ok so i'm having a great time making some facial salt soaps....

i've been doing a blend of 50 percent distilled water plus extras in lye solution... then 50 percent goat milk plus extras at trace. description doesn't differentiate.

but now i've fortified my goat milk trace solution with extra goat milk powder so that it's twice more goat milk than normal goat's milk would be. i know it's not the real fresh thing but...

how the heck do i describe this? it's more concentrated goat milk total than it would be if it were 100 percent goat milk liquid.

i want to be truthful in advertising, so i'm confused :(
 
Are you talking about in the name, or on the label? On the label, "coconut oil, fresh goat's milk, goat's milk powder, fragrance oil" etc is fine for ingredients.

But for the name, I don't think you can have 150% goat's milk! :mrgreen:
 
If it's concentrated and has enough to be a full dose of goat's milk, then you can advertise it as goatsmilk soap. Think like when you buy orange juice, a lot of it is diluted concentrate, and it's still real orange juice. Concentrates count as the real thing; they just need to be diluted to be "full strength," if that makes sense. So I think you're fine.

I think that works for ingredients labeling, but perhaps it could be promoted as "Double Goat's Milk" soap?
 
Perhaps double strength goat milk? Or super concentrated? I use fresh GM that I've frozen so I've not come up against it.
