I love how moisturizing soap is make with fresh goat's milk. This is a recipe I found that is easy to make, and works everytime. Everyone I give this soap to comes back asking for more.
Cold Process Goats Milk Soap
Makes 4 lbs.
following basic cold process method.
8 oz. distilled water (cold)
8 oz. goat milk (cold/frozen)
6.5 oz. lye (sodium hydroxide)
8 oz. palm oil
17 oz. coconut 76° oil
17 oz. olive oil
1 oz grapefruit seed extract
2-3 ozs. essential oil
I did learn a trick to prevent the discoloration that you normally see using milk. I mix the water and lye first, putting the bowl in an ice bath. This keeps it cooler, add the lye slowly, dissolving completely before adding more lye. Then add the frozen milk, broken into pieces. Once milk is melted into lye mixture, add to oils. At trace add other ingredients.
