Our carefully crafted formulation centers around nutrient-rich goat’s milk, prized for its gentle, moisturizing properties that leave skin feeling soft and supple. This soap is made with fresh goats milk sourced from happy goats, ensuring high quality and natural nourishment. When making goat's milk soap, it is important to control the temperature by freezing the milk or soaping at room temperature to preserve the soap’s creamy color and gentle scent. We carefully scent and prepare each batch to differentiate it from other soap recipes.

Combined with premium lavender essential oil, known for its calming and soothing qualities, this soap delivers a balanced blend of nourishment and relaxation. We also include lavender essential oils for their aromatherapy benefits, promoting relaxation and mental wellbeing, and carefully select essential oils to achieve the desired scent profile. It’s important to note that floral essential oils like lavender can accelerate trace during soap making, so be prepared for a faster thickening process when adding these oils.

Nourishing oils and butters such as olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter are included in the recipe. These solid oils are gently heated until completely melted, then blended with liquid oils during the soapmaking process. Melting the oils gently is important to achieve a uniform liquid form. After the oils are combined, you mix essential oils or mica powders thoroughly into the soap batter to ensure even distribution. Stirring gently ensures all ingredients are well incorporated, helps avoid introducing air bubbles, and the soap batter reaches the right consistency.

Distilled water is used to ensure purity and stability in the soap base. For the cold-process method, a lye solution is prepared by dissolving lye crystals in water or milk, and the lye mixture is cooled to the proper temperature before mixing with the oils. You stir the lye solution until the crystals are fully dissolved, and later stir the soap batter to achieve the right consistency before pouring. When handling lye, always wear eye protection such as goggles to prevent injury from splashes or fumes. When using goat’s milk, freezing it into ice cubes before adding to the lye helps control temperature and prevents scorching, resulting in a bright, gentle soap.

The entire recipe can be adjusted for different preferences, such as making it vegan or using a goat’s milk soap base for a melt-and-pour method. A goat's milk soap base can be used in both melt-and-pour and cold process methods, and using goat milk in the base provides a creamy, gentle bar suitable for sensitive skin. There is often little difference in texture or outcome when making certain substitutions, so the final product remains high quality. Careful temperature control is maintained to ensure all ingredients are combined at the right temperature for optimal results.

The cold-process method preserves the natural benefits of these wholesome ingredients, creating a conditioning bar with a creamy, luxurious lather that feels light yet deeply hydrating on the skin.

Each bar is shaped using a soap mold. When pouring the soap into the mold, pour slowly and consider pouring against a spoon or through a fine-mesh sieve to minimize air bubbles for a smoother bar. Once the finished soap has cured, cure it in an airy space away from direct sunlight to ensure proper drying, then wrap it in plastic wrap to help preserve freshness between uses.
