Feb. 15, 2008 - Homemade Goat Milk Soap

You can take any basic cold process soap recipe and turn it into homemade goat milk soap.  How do you do this?  You do this by substituting goat milk soap for the water. 

If you check the MMS (Majestic Mountain Sage) Lye calculator at http://www.thesage.com/calcs/lyecalc2.php you will see that they do not recommend any change in the recipe for liquids if it is water or milk. 

I also checked the Columbus Food lye calculator at http://www.soaperschoice.com/calculator/calculator.php  and there is no change in liquid amounts for milk versus water there either.

I have successfully substituted milk for water in all of my recipes and never had any trouble.  So making homemade goat milk soap will be easy if you take an existing recipe that you know will work and substitute the water for goat milk.  If you have tried this already without much success, I would recommend that you view my video.  I will lead you step by step through more than one way to create goat milk soap.  You can view an introduction at my website How to Make Soap.
