Basic and Lovely Goat Milk Soap
Handmade with Fresh Goat Milk at Diamond E Ranch
This is our signature “From Goat to Soap” recipe — simple, skin-nourishing, and perfect for everyday use. It’s gentle, moisturizing, and filled with natural goodness, just the way soap was meant to be.
The Heart of It: Fresh Goat Milk
We use 12.5 oz of fresh (or slushy frozen) goat milk from our own herd. Goat milk is:
- Naturally rich in vitamins A, B6, and E
- Gentle and moisturizing for sensitive skin
- Creamy and luxurious in lather
Freezing or slushing the milk helps preserve its nutrients and prevents scorching during the soapmaking process.
The Lye (Sodium Hydroxide)
We use 4.5 oz of Red Crown lye — a necessary ingredient that reacts with the oils (called saponification) to create actual soap. Once cured, there’s no lye left in the final product — just smooth, safe, handmade soap.
The Oils & Fats:
Our balanced blend creates a bar that’s:
- Hard and long-lasting (thanks to lard & coconut)
- Moisturizing and gentle (from olive oil)
Recipe Breakdown:
- 12 oz Olive Oil – nourishing and mild
- 11 oz Lard – gives firmness and conditioning
- 10 oz Coconut Oil – cleansing and bubbly
Scented with Vanilla Essential Oil
We add 1 oz of vanilla essential oil to give each bar a warm, comforting aroma that pairs beautifully with the natural creaminess of the goat milk.
Whether this is your first bar or one of many, we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoy making it with you.
