Before making breastmilk soap read this first!
- First of all, prepare all your ingredients. If you are getting the Soap Lab Breast Milk kit, everything is already provided for you. All you need is an egg beater, and some containers and bowls, digital scales, and of course your breast milk. Make sure your workspace is on an open area with no kids and pets running around. Put newspapers on your surface area incase of lye/ NaOH spill. It’s very corrosive! Also, WEAR GLOVES at all time!
- Measure your ingredients according to the attached recipe in the Kit
- Measure your milk. For milks, it’s advisable to measure the milk, and freeze the milk. The reason is because when lye mixes with liquid, it becomes very very hot. At times it goes up to 100 degrees! So now; you don want to burn the milk, so freeze it, put it in an iced water bath, and pour the lye in slowly. If you have a thermometer; use it. Make sure the lye-milk solution doesn't go above 40 degrees.
- Pour the lye-milk solution into the oil mixture measured earlier.
- Mix it using an egg beater (it takes a long time before it reaches trace- pudding like consistency. so if you going to be a soaper after this, its advisable to get a hand blender)
- After sometime your soap will reach 'trace' it looks like pudding. This means your oil and water has emulsified. You can now pour your soap into the mold provided.
- Unmold after 24 hours (I prefer to unmold while its still slightly soft around 15 hours. easier to cut), Leave it for 3-4 weeks to harden, and Tada! Your soap is ready to be used!
RM 79 each ( can make two times; about 6-7 bars of soap each time)

ReplyDeleteHi. Well for soap base since its ready made you can't really put in much BM or any other liquid. Maks would be about a tablespoon/kg or it might get soft:-(
