Goat Milk Cold Process Soap
This recipe is just fab. I formulated it in approx 2006 and it’s still a hit with my clients. If you have access to fresh goat milk.. get it to freeze slightly in your freezer. If you have powdered goat milk.. mix it with water as directed on the tin. Then let it freeze slightly. It must have that icy look..shards of ice. But not solid ice.
1000 g pomace olive oil
350 ml goat milk (slightly frozen)
120 g caustic soda pearls
There is a particular reason why I prefer the milk to be slightly frozen..the fatty acids in the milk heat up really fast when the caustic is added to it.. so just to not let the goat milk be “burnt” I prefer it slightly frozen. you will notice that it will turn an orange colour when you have mixed the caustic with it.. that is normal..it will change in colour as it cures. You cannot go wrong with this recipe. I let this cure for 7 weeks.. but heck it is worth the wait.

Pure Castille Soap
If you are calling your soap pure castille soap and its not made with this ..then you should not be selling your product as pure castille soap. Unfortunately the product castille soap has been left for ease of exploitation. Termed as natural, pure, well.. this recipe is really what it is. Pure castille soap. It is not supposed to be clear. It must be cured for at least 8 weeks. before use.
