Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 , I DO! I DO! I do almond milk - I have one soap that I use almond milk in - I make the almond milk up fresh and then use that and YES you are right about it not reacting the same as other milk soaps. Although - I have found that if my oils are not melted and cooled to temperature - the almond milk will react with the lye and you will end up with lye custard before you mix into the oils - so if you do this - do the oils first and cool them - then do the lye and almond milk - I do full strength almond milk - my last batch I used a lighter olive oil and the bars were nearly white (I usually have bars more on the yellowish side or more off white - these turned out sooooo pretty. I usually leave them unscented - HOWEVER - I got some sample oils from Suzy at Oregon Trails today and her bitter almond is (In my opinion) TO DIE FOR!! I am anxious now to get another batch of almond milk going so I can experiment with the fo. I got some other samples from her today and she is one to think about doing co-ops with also. Of course, I stick with co-ops on containers (like tins) and salts (like dead sea) - I will leave the oils to someone MUCH more experienced - Like - maybe or Cricket!! a Silver Creek Soap Co.
