Things You'll Need

• 1 cup goats milk powder
• 1/4 cup soapweed extract
• 1/4 cup honey powder
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 2 qt. glass bowls (2)
• 1/4 cup vitamin E oil
• 1/4 cup sodium bicarbonate
• 1 cup distilled water
• Hand mixer
• 20 oz. bottle

Instructions

1. Add the powdered ingredients to one glass bowl. This includes the goat milk powder, soapweed extract and honey powder.

2. Stir in the distilled water. Microwave the bowl on high for four minutes to get it hot.

3. Add the coconut and vitamin E oils to the other glass bowl. Vitamin E oil preserves and emulsifies this formula. Microwave the bowl on high for two minutes.

4. Mix the hot water mixture with the hand mixer on a medium setting.

5. Pour the hot oil into the bowl of mixing waters and extracts. Continue to beat the formula on a high setting for five minutes.
