Milk is full of many great and beneficial proteins like 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 batter is thick enough to hold its shape.
5. You may add oats, scent or coloring now, if desired. Pour soap batter into mold.
6. Let cure. Let sit at room temperature for 24 hours 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.

I have always wanted to make my own soap! This sounds like a soap that will replenish my skin.

I never tried to make my own soap before! Handling lye sounds dangerous!
