Simple goat milk soap recipe Here’s a simple, reliable goat milk soap recipe you can use at home. 🧼 Simple Goat Milk Soap (Cold Process) 🌿 Ingredients 16 oz olive oil 8 oz coconut oil 6 oz shea butter (or tallow for a more homestead-style bar) 6.5 oz frozen goat milk 4.3 oz lye (sodium hydroxide) Optional: essential oils (1–2 oz total), dried herbs, or oatmeal ---- 🛠️ Tools Digital scale (very important for accuracy) Heat-safe containers (no aluminum) Stick blender Thermometer (optional but helpful) Silicone mold Gloves + safety goggles ---- 🧊 Step 1: Prepare the Goat Milk Freeze your goat milk into ice cubes This keeps it from scorching when you add the lye ⚠️ Step 2: Wear gloves and goggles-dont breath in the fumes that are created when mixing in next step. Do this outside or in ventilated area. Don't get lye mixture on hands or skin-from this step on throughout the processing. Begin the process- Mix Lye + Milk (Safety First) Slowly sprinkle lye into the frozen goat milk Stir gently as it melts Keep temperature low (below ~100°F if possible) It may turn creamy yellow—that’s normal 🔥 Step 3: Melt Oils Melt coconut oil and shea butter Add olive oil Let oils cool to around 100°F 🌀 Step 4: Combine when both mixture and oils are within the 5 degrees of each other's temps @ around 100°f. Slowly pour lye/milk mixture into oils Blend with stick blender until “trace” (pudding-like consistency) 🌸 Step 5: Customize Add essential oils, oats, or herbs Stir gently 🧱 Step 6: Mold + Set Pour into mold Lightly cover (don’t over-insulate—milk soap can overheat) Let sit 24–48 hours ✂️ Step 7: Cut + Cure Remove from mold and cut into bars Cure for 4–6 weeks in a cool, dry place ---- 💡 Tips (From Experience) Goat milk soap is extra moisturizing because of natural fats and sugars Keeping temps low helps preserve that creamy color (instead of turning dark) If it smells a little “ammonia-like” at first—don’t worry, it fades during cure

We are developing a physical homestead educational center. Legacy building for the future generations to come. Our focus is building a working farm and educational retreat center. Creating the space to grow food, community, and following Jesus in every way. He provides the food, but also teaches men to fish- So we believe we must also teach a man to farm, build, create, care for livestock and love others and Jesus well. There are many great farm teachers out there, craftsmen, creators in all fields-including the trades, arts, and tech. We hope to encourage and bring workshops in person and live; that will not only develop a skill set to benefit your life, but will lead you into greater wisdom through Jesus. Here is where we post all things related to homesteading. Be creative, filled and blessed.
