Easy DIY Goat Milk Soap Recipe for Beginners | Step-by-Step Tutorial

[@annleblanc5347]

October 2023. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Your step by step instructions were so easy to follow even for a first time goat farmer like me. I still have to practice with the scent but the soap is amazing! My kid’s & grandkids have skin issues and this recipe is perfect. Thanks again, Ann

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Thanks for the feedback! Happy to hear you found a product that works for your needs! Good luck in the goat farming department:)

How much goat milk did you use please ?

[@LuvUrPeace]

Made this as my very first batch of soap and it turned out perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!! You rock! ❤❤❤

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Yay happy to hear it turned out well!!:)

[@debbieescobar6267]

Plz don't make the lye solution in that glass bottle...it isn't alkali resistant and will easily explode causing terrible burns. Use stainless steel (not aluminum!) or #5 plastic only. I use large #5 food containers.

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Well that’s interesting! I haven’t ever had a problem with glass but will definitely look into this more:)

[@kaylacreech4318]

The canning jar should be fine it's able to withstand canning temperatures as the lye heats up the jar should be fine.

[@debbieescobar6267]

@@kaylacreech4318it's not the heat so much as the alkali etching the glass, making it weaker each time used until it fails. Safety first...we don't want our soapermates getting hurt♥️

How much goat milk to the 4.9oz lye?

[@bee7549]

a scent or fragrance is provided by either essential oils which are pure and best if you are allergic to fragrance oils which are synthetic.

[@SunnyLifeDownUnder]

Great vid! I didn't know soap could be made cold press. Love your shelf drying rack too. Very smart!

[@karentuffs4266]

Thank you so much for sharing this. How long will the soap last?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

The soap will last you years however the scent may fade on you within 6 months to a year.

[@grannyanniesfarm4972]

Loved this video! I used to make and sell soaps but got out of it when I had to move and most of my recipes got destroyed. Wanting to get back into it for myself. Don't have a freezer for the milk right now and my last goat got killed over the winter so got some melt n poor goat milk to try. Yep, you sure can't be distracted. I was mixing my lye outside once. Got distracted. Moved fast to avoid a lye accident, fell, broke a bone, and nearly 10 years later it still hurts most days. Have a beautiful day! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Cool to hear that you enjoyed the video and that you once made soap yourself! Oh yikes… sorry to hear about your ongoing pain from your injury:/

[@danfattig]

I am your 1000th subscriber and i love your recipe and video thanks for sharing

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Woot!! Thanks for helping us get there!! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!

[@debbieescobar6267]

Plz change recipe to show percentages instead of weights so it can be sized for any mold. Thank you! I would recommend using much less water. You'll get a better soap if you use not more than twice the water to lye (2:1 water to lye)

[@julieeugene5828]

Hi , I'm new to soap making and watch this video a few times the recipe is asking for 4.91 of lye, but when you're measuring it the scale is showing 4.9 and you says 4.9 as well, I love the looks of the soap can you please get back to me with the correct number thank.

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Technically the recipe is 4.91 but the scale that I was using doesn’t read out that accurate, so if you make it with your scale reading 4.9 you shouldn’t have any problems at all!:)

[@rianajansevanrensburg2444]

You always round it up to the closest nr

[@PhunnyPhill]

Excellent video. One of the best I’ve seen. Very thorough. Thank you!

[@kamaljeetwadhwa9966]

It's a really good video pls let me know what you add before news wax❤

[@nataliez348]

What is the ratio of lye to goats milk? Thanks!

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

4.91 oz lye to 12 oz goats milk! Good luck!!

[@mrs.jillaroo6907]

Great tutorial. It musf be so satisfying to be able to become more & more self-sufficient on so many aspects.

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

It is! Especially as our little ones get to do everything with us :)

[@youngmihorn1196]

Do you make loaf? How can I buy?

[@tc1539]

Hello! So I followed this recipe almost to a T since i ran out of coconut oil. Only had 4 oz instead of the 10. So with that said, i added mofe oils here and there to compensate. Will the soap still be okay? Currently they're in the fridge and wkll stay there for 24 hrs

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Hopefully the soap will turn out ok, however you will have to wait until the 2 weeks to really know. There is an easy way to make adjustments to a soap recipe by using a lye calculator! It’s a pretty cool tool and easy way to create your own recipes/make adjustments to an existing one! Recommend you check it out if you make soap again:) Best of luck.

[@tc1539]

@@CampcorderOffGrid Oh no!! How will I know if it didn't work out? This will prob be the last time I will ever make soap 😂

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

I would say if it irritates your skin then it was a flop. When you make any changes to the percent of oils you use then you have to make changes to the amount of lye that you use. However, your changes may have been small enough for it to not have played a major effect on your batch.

[@gabbimiddleton8127]

How much milk do i need?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

12 oz of milk:)

[@naturewatcher7596]

Why do you need so many different kinds of oils? Can I use just canola or corn oil instead? Thank you.

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

There definitely is a variety of different oils which you can use for making cold processed goats milk soap! All comes down to what kind of oils your skin does well with and the quality of soap which you desire! Look for a recipe specifically for the oils which you are wanting to use:) Best of luck!

[@becerralupe3398]

Approximately how many ounces of milk do u freeze?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

12oz

[@frankgonzalez2781]

Hi with that mold how many soaps can you make with this mix?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

This single recipe will fill all 12 circular rounds.

[@jmp1166]

Can we substitute palm oil for something else??

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

You certainly can! I would suggest using a soap making calculator which you can typically find online. If you make adjustments to the ratio of oils being used then you will likely have to adjust your lye ratio.

[@erinclint-vc5sm]

Great video! I didn't catch how much goat milk is used in this recipe? Thanks!

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

I used 12oz of milk:)

[@damionnichols06]

thank you for the awesome vid !

[@syd2104]

Hello! Where can I buy the ingredients?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

I like to buy my soap making supplies from Brambleberry.

[@thomaswest2583]

Just curious i don't have a goat. Can i use cow milk?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Personally I haven’t ever done it with cows milk but from the little research that I did, it appears as if you can! Wouldn’t hurt to research it a little more before you give it a go:)

[@jean-annsuchy7532]

Thank you for the video. I just ordered 2 bars of your soap. Where do you get all your raw ingredients? Thinking I might start making soap, but seems a little overwhelming.

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Thanks for the order! Sending it out to you today!:) I get my raw ingredients from bramble berry and have loved using them! Really isn’t difficult to make, encourage you to give it a try😀

[@jean-annsuchy7532]

@@CampcorderOffGrid thank you! I will check out Bramble Berry today and see what I think. I have Oberhaslis, but none of them are freshening right now. Not till winter.

How much milk ?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

12 oz of milk:)

[@mtichris12]

Wondering what the cost is per bar vs sell price?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

I believe that the cost to make one bar is around $1.. granted that can vary and may cost you less if you bulk buy your supplies. I sell at wholesale for $6 and retail for $8.

[@bee7549]

@@CampcorderOffGrid does that then calculate at a 500% and 700% markup? or am I wrong in my calculations? Should it not be around $3 or $4 retail?

[@shelleytavares9715]

Thank you I’ve been so intimidated to try this. Love the paper you used what type of paper to wrap the soap?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Your welcome! You should definitely give it a try! Such a fun skill to know how to do. The paper that I used is actually just a brown coffee filter found off of Amazon:)

[@shelleytavares9715]

Seriously that’s so clever❤

[@Family.animals.are.life.]

Do you have to do all the oils?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

I haven’t done an experimenting without certain oils but doesn’t mean that it can’t be done:)

@@CampcorderOffGrid okay cool thank you, me and my sister will do your way then we'll do some experimenting lol

[@wilsongatibo9851]

Lol how is this goat milk soap😂😂

Is the almond oil "sweet" almond oil or is that the only kind there is?

[@CampcorderOffGrid]

Yes, I use sweet almond oil from Brambleberry
