Homemade Hydrating Milk Soap
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of DairyPure Milk. All opinions are 100% mine.
Milk is full of many great and beneficial proteins聽like聽lactic acid which is proven to calm and hydrate, leaving your skin softer. That’s why so many beauty products are made with milk.
- 12oz DairyPure milk
- 4.3oz Lye
- 22oz Olive oil
- 8oz Coconut oil
- 1oz Castor oil
Directions:
1. Freeze milk in ice trays to prevent burning proteins. This works best with natural milk with less additives.
2. Wearing gloves and goggles, add lye to frozen milk. Stir until dissolved
3. In heavy duty container, combine oils.
4. Drizzle lye mixture into oils. Blend 4 or 5 minutes until your聽batter is thick enough to hold聽its shape.
5. You may add聽oats, scent or聽coloring now, if desired. Pour soap batter into聽mold.
6. Let cure. Let sit at room temperature for 24 hours聽for a browner soap. Place in freezer for for 24 hours, then at room temperature 24 more hours for a whiter soap.
7. Un-mold soap and slice into bars. The longer they cure, the more solid they will get.

This type of soap is great for people like myself and my grandson that suffer from eczema. It keeps our skin hydrated and isn’t drying. I buy this kind of soap especially for him because his is really bad.
