How to Make Goat Milk Soap
Homemade soap can be a welcome addition
to anyone’s bathing routine, especially for someone with sensitive skin.
Goat milk soap is a very moisturizing, soft soap and not that difficult
to make. Follow some simple instructions and make goat milk soap for
home use or to give away as gifts.
Instructions
1. Prepare soap molds. Soap molds can be
found at most crafts stores. Don’t use molds for soap that will be used
for food later. Grease the molds well with Vaseline.
2. Melt 1½ half pounds of fat; this can
be lard, tallow or even vegetable shortening. This should cool to a
temperature between 85 to 90 degrees.
3. Carefully pour out
6.5 oz. lye into a paper cup. Use a stainless steel bowl, again being
sure to have one for making soap only and not to be used for food. Add 3
cups of goat’s milk and slowly add the lye. Mix this with an old hand
mixer set aside for soap making. This will cause a chemical reaction
that makes the mixture hot and causes the milk to turn golden. Let the
mixture cool to 85 degrees. A dairy thermometer can be used to check the
temperature.4. Mix together 2 oz. of glycerine, 1 cup of baby oatmeal and 2 tsp. of borax. Add this to the fat and then add the mixture to the lye and milk. Use the mixer for 15 minutes and then let the soap mixture rest for 5 minutes. Mix again for 5 minutes and let rest again for another 5 minutes. Keep doing this until the soap noticeably changes consistency.
5. Pour the soap mixture into the molds.
Cover the top of the molds with a cloth such as cheesecloth. Keep the
soap at a constant room temperature for 24 hours.
6. Peel off cloth and take soap out of
molds. If using a big mold, cut into bar-sized pieces. Let the soap cure
by air-drying it for a month to 6 weeks before using or giving away.
