Simple 4lb Batch

4 ounces Castor Oil
1 ounce Cocoa Butter
18 ounces Coconut Oil (76 degree)
9 ounces Pomace Olive Oil (virgin or any other olive oil can be substituted)
9 ounces Palm Oil
2 ounces Shea Butter
25 ounces Vegetable Shortening

10.07 ounces lye
36.12 ounces Semi Frozen Goat Milk

Add lye into milk very slowly - 3 ounces at a time.
Stir and stir and stir between additions.
Once all lye is in Goat Milk - and Milk and Oil are both at approx. 105 degrees, Stir Stir Stir - use spatula to take soap off sides of bowl to ensure your soap has been evenly mixed together.
Once soap is at a light trace, add oatmeal into soap mixture.
Stir Stir Stir!
Once oatmeal has been fully stirred in, you may either pour into molds for an unscented product, or add in 2 ounces of FO or EO.
If you add in scent, make sure you once again Stir Stir Stir until all fragrance oils have been properly dispatched throughout your soap base. Then pour into molds, add a cover (wax paper, a towel, etc....) and set for 24 hrs, or until properly hardened.
Remove from molds and let sit on a drying rack to cure/dry for at least 4 weeks before use.
We let our soaps set from 6 to 8 weeks.
Then....Enjoy your Goat Milk Soaps!!

How to make Goat Milk Soaps with any recipe:

The recipe you're already using can be switched from water based to milk based.

Take the amount of water you're normally using and substitute that for milk.

Freeze the milk until its very slushy.

Take the milk out of the freezer and put into a glass bowl.

Fill your kitchen sink with ice water (make sure you're not over flowing the GM with water though) and set your milk/bowl in the sink.

At this time make sure you're oils are ready for the lye/gm

Measure out your lye.

Slowly add a little bit of the lye into the cold GM & stir.

Wait until the milk has cooled and add a little bit more lye. Repeat until all your lye is in the goat milk.

Don't add all of the lye at once or you might burn (or curdle) the milk and you'll have to throw it out.

When the GM has reached the same temps as your oils, proceed to mix the lye/milk mixture in with your oils.

And there you go....

you now have goat milk soap.

GM soaps may take a little longer then water based soaps to cure/harden.

Peppermint Snowflake Soap

(Makes 6-8 Snowflakes)
Materials Needed:

- 1/2 cup Ocean Blue coloured Glycerin Soap Chunks
- Peppermint Essential Oils
- 3 cups White Glycerin Soap (melted)
Star Metal Loaf Mold (can find in Michael's or any craft store).

Instructions:

1. Melt White Soap Cubes in the microwave for 30 seconds on high, then 10 second intervals until completely melted. (may vary with microwaves)
2. Add 5-10 drops of Peppermint Essential Oils and then adjust to preference.
3. Ensure base of Metal Loaf Mold is secure. Pour 1/2" of soap into the mold and allow to cool to seal the base of the mold.
4. Stir the soap slowly, allowing the soap to cool and become thicker. This will prevent the cubes from melting and from sinking to the bottom. Add the Ocean Blue Glycerin Soap Cubes and stir.
5. Pour into the Metal Loaf Mold. Leave approx. 1/2" from the top of the mold for easier release. Let cool completely.
6. Placing the soap in the freezer for a few minutes can quicken the process and assist you in removing the soap from the mold.
7. Cut loaf into slices about 1" thick.
8. Using a small craft knife, cut out small diamonds in each point of your star slice. Repeat this step for each soap slice. Enjoy over the holidays!
