Creamy Goat’s Milk Soap Recipe

Cold Process Soap | Approx. 2 lb batch (~9 bars) using raw goat milk

Base Oils (by weight)

  • • Olive Oil – 12 oz (45%)

  • • Coconut Oil (76°F) – 6 oz (22.5%)

  • • Sweet Almond Oil – 4 oz (15%)

  • • Jojoba Oil – 2 oz (7.5%)

  • • Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter – 2 oz (10%) (Optional but improves hardness and creaminess. If not using, increase olive oil to 14 oz.)

Liquid (Frozen Goat Milk)

• 7.2 oz (by weight) — Freeze into cubes or slush to prevent overheating during lye addition.

Lye (Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH)

• 3.1 oz (88 g) — 5% superfat. Always double-check with a lye calculator like SoapCalc to match your exact weights.

Optional Additives

  • • 1 tbsp colloidal oatmeal or kaolin clay for creaminess

  • • 1 tsp sodium lactate (for hardness – add to cooled lye solution)

  • • Essential oils or fragrance (about 1 oz total)

  • • Natural colorants if desired

Instructions

1. Freeze the Goat Milk: Pour goat milk into ice cube trays or freeze as a slush. This reduces risk of scorching.

2. Prepare Lye Solution: Place frozen goat milk in a container over an ice bath. Slowly sprinkle the lye over the cubes, stirring constantly. Keep temperature under 90°F to prevent burning the milk.

3. Melt the Oils: Gently melt coconut oil and optional butter, then add olive, almond, and jojoba oils. Let oils cool to around 90–100°F.

4. Blend to Trace: When both oils and lye-milk mixture are at similar temps (90–100°F), slowly combine. Stick blend to light trace.

5. Add Optional Ingredients: Mix in any essential oils, additives, or colorants.

6. Pour & Insulate Lightly: Pour into mold and insulate just enough to avoid gel phase. Overheating can darken milk soap.

7. Unmold & Cure: After 24–48 hours, unmold and slice. Cure in a well-ventilated area for 4–6 weeks.

✨ Notes

  • • Keep lye-milk mixture cold to preserve the light color and nutrients.

  • • Avoid full insulation if you want to skip gel phase.

  • • Goat Milk milk adds natural creaminess and moisture to your soap.

  • • Optional: Use 50/50 milk and distilled water for easier lye mixing, especially if new to milk soaps.
