I'm thinking about trying a 100% goat tallow soap, no colorants, no fragrances, just for the experiment of it.
Today I trimmed all of the fat I wanted off of the goat meat I processed on Monday. I got 7.7lbs of tallow off one goat! I can't wait to get it rendered and making soap out of it!
I use goat milk in almost all of my soaps, so I will definitely use is in this one this one too!I’m interested in how that turns out, @MellonFriend! Could you add goat milk and have a double goat soap, or goat 2 ways soap?

From someone who raises goats & makes goat milk soap, I would LOVE to know how that soap turns out! I use to process my goats but now that my Export certification is in place, I no longer have to!Today I trimmed all of the fat I wanted off of the goat meat I processed on Monday. I got 7.7lbs of tallow off one goat! I can't wait to get it rendered and making soap out of it!
I'll be sure to make a thread on it when I get around to it! I loved the goat tallow in recipes I've made before, but I've never tried it at 100%. I think it will be an interesting experiment!
, some herbalicious from the rosemary and eucalyptus, a bit of zippiness from the peppermint and a little zing (
) from the bergamot. I’m keeping my fingers crossed on the design because my palm-based recipe started moving right along before I added the eos.
We require photographic proof, doncha know.I finally got around to making soap using the eo Winter Blend by @Zing It smells fantastic for the holidays, with hints of cedarwood and fir
Just out of the mold and in the raw… Despite how thick the batter was, I managed to create some swirls without making too, too many holes. Plus, it smells nice
Thanks @AliOop I was trying for a muted look and used oxides and a little green clay instead of mica.Beautiful colors and swirls, there, @Mobjack Bay!
My soapy thing is to take all that tallow I rendered awhile back, that has been sitting in my garage fridge, and run it through some cleaning rounds to make it whiter, less odiferous, water free, and ROE-treated, all so it can be stored at room temp. The incentive is that family is arriving on Tuesday for Thanksgiving, and I need the fridge space - for food!
). Those didn’t work so today I tried again, only today I decided to use my 5-lb silicon mold so that I could be one & done instead of making multiple batches of single cavity soaps. Only problem is that I don’t have a wood mold to put the silicon liner in! What to do???? Inspiration struck and after a little redneck ingenuity, I came up with this lovely mold. Amazon to the rescue again! 
You’ll have to name it The GOAT!I use goat milk in almost all of my soaps, so I will definitely use is in this one this one too!
