How To Make Soap Using Goat’s Milk And Oatmeal
Image source: lovinsoap.com
Making your own soap at home is a rewarding and frugal endeavor. There are many kinds of soap that you can make, but if you’re going to make a soap for everyday use, then you can’t go wrong with goat’s milk and oatmeal.
This soap is fairly simple to make and with this recipe you will get more than enough soap to last a year, even with daily use by a family. There aren’t too many ingredients and only a few steps. And if you have goats already, then that can make the whole process even more affordable.
First things first, though. This recipe uses lye, a caustic and dangerous chemical that can cause all sorts of health problems, including death. In other words, don’t make this stuff near the kids or pets. And make sure you wear eye protection and rubber gloves. Also, the powdered lye can easily become airborne, so if you make this outside make sure it’s not a windy day.
For the ingredients, you will need the following:
- 5 cups of goat milk
- 12 ounces of lye
- 10 ounces of lard
- 2 ounces of coconut oil
- ¾ cup of whole oats
- ¾ cup of ground oats
You also will need equipment, some of which can’t be used for food again after having been exposed to lye.
