How to Make Organic Goat Milk Soap

Organic goat milk soap offers a natural and less-abrasive form of cleansing bar. Organic soap purchased at a store is far more expensive than the materials required for making multiple bars at home. Organic goat milk soap aids in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. Light essential oil scent can be added to the soap and oatmeal mix if desired. This recipe yields eight to 14 bars of soap.

Things You'll Need

• 15 oz. organic olive oil
• 5 oz. organic palm oil

• 8 oz. goat milk
• 1/2 cup organic oatmeal
• 1 oz. lavender or lilac essential oil for fragrance (optional)

Instructions

1. Purchase molds. Chocolate or candy-making molds are permissible for use in soap making. Do not reuse molds for chocolate making once used in the soap making process.

2. Combine 1/2 cup organic oatmeal with 1 oz. fragrance oil, and set aside. Lavender or lilac scent recommended.

3. Mix all remaining soap base materials together in a stainless steel bowl.

4. Heat inside a slow cooker on medium heat until melting occurs. Do not reuse the slow cooker for food preparation.

5. Mix fragrance mixture into the slow cooker.

6. Pour soap mix into molds once it is warm enough to handle safely.

7. Cool soap mix for 24 hours. Remover from molds and use. Clean molds with warm water, dry and store.
