vberkesch Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Good Day all, Question for you. I make ALL my soaps using Goat Milk as 1/2 of the liquid portion. Tell me - if I am soaping with 5% superfat, is my recipe really going to end up at more than a 5% superfat because of the Goat Milk?? Was wondering if a person should not superfat too high when using Goat Milk in their soaps because of the possibility of DOS? Thanks much, Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I use goats milk for all of my liquid and superfat at 5%. Fortunately, I have never had a case of DOS. I think as long as you stick with high oleic soft oils like safflower, sunflower and stay at reasonable percentages on canola or soy; you shouldn't have a problem with DOS.

adillenal Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I use 100% goat milk for all of my soaps and superfat at 5% with no issues. I actually used to superfat at 8% and I have a few bars from 3 years ago at that amount that are fine. The only time I EVER had DOS was with a 100% olive oil soap. So who knows.

HTHStevenot really true, lots of things cause DOS.. half of a batch of mine kept in a more humid room got DOS and I dont use any soy, or canola.. You should be fine with 5% superfat and GM, GM will add fat but not a signifigant amount, shouldnt push you over the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
