Everything worth knowing about Goat’s Milk Soap

What is Goat Milk Soap?

What is goat milk soap? It is soap made with Goat’s Milk instead of water.

We make our soaps using the traditional cold process soap-making way. Converting the oils to soap, known as saponification. Leaving our soaps to cure for at least 4–6 weeks.

Combining oils with a base (Sodium hydroxide). Instead of water to dissolve the base we use our goats’ milk from the farm, giving a creamy soap due to the natural fats in milk. Two other methods to make handmade soap is the hot process and melt-and-pour.
