I find that there's something about the smell I'm not loving right now, but I know that I'll get over it, because I really love coconut milk in my morning spinach / protein powder shake :)<br /><br />Using only a smaller percentage of milk will help me get back into using milk again. I only hear great things about milk soaps, and I know I will figure it out!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018524278491671931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510863768971739632.post-32956732746939698042013-01-28T18:51:39.056-06:002013-01-28T18:51:39.056-06:00You may have tried this already, but if you really...You may have tried this already, but if you really have your heart set on using coconut milk, you could do half water (enough to dissolve your lye) and then add the other half as coconut milk added to the oils the same time as your lye solution. That's how I ended up using the cream...I know it's not the same as using 100% milk though, but it's a good compromise for those tricky milks! =)Ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894195914088348516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510863768971739632.post-65869953269435838122013-01-27T20:58:05.481-06:002013-01-27T20:58:05.481-06:00Thanks!

I think I'm going to leave coconut milk alone, even though I keep reading about how successful it is in soaps when others work with it :) I will likely try cream again, but I will definitely use it in a lower % and with a little more patience. Milk soaps are nice, and I'm sure with a little more work (and time), I will conquer them!!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018524278491671931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510863768971739632.post-34873691035928600152013-01-27T19:18:00.446-06:002013-01-27T19:18:00.446-06:00Love those soaps Chrissy, and what an adorable lit...Love those soaps Chrissy, and what an adorable little stamp! I haven't had much luck either with coconut milk, it always turns bright orange no matter how much I try to keep it cool. I have also read that using 100% heavy cream in the soap is not a good idea because all the extra fat could spoil the soap. I did recently make one with 100% cream, but I will probably only use up to 1/2 cream from now on. Milk soaps are so nice to use, aren't they?Ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894195914088348516noreply@blogger.com
