Cold Process Goats Milk Soap

Makes 4 lbs. Weigh all ingredients, 
following basic cold process method.

8 oz. distilled water (cold)
8 oz. goat milk (cold)
6.5 oz. lye (sodium hydroxide)

8 oz. palm oil
17 oz. coconut 76° oil
17 oz. olive oil
1 oz grapefruit seed extract
2-3 ozs. essential oil  

Mix the distilled water and goat milk together in a container.  Add the lye to the water/goat milk mixture and watch as it turns a tan color.  Stir in all the lye.  Let sit about 10 minutes.  Don't be concerned about the temperature of the lye mixture or oils mixture.  Prepare your oils, add lye/water/goat milk mixture to the oils.  The lye/water/goat milk mixture will look curdled, stir and add it to the pot of oils.  Using a stick blender mix well and continue through to trace.  Add grapefruit seed extract as a preservative and any scent you like.  We've chosen Ginger Essential Oil for a wonderful "Zen" scent.  Pour into your mold, cover and let set 20-24 hrs.  Cure cut soap for 4 weeks.  

Goats milk soap has a creamy smooth texture and is very nourishing for your skin.
