Preparation Of Goat Milk Soap

If you plan to make a goat milk soap at home, you need fresh goat milk. It is not advised to use powdered goat milk. When the milk is powdered, most of the nutrients are lost. Thus, powdered milk is not favoured. This method users the cold process for making the goat milk soap.

Steps For Making Goat Milk Soap

• Wear gloves, goggles, and long sleeves when working. Make sure that the area where you are working is well ventilated
• Measure out your goat milk and distilled water. Add lye to your distilled water. Let the lye solution cool to 95 degrees

Measure out all your oils. I measure out my solid oils & melt them. Then I add my liquid oils at room temperature.  Once everything is about 95 degrees (except for the goat milk) I slowly pour the lye solution into the oils. I break the fall of the lye solution with a spatula to air introducing air bubbles (sometimes I add sodium lactate to my lye solution after it has reached the temperature I am looking for)

Then I add the milk the same way very carefully to avoid air bubbles   Sometimes I pour the ingredients down the shaft of my stick blender

Be careful when you add your stick blender, you will need to burp it. If you just stick it in and use it, there will be trapped air that will be added to your batter.  You don’t want air bubbles.

Mix with a stick blender for a few seconds. Stir a lot. Then check to see if the batter is fully incorporated.  If it is not fully incorporates mix with the stick blender again for a few seconds and then stir for 30 seconds to a minute. Then check to see that your batter is incorporated. Repeat this process until your batter is fully incorporated

• You shouldn’t have any air bubble, but if you do firmly tap you bowl to eliminate air bubbles.

If you want to add colors this is a good time. I use titanium dioxide for white, charcoal and black oxide for black and mostly micas for colors. I disperse  the colors in a small amount of oil and make sure they are fully mixed.

Once your colors are mixed you can add fragrance or an essential oil.

• Use a spatula make sure that the soap is spread evenly in the mold.

I preheat my oven to 300 degrees. I turn the oven off before I load my soap into the oven. I leave the light on in the oven so no o e will attempt to use it. I leave in it the oven to gel at least 12 hours,

Once the soap has cooled, I unmold and cut. The soap is then put on a rack to dry for 4-6 weeks.   Once it has stopped losing weight it is ready to cool.

• Your soap is ready to use.
