Forest Hill Candles Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi all..... I have been making soy candles for 4 yrs. Got interested in Bath and Body . Have been pouring M&P soap and lotion for about a year. Love it. Now I have the bug to make CP soap. I am collecting my materials to start my new adventure, as I wait for everything to arrive, I am researching and reading everything I can get my hands on about CP. I did a search for my question, and started reading threads from the beginning of this forum, came up with nothing, so I apologize if this question has been asked before, but here goes......can I add yogurt to a CP recipe?TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomara Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I do and I love it. I have made regular, goats milk and soy milk yogurt soaps. I treat it like I would regular milk. I use the half and half method (half water with your lye..then half yogurt at trace). I am sure there are more ways to do this, this is just what I do and works well for me. The soaps are so creamy and my skin loves it.I also use Aloe juice instead of water. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Hill Candles Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Another question????? Adding the (room temp)? yogurt with trace. I mix the lye and water per recipe and add the yogurt in place of an oil at trace..... Sorry so many questions......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomara Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I use the yogurt straight from the fridge. It doesnt replace an oil. Use your full oils from your recipe. Just half water (with lye), and half yogurt (at trace). HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
