Breast milk soap

Question

Have you ladies ever made soap from your breast milk? I’ve bought 2lbs of glycerin soap base but I wanna hear some personal experiences with it. Any tips or things to avoid for best results? Also how do you store it once you’ve used it? Do you put it back in the fridge since it has milk or can it stay out?

Answer

I make cold process soap from scratch as my business, and though i don't use premade soap bases, I have read and heard that it is not recommended to add liquids, especially liquid milks (powdered is okay) to a melt and pour base because it will spoil. I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it, but I would try researching adding milk or liquids to melt and pour soap before trying it. I plan to make my own with my milk once baby arrives in a few months, and may offer to make batches for women with their own milk. If you know a small business who makes soaps from scratch that is local to you, then you might want to inquire about them making a custom batch for you with your milk as I know a good amount of soapmamers do it, but just may not advertise it as it can't be sold - not where i live anyway. Hope this helps 😊.
