- How To
Make Goat’s Milk Soap Using The Melt And Pour Method
By Jennifer Christine
Interested in making goat’s
milk soap using the melt and pour method? Well, you can buy goat’s
milk melt and pour soap bases to make your own goat milk hand
made soap. The advantage of making and using your own soap is
you know exactly what’s in it. Goat’s milk is considered
to be a soothing and moisturizing soap making ingredient.

First, decide on a recipe using
a goat’s milk melt and pour base. What kind of molds are
you going to use? Do you want to make shaped soap, like seashells
or flowers, or plain bars of soap?
Once you’ve decided on the
recipe and molds, find a goat’s milk melt and pour soap
base. It should be easy to find a soap supply site selling this
on Google. Just type in goat’s milk melt and pour soap base.
Once you’ve found your goat’s milk melt and pour soap
base (check the ingredients it contains first) you can start
looking for soap fragrances and colors, if you need any. The
site where you found the goat’s milk melt and pour soap
base may sell them.
Once you’ve decided on your
ingredients and have the necessary equipment (including safety
equipment) ready, it’s time to start making your goat’s
milk soap. |

Of course, it’s really important
to follow your soap making recipe so you know exactly when to
add each ingredient but basically to make melt and pour soap
you melt the soap in a suitable double boiler or microwave safe
bowl or jug, then add the soap coloring and fragrance and pour
it into molds and leave it to set. Once it’s set you can
unmold it. Unmold your soap by gently popping it out of the mold.
If it sticks, try running some water over the base of the mold
and then attempt to pop it out of the mold again. Once it’s
unmolded you can use it right away!
Once you’ve made your first
bar of goat's milk soap, you may never want to use non-goat’s
milk soap again. When I make goat’s milk soap for my friends
and family, they can’t stop raving about it! So why not
get started on making your own goat’s milk soap today? |
