I would like to ask about the milk soap formula from the sample formula [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B6%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A7/858-oil-milk-soap.html:3q3jwyt6]สบู่น้ำนม[/url:3q3jwyt6]. The formula is: [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/27-%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B4:3q3jwyt6]Any natural oil[/url:3q3jwyt6] 80%, [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B6%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A7/858-oil-milk-soap.html:3q3jwyt6]Oil Milk™[/url:3q3jwyt6] 20%. Can we mix these directly without other steps like mixing order or temperature control? Will the resulting soap be clear with no sediment? I like L’occitane shower oil which is clear, not very viscous, feels warm initially upon contact, turns milky with water, and has very little foam. Will this milk soap have similar characteristics? Also, please advise on the ratio if I want to mix [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B4/120-grape-seed-oil-%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%87%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%B8%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%99.html:3q3jwyt6]Grape Seed[/url:3q3jwyt6] and sweet almond oil?

Answer
Milk Soap Formulation with Oil Milk™
Based on the sample formula and the properties of Oil Milk™ (Laureth-4), you can indeed create a milk soap similar to the L'occitane shower oil you like.
Here are the answers to your questions:
Mixing Process: Yes, you can mix the ingredients together directly. The Oil Milk™ is designed to be mixed with the oil part of the formula. There is no specific requirement for heating or complex steps mentioned for this basic formulation.
Resulting Soap Characteristics: The description for Oil Milk™ confirms that when this type of soap comes into contact with water, it will turn milky white. It is also noted to produce little foam, which aligns with the characteristics of the L'occitane shower oil you described. The mixture of natural oils and Oil Milk™ will be a clear liquid before it mixes with water.
Ratio of Grape Seed and Sweet Almond Oil: The sample formula suggests using 80% of "any kind" of natural oil. You can mix Grape Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil in any ratio you prefer to make up this 80%. Both oils are excellent for skin care. For example, you could use:
- 40% NaturalProfile™ Grape Seed Oil (Cold-Pressed)
- 40% NaturalProfile™ Sweet Almond Oil (Cold-Pressed)
- 20% Laureth-4 (Oil Milk™)
You can adjust the ratio of Grape Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil based on your preference for their individual skin benefits. Grape Seed Oil is known for its antioxidant properties and suitability for oily skin, while Sweet Almond Oil is highly moisturizing and good for dry or sensitive skin.
Simply combine your chosen natural oils (totaling 80%) with 20% Oil Milk™ and mix well.
