Benefits of fresh Goat milk:

Goat milk is best known as a natural emollient that soothes and moisturizes the skin. Goat milk contains amino acids, proteins and vitamins to help nourish the skin and contains lactic acid which helps exfoliate, cleanse and soften the skin. Goat milk helps people who suffer from eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It also is great for all skin types, ranging from new born baby, teenagers suffering from acne to the elderly. Goat milk is recommended by dermatologists the world over for skin problems where medication simply does not help. The skin absorbs beta caseins easily and helps in rapid hydration of dry skin.

Our Goat Milk Soap is a potassium or liquid castile soap and a natural surfactant (surface active agent), made from vegetable oils. 

This soap is free from the usual foaming agents used in the more commercial soaps, like coco betaine, decyl glucoside, sodium laurel sulphate, free from detergents, thickeners and preservatives, all known skin irritants, making our base non-allergenic and 100% biodegradable. 

Unlike industrially made liquid detergents made from petrochemicals, or coconut derivatives, this handmade liquid soap, made from edible oils and goat milk is light tan in color with a pearlescent sheen and it may appear “runny”. Do not let this thinner consistency trick you in to believing your liquid soap is not concentrated enough, as it is usually foamier than most soap substitutes. You may find some essential oils e.g Rosemary and Eucalyptus can thicken your base, and some oils like Citrus essential oils can thin your base.

Our liquid soap base has its glycerine retained. Glycerin is a natural humectant or moisturizer, due to its water building capabilities, that allows it to draw and absorb water from the air. Chemically speaking glycerin is a byproduct of the saponification (soap-making) process.

To get a bit technical: In a way it is a “refuse” of the chemical bonding between the three fatty molecules of oils with the alkali molecule (potassium hydroxide), which leaves the fourth component of the oil molecules (glycerol) unbound and easily extracted from the soap.
In industrial soap making, glycerine is reclaimed from the soap paste, purified and sold as a separate product.
In the end of the soapmaking process the potassium hydroxide (a processing aid) has been used up and the natural handmade soaps contains all the available glycerol molecules (glycerine), which contribute to it's mildness and skin-friendliness.
Traditional handmade soaps all have a pH of between 8-10. Due to the high pH, it contains no preservatives, but should you wish to add any botanicals like aloe vera or herbal extracts it is advisable to add a preservative. This is not needed when adding essential oils.

There is a modern misunderstanding that a chemically based soap substitute is safer & milder on the skin, as it has a lower pH and that a natural & traditionally made soap from vegetable oils is harsher because it has higher pH. The fact is that the pH has no bearing on the mildness or harshness of a soap.
This misunderstanding started with the incorporation of chemicals into the soapmaking process, when during and after the 2nd world war, vegetable oils and fats were scarce.
To create a marketing edge over the traditionally made soaps and as these chemicals were naturally acidic in nature, the myth was created that soaps with a lower pH were more gentle on the skin that those with a higher pH. 
Soaps manage to cleanse the skin as dirt and oils have a tendency to migrate from a surface of a lower pH (the skin has a pH of around 7) to the higher pH of the soap and it is a fact that skin conditions of thousands of people have improved after changing over from chemical soaps to natural soaps.

Essential Oils:
We suggest the addition of 1 to 1.5% of essential oil. Blend well. The base will still stay clear, or will clear after a day or so. If you buy a 1L unit of either of our bases, then for easy blending add a 12ml bottle of essential oil and mix well.

Should you wish to use our Goat milk soap as a shampoo:
After many years of commercial shampoos, scalp and hair may require a few weeks before adjusting to the natural formulations of handmade shampoo base. For instance, it is normal that hair might appear greasier and feel heavier after the first few uses, this is an indication that the shampoo is slowly dissolving the buildup of "product" left by commercial shampoos and these symptoms will slowly disappear.

Adding a small amount (1 tablespoon) of apple cider vinegar to the last 250ml of rinse water will quickly restore the ideal PH of the scalp, it also has tonic, restorative and detangling qualities, which will quickly contribute to shiny, strong and healthy hair. The scent will dissipate quickly. 

With glycerine retained, our Goat milk soap is a 2 in 1 with the need for conditioner minimized
