.
Like beer and champange soap, milk soaps MUST be made COLD, like slushy smoothie cold. The milk can cause superheating and that's dangerious (i've had beer soap go from 34 F to boiling at room temp). You may want to do a small non-milk batch first, to get the steps right first. for 2lbs you'd put in 1/2 bottle of food grade extract (skip citrus, they're not strong enough to survive the lye), or about 1/2 oz in soap scents (some are stronger than others, but some scent is mellowed in curing). for colorants you'll want special high-ph soap dyes, food colors will do interesting things, blue turns purples. Yellow or green food dye will keep clors.
