Creamy Goat Milk Soap

Let’s jump right into the details of making this delightful soap! To start, gather all your ingredients and tools. This recipe is straightforward, and you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to create a bar of soap that you’ll love.

Ingredients:

12 oz goat milk (frozen, to prevent scorching)
10 oz olive oil
10 oz coconut oil
10 oz palm oil
4.5 oz lye (sodium hydroxide)
2 oz essential oil (optional, for fragrance)
Colorants (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare your workstation. Make sure you have all your ingredients and tools handy. Safety first! Put on your gloves and goggles to protect yourself from lye, as it can be caustic.
Start by measuring out 12 ounces of goat milk and freeze it in ice cube trays. This will help prevent the milk from scorching when you mix it with lye.
Once the goat milk is frozen, measure out your lye. Carefully add the lye to the frozen goat milk while stirring gently. It’s crucial to do this in a well-ventilated area, as it will produce fumes.
Let the lye milk solution cool while you melt your oils. Measure out the olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil into a pot. Gently heat until fully melted and combined.
When both the lye mixture and the oils are around the same temperature (ideally between 100°F - 110°F), slowly combine them. Using an immersion blender, mix until the batter reaches “trace,” which means it has thickened enough to leave a trail when drizzled.
If you want to add colorants or essential oils, now’s the time! Stir gently to incorporate.
Pour the mixture into a soap mold and cover it with a towel to insulate it. Allow the soap to saponify for 24-48 hours.
After the soap has hardened, remove it from the mold and cut it into bars. Let the bars cure in a cool, dry place for 4-6 weeks before using.

Once cured, enjoy the benefits of your handcrafted creamy goat milk soap! It’s gentle, nourishing, and truly a treat for your skin. Gift it to friends or keep it all to yourself—you deserve it!
