Making Oatmeal, Milk & Honey swirled soap using Goats' milk and colouring naturally with Annatto

- Today we are creating the second of our January release soaps. This design will be available to purchase in limited numbers through our website from January 1st 2021.
Today's soap is "Oatmeal, Milk & Honey" soap. It is scented using a safe, synthetic fragrance oil (without parabens or phthalates) and it smells gorgeous. We are creating the soap using Goat's Milk in place of part of our water weight and we are also adding in some honey and topping the bar with Oats to tie the scent and ingredients all together.
We will be creating a very simple in the pot swirl to add a little detailing to this soap. We shall be using Annatto to naturally colour a portion of the soap yellow and then using this yellow portion to add a subtle swirl to the finished bars.
We are using the 5lb loaf mold from Bramble Berry to create this design and this is the recipe that we used to fill our mold:
218g Sodium Hhydroxide
240g Water
240g Goats' Milk (Frozen)
680g Olive Oil
198g Sweet Almond Oil
114g Castor Oil
368g Coconut Oil
150g Shea Butter
76g Cocoa Butter
0.5g Annatto
12g Honey
5g Oats
40g Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Fragrance Oil

Hello Renee! Thank you and welcome to our channel :-)
Another amazing video and a lovely product. I would love to know whether you leave the soap to set? Do you put it in the fridge, or keep it outside and cover it with towels? Or no towels.
Verry nice soap love the color A while ago you made some uncolored soap dough and you said you will make another one to show how to color the dough did I mist that video or it is to come soon
🌷🌷🌷
I’m going to give this a go, have a link to the mold? Thanks for the video 👌
Another fantastic video Anne! Thank you so much for posting it! :)
I have a question for you about using goat milk in soap...my husband and I raise Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats which have the highest amount of butterfat of all goat breeds...often up to 9% butterfat! I've noticed when I'm making full goat milk soap (no water) with milk from some of our girls who produce higher butterfat than our other girls, I often end up with "grainy/gritty" lye solution that ends up leaving some grainy patches in the finished soap. It's definitely not lye pockets from undissolved lye beads, so from the little information I've been able to find online, I think the grainy/gritty stuff are fat particles that saponify in the lye when the frozen milk is added. If possible, I really want to stick with 100% milk in the soap, and not add water, so wondering if I should skim the fat off the milk before freezing it, or reduce the super fat % in my recipe when using particularly high fat milk. Or maybe just use milk from our girls who don't produce the really fatty milk, lol! Do you have any insight, or experience with this issue? Thanks again and much love from Texas! :)
Wow, it is lovely and really interesting to read about how you raise your Goats and use their milk to make soap. I would love to be able to do something similar but unfortunately don't have the space to have my own Goats (maybe one day if I am lucky!) Unfortunately I don't have much experience with the issue you are describing, though I do remember a conversation I had with a Lady who raised her own Goats and she said their milk wasn't the best for making soap with because of their high butterfat, so I am thinking she may have had the same issue as you. Skimming off the fat does sound to me like an idea that may work, but that is only going on instinct and not on any actual factual knowledge I am afraid! If you do work out a solution to this please let me know as I find it fascinating to learn about things like this! :-)
Just curious….Have you ever tried making your lye with your 50% water and then adding your milk to the oils? I’ve seen other soap makers doing it. This way they didn’t have to freeze the milk, and the lye didn’t caramelize the milk.
I don't have all the oils that you use. Can I substitute if I get the amounts the same? I have shay, lard coconut and olive oils.
Didnt sound overly exciting when you introduced it, but you have produced a lovely looking soap, the flowers look really good, the yellow inside the soap looks really vibrant., will that fade a little as it dries ?? good looking soap all round, well done xx
Funny you should say that, as when I initially thought of this design I did think it was going to be a little boring! However I totally love how they have turned out! The yellow may fade a little as it cures but we do find that annatto doesn't fade too much, so hopefully it will still be quite vibrant. xx
What a lovely soap, may I ask where you got the cutesy flower mold from.
Thank you :-) The mold was bought a few years ago now but from memory it was an ebay purchase, I can't remember the name of the seller unfortunately.
Will the Oats at the top of the soaps get moldy before it cure?
excuse me , i am cheese maker so how can i use the whey from cheese making to make natural soap ? thanks in advance
Hi I am new to soap making and love your videos can you tell what size soap mould you use please
Hi Debe and thank you for your comment :-) We use Bramble Berry's 5lb wooden mold with the sliding bottom! It measures 17.1" in length by 3.5" in width by 2.75" height. Good luck with your soap making adventure :-)
è veramente delizioso, i fiorellini di che materiale sono fatti?
Grazie
Thank you! The flowers are also cold process soap. We prepared them in advance in a small, silicon mould. They are coloured with Anatto.
Hello,I am your new subscriber and I love all your videos. I have one doubt, did u incorporate remaining 240gms of water in goat milk, total amount of goat milk you used - 240 gms. What is the proportion of goat milk excluding water.. plz guide...
Hello and welcome to our channel! The total amount of Goat Milk that we used in this recipe was 240g. The recipes are all detailed in the description of the video if you ever need to check anything :-)
Hello, my name is Alya and i'm from Indonesia. Is it ok to use unrefined sheabutter?
Hello Alya. Unrefined Shea Butter will technically be absolutely fine to use. However, as unrefined shea butter has quite a strong scent some people do find that this scent carries through into the final soap bars (this is why we choose to use refined). By all means test it and see if you like it though as using unrefined shea will not cause any problems with the actual make up of the recipe.
Can you please pot the measurements for each item
The measurements are in the description box :-)
Does the oats on the top go funny after a while?
