Creamy Goat Milk Cold Process Soap
Oils (1,000 g total)
400 g Olive Oil (40%)
300 g Coconut Oil (30%)
200 g Sustainable Palm Oil (20%)
100 g Castor Oil (10%)
Lye Solution
143g.67. Sodium Hydroxide
280 g Frozen Goat Milk (100% of the liquid)
Optional Additives
20 g Colloidal Oatmeal
10 g Honey (dissolved in a little warm goat milk)
Method
Freeze the goat milk into ice cubes.
Slowly sprinkle the sodium hydroxide into the frozen goat milk while stirring continuously. Keep the temperature below 30°C to prevent scorching and discoloration.
Melt the coconut and palm oils, then add the olive and castor oils.
Allow both the oils and lye solution to cool to 30-35°C.
Pour the lye solution into the oils and blend to a light trace.
Add the colloidal oatmeal, honey (if using), Mix well.
Pour into the mould and smooth the top.
Because goat milk soap can overheat, do not insulate the mould. Place it in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours if your room is warm.
Unmould after 24-48 hours and cut into bars.
Cure for 4-6 weeks before use.
Tips
Always add the lye to the frozen goat milk, never the other way around.
Keeping the milk cold helps preserve its creamy colour and reduces ammonia odour.
Wear appropriate safety equipment (gloves, eye protection, and long sleeves) when handling sodium hydroxide.
This recipe produces a hard, creamy, conditioning bar with excellent lather that is ideal for sensitive or dry skin.
