Basic Soap Recipe
Solid Soap · NaOH · 100 g oil load · 5% superfat · 4 views · 0 saves
Sometimes I add a scoop or two of powdered goat milk to the melted oils before mixing in the lye water to create a simple goat milk soap. The high lard content makes this a very slow-moving recipe which can be great for swirls. This is not a soap making tutorial. This is merely a recipe. It is the responsibility of anyone attempting this recipe to understand and apply safe soap making practices.
