How is goat’s milk soap made? Soap has two main ingredients; lye and
fat. When lye combines with a fat, chemical interaction hardens the
oils, creating a bar of hard soap. You can’t make soap from milk alone.
Other ingredients may include natural oils from vegetables, soybeans,
coconuts, seeds and nuts. When our great-grandmothers made their soap,
they used wood ashes and lard: the ashes were soaked in water, which
leached out lye. Cooking lard with lye created lye soap. These soaps
were unscented and very harsh. They were used for scrubbing laundry
and floors as well as for keeping their families clean.
Today, it is much easier to make your own soap. much more easily than
the pioneers did. You can readily buy soapmaking ingredients online, at
some craft stores, at co-ops and natural food stores. Lye is a caustic agent. You have to be careful when using it because when it’s undiluted, it can eat holes in your skin and it can destroy your clothes. Never make lye-based soaps as a fun craft for children; it’s just too dangerous. After lye combines with fats and saponification takes place, it’s no longer the caustic agent it was to begin with. When saponification is complete, there is no lye left in the mixture.
If you don’t want to make your own, but still want access to milk based
soaps, there are many online retailers that sell this wonderful soap.
Other ingredients, like scent and exfoliants, are added to homemade
milk soap. Aromatherapy soaps include natural and organic scents. For
aromatherapy, only buy soaps scented with organic essential oils such
as lavender, vanilla, and rose oils. “Fragrance” oils are use synthetic
chemicals which don’t have the beneficial neurological properties of
essential oils. Other healthy ingredients include oils like olive oil, almonds, oatmeal, honey, herbal ingredients, vitamins and exfoliants like cornmeal or coffee grounds.
Goat milk soaps are suitable for enemas and for all your bodily soap
needs. Butyrate in the milk, the healing fats of the olive, coconut and
palm, and the herbal essential oils can be therapeutic to the colon and
the skin
Essential oils are bioactive ingredients. They contain natural chemicals that interact with biological systems. Never use large amounts of essential oils externally, or internally. Never use essential oils undiluted. Essential oils must always be diluted in carrier oil, or soap, lotion, or other buffering agent. Know what their bioactive compounds are known to do and use them with care.
