How to make handmade, natural Goats Milk Soap

We've teamed up with local farmer, Dominic Gryson to make a goat's milk soap.
Goat's milk is known for it's soothing and healing properties on the skin so we thought summertime is the perfect time of year to bring out a super healing, skin-friendly and palm oil-free soap. It's great for nourishing dry skin and acts as a natural exfoliant.
We scented this soothing soap with our own blend of lavender, rosemary, thyme and mint pure essential oils. We have a small batch available to buy on our website - www.thehandmadesoapcompany.com
Share your thoughts and do let us know if you give it a try yourself!

I have sensitive skin. I used goat milk soap one day and realized that my skin doesn't itch or hurt. I am so happy and surprised. Love goat milk soap

[@babugurukal5721]

Good

[@fabricatedreality8218]

I've been making cold process soap for a year now and I use beer, coffee, colloidal oatmeal, honey, clays, aloe Vera puree and other additives.....i bought some goats milk from a local farm and I'm excited to try one of three goats milk soal recipes that I have. I love making soap. I will never use commercial soap again after making my own. 🐐 🛁 🚿

Best soap that any one can have, thank you so much for sharing 😍

[@justynaukanowska1959]

The soap looks really lovely and creamy:)

[@mimisauconnor8153]

Freezing the milk is such a brilliant idea

[@pinklotus4369]

Thank you very much shairing your experience . I love goat milk soap.

[@JessicaB81]

it’s best when doing milk soaps to soap when the lye and oils are room temperature because after poured in a mold the soap will begin to heat up again. You can put in fridge after poured in mold to keep soap from heating up too much, but if you are trying to reach gel phase , you def don’t want to mix your lye and oils if they are over 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit because the milk could over heat while in mold

[@Oneandonlyamirali]

Lovely explanation! Thanks for sharing

[@maureencollins450]

that was actually pretty cool

[@staceyleacornell]

This looks awesome, not many here in Upstate N.Y. they are not close to buying... I tried a powder and oh my that was bad idea. Now I guess I will try the can version, Thank you for sharing. A new lil soaper

Do you have any advice on how to buy the very best, sustainable oils? If I'm going to do this, I want to make it really great. Also, is there lye in the sodium hydroxide?

[@raisyahizza1214]

Love your videoo

[@rayachrawach3886]

You stated that you were using sweet almond oil but the recipe listed apricot kernel oil 165ml. Did you substitute the apricot kernel oil for the sweet almond oil? Thank you

[@pjdefrank]

How much of the scented essential oil was used by weight? Thanks

[@brightchange6065]

Thank you for the video but I have never heard that you should only add fragrance oils after or near trace or it will completely dissipate .. I havent found that to be true at all. I mix many fragrances oils in with oils before adding lye so I don't get a big surprise if it happens to accelerate and the fragrance holds and lasts just fine.

[@forwheretwoorthreearegathe7668]

Wonderful video! Do you hear the goat milk lye solution on stove?

[@ms_bella]

Please kindly send the recipe ,I can't see it. Please I really want to make this kind of soap

[@sjscreations2608]

Just started looking up great soaps for the skin, and goats milk was a huge hit. Your easy recipe and cooling advice makes sense and I appreciate the advice. If I don’t have a temperature gauge can I let the lye and the oiled sit for about 2 hours then blend them? Then add the essential oils? Cheers, Sean

[@davidcamacho8618]

I would really recommend get a temperature gauge lye can be very very dangerous

[@JessicaB81]

2 hours is typically more than enough time for them to cool down . But you need a temp gauge. Cause it’s best when doing milk soaps to soap when the lye and oils are room temperature because after poured in a mold the soap will begin to heat up again. You can put in fridge after poured in mold to keep soap from heating up too much, but if you are trying to reach gel phase , you def don’t want to mix your lye and oils if they are over 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit because the milk could over heat while in mold

I’ve been on medication for anxiety since I was 11-12 and It’s 100MG now I sweat so much not just because I’m nervous I just sweat and can’t seem to stop, I had gone to the shops for my mum and came back with sweat soaking my back and armpits and I wake up covered in sweat sometimes, no deodorants seem to let this go (the odor) and the ones that do only last a short while, I was back on rispiridone last year and I don’t remember much but I remember my hygiene getting worse even though I was washing. I’ve tried perfumes, sprays, oils just to mitigate it it wasn’t this bad when I was Younger and I’ve been on medication for years now. I hope this will help.

[@d.hawkins6437]

This is my first time watching this video! I love it!!! My daughter started making soap. I’m going to share this video with her.... I’d love to buy some goats milk soap from you guys but I didn’t see any on your website or am I looking at the wrong product. I know you said a limited time but it would be nice if you had a goat milk selection. Thanks

[@ophelian4646]

Your daughter can make this soap for you I'm sure! I started making my own soaps 2014 and it's so fun to make them and then try them out. Maybe your daughter can teach you to make your very own soap?!

I use goats milk soap for showering and it feels good and is not ichy like the normal soap I use

Can yogurt be used to make the soap instead of fresh milk?

[@franceskay1695]

Hello from a former Dub who is now homesteading in Central Massachusetts! I love your video and have just made my second batch. The first did not come out so well. I am curious about the almond oil, you mention it, but it's not listed in the ingredients. Also, how long does the soap have to cure before it can be used? I followed your recipe to the letter, and my "batter" looks just like yours in the video, so fingers crossed. I'm curious to see what color my finished soap is. Would love to know how long your cure yours! Thanks very much for the video :)

[@davidcamacho8618]

Cold press soaps take about 4-6 weeks and melt and pour soaps take up to 24-48 hours

[@salimakhan4555]

So when making goats milk soap u don’t cover it to dry ?

[@JessicaB81]

I know they poured all the sodium hydroxide in at one time with the ice cubes. But when those ice cubes are milk, then only put a bit of lye in at a time stirring then adding a little more and stirring. You can still scorch your milk by pouring it all in at one time

[@O-SeunNaturals20]

How long will this soap last before it expires?

[@ashleyjovine4820]

What if you order goats milk in a bar of soap? We would need to melt it to then freeze it?

How to order

[@franceskay1695]

I made this soap today (my first time). Mine was an orange colour when pouring into the mold, just as yours was in the video. Yet your finished product is white. Why is that?

[@leonardyoutube3349]

What type of coconut oil is that, It is condensed and solid like, why ? Is there a brand for that kind ?

[@leonardyoutube3349]

What type of coconut oil did you use ?

[@mangofleursoapbathbody4166]

Your lye cooked the goats milk and slightly scorched it which is why it is yellow. Freeze your milk then add the lye a little at a time, stirring well. Don’t rush this part and it should be fine.

[@mangofleursoapbathbody4166]

Leoozoemena ozoemena refined 76 or 92 degree. Look up coconut oil for soapmaking on line.

Can we use glycerin soap base instead of caustic soda???

[@elenagisa1318]

no

[@lynnscholes1617]

The soap looks so much whiter than the batter! Is there a reason for this?

[@TheHandmadeSoapCo]

Interesting question! It's a couple of things, partly to do with the heat during the soap making process and essential oils settling. And as the soap dries, it also cures which will cause the colour to change too.

acid not base, are you sure?...

Why do you have to pour the lye/milk into the oils always? Is there a difference?

[@z.z.4752]

If it’s the other way around the lye mixture can splash around and injure you since it’s corrosive

[@Henrydscout]

Yes, sodium hydroxide can be caustic and corrosive, but you should not be using enough for it to be harmful or painful to the touch when making this soap. I understand not everyone should go around touching all sodium hydroxide solutions, but you are a bit misleading in this case.
