All you need to do is buy an organic goat milk soap melt and pour base on amazon for example. Just make sure to read the ingredients so they are indeed natural and organic. Then all you need to do is melt and pour the soap base, add natural colorant if desired, a little extra moisturizer if desired and then pour the mixture into the silicone containers!
It’s super fun to play with spices like cinnamon to create colors. You can also add some loofah, orange peel, sugar, Himalayan salts or grounded coffee to exfoliate….The possibilities are endless!

2. GOAT MILK SOAP RECIPE USING FRESH GOATS MILK
Amanda from Lovingsoap.com kindly agreed to share her goat’s milk soap recipe using fresh goat milk. Thank you Amanda and shootout to your non profit organization http://www.lovinsoapproject.org. The Lovin’ Soap Project works to improve the lives of women through education and artisan soap making! What a beautiful idea!
Amanda shares with us a great trick: to use frozen goat milk so the lye solution does not overheat the milk. Overheating milk will turn it dark and she says : ” When the soap in the mold overheats you can get all kinds of issues including mushrooming, separation, cracking or other issues. ”
If you are vegan, you could use coconut or almond milk instead.
Fresh Goat Milk Soap Recipe:
- Coconut oil – 20 oz
- Olive oil – 20 oz
- Rice bran oil – 5 oz
- Avocado oil – 5 oz
- Castor oil – 4 oz
- Shea butter – 5 oz
- Sweet Almond oil 5 oz
- Goat’s milk 18 oz
- Lye – 9 oz
3/ OAT GOAT MILK SOAP RECIPE
James from Little Seed Farm is sharing this awesome oat goat milk soap recipe with us, what a delight for dry skin in the winter! Did you know that oats were used by the Egyptians and Arabs to beautify their skins? Oats contains polysaccharides that will help fight dull and flaky skin! It is also a great moisturizer and has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties to relieve skin itchiness.
You will need to scale for this goat milk soap recipe and actually for soap making you should really get in a kitchen scale (this one is only $12!) as this can prevent you from bad soap making batches!
Here are the ingredients of the Oatmeal Goat’s Milk Soap
- 16 oz frozen goat’s milk, broken into chunks (freezing the milk helps keep the heat from the lye/liquid reaction from burning the milk sugars)
- 15 oz coconut oil
- 30 oz olive oil
- 6.4 oz lye
- 1/4 cup oats (ground in food processor to a powder) a lined mold
Word of caution when making goat milk soap recipe soap from scratch from James: ***Wear safety goggles, dish gloves, long sleeved shirt, jeans, socks and shoes while making soap to protect your skin from eventual splashes of the lye solution. Keep a bottle of white vinegar and a paper towel to apply it with in case some of the lye solution splashes on you (the acid from the vinegar helps neutralize the alkaline lye).***
