Coconuts, and coconuts, and oh yeah, COCONUTS!!

workin on a new recipe, ordered some coconut milk powder! Recipe will be Coconut Milk for the liquid base, Olive oil, cocoa butter, coconut oil and castor.

I sure love me some coconuts!!!! Can not wait to find out what you make!

I haven't tied coconut milk. Let us know what you think.

You will love it Kim. I sb it well into my lye water before I add the lye.

FYI health food stores often have cm powder, saves on the shipping cost for me.

I LOVE http://www.Sfherb.com I have been using them for years..they have a 430 minimum order, but all their stuff is so cheap and such good quality I always get so much more!

I got a pound of coconut milk powder or $7.05

Sb in lye water before lye................I did not know that!!! Can you do that with powdered milk too??? Nice site Kim.

oh yes, sugar, powdered milks, any thing like that should be stirred into the water befor ethe lye added, or it creates crystals and other "pockets"

I love coconut milk in soap! It seems to add to its bubbliness and conditioning, but I can't exactly quantify how. I always mix up the coconut milk and make sure it's smooth. Then, for the lye water, I just use a standard 50% solution, then I add the same weight of coconut milk as the lye into the soap after a couple of spins (but before trace).

It always seems to work for me, no matter how much guar gum they add to the coconut milk.

Sounds like you will have a great recipe! I love the site you posted
